XA (Extreme Aspherical) Element: Minimizes spherical aberrations, astigmatism, and coma for exceptional sharpness across the frame.
Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Elements: Reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
Nano AR Coating: Suppresses reflections, flare, and ghosting for enhanced contrast and color fidelity, even in backlit conditions.
