- Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in available light conditions and provides greater control over depth of field.
- Five special low dispersion (sld) elements and one f low dispersion (fld) element markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy.
- Three aspherical elements, including a large-diameter aspherical lens, control spherical aberrations and distortion for increased sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Specially designed for mirrorless cameras
Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in available light conditions and provides greater control over depth of field. Five Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and one F Low Dispersion (FLD) element markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Three aspherical elements, including a large-diameter aspherical lens, control spherical aberrations and distortion for increased sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super Multi-Layer Coating combined with a Nano Porous Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting to a greater degree than conventional anti-reflective coatings. A stepping AF motor benefits both photographers and videographers with its fast, precise, and near-silent performance. Full-time manual focus control can also be selected. Built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button can be assigned additional functions widens the range of operations available on the lens. Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. Weather-resistant construction with a brass bayonet and water- and oil-repellent lens coatings.
