• Uses 2 UD lens elements to minimize lateral chromatic aberration to which wide-angle
lenses are prone, achieving superb image quality with excellent resolution and contrast
with little or no color bleed around the outline of the subject
• Lens coatings and lens disposition optimized to minimize the ghosting and flare that
frequently occur when the lens is used with a digital camera
Flare and Ghosting Suppressed
Lens without optimized coating
• Waterproof and dustproof construction used in the mount, focus mode switch and
focusing ring to prevent dust and moisture from getting into the lens, making it suitable
for taking pictures even in harsh conditions

• Rear focusing system, ring USM, high-speed CPU and improved AF algorithms for fast
and quiet autofocusing
• Manual focusing enabled even during the AF mode (full-time mechanical manual focus)
• Focus mode switch has been given a shape that prevents it from being changed
accidentally
• Equipped with constriction-type gelatin filter holder at the rear of the lens
