- The aspherical, super ud, and ud lens elements which help to achieve high image quality appropriate for an l lens
- Highly durable dust and water resistant qualities, to withstand the rigorous conditions faced by professionals
- Swc (on 2 lens surfaces) and asc (air sphere coating) reduce ghosting caused by light sources within the image, a phenomenon often seen in wide-angle lenses
