Optics for realistic pictures

The lens has been designed with extreme care for detail. Its optics comprise 13 elements in 11 groups, including low-dispersion ED, aspherical and hybrid-aspherical elements. The optics feature multi-layer anti-reflective UMC coatings to ensure optimum light transmission. To facilitate the reading on the focus and aperture scale, both these indexes are marked in a parallel position to the optical axis of the lens. The Ultra Multi Coating on the lens minimizes flares and ghosting.
