- Lens Construction
- The lens features two aspherical elements and one ED glass element to help reduce chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range while also aiding in producing images with accurate colors, contrast, and sharpness. Also benefitting the overall image quality is a refined rear lens element shade, which works to counter internal reflections and minimize the appearance of flare and ghosting on imagery.
- Smooth Autofocus Motor
- The SAM system within the lens provides smooth and quiet auto focusing performance that ideally suits HD video recording and other applications where focus speed and precision are necessary. The AF motor is incorporated within the lens itself and receives AF drive controls directly from the camera body for higher accuracy and more fluid focusing.
