Optical Performance

Advanced Optical Construction

The lens integrates one ultra-precision aspherical (UA) element, three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and nine high refractive index (HR) elements across a 15-element, 11-group design. This combination minimizes aberrations and maintains high sharpness across the frame.

The HD multilayer nano coating suppresses flare and ghosting, helping produce cleaner, higher-contrast images in challenging lighting.

Dual Hyper VCM Motors

The AF system uses Dual Hyper VCM motors to deliver fast, quiet, and accurate focusing performance. It supports advanced face and eye detection for improved subject tracking.

Customisable Controls

The barrel includes a customizable Fn button and a switch for choosing clicked or smooth aperture operation—ideal for both stills and video. An AF/MF switch provides quick focus mode changes.
