The lens design  has 11 elements in eight groups. Two extra-low dispersion, two high-refractive index, and one ultra-high refractive index elements improve image quality and reduce optical aberrations. Multilayered coatings to the lens glass minimize ghosting and flare, producing greater contrast and truer colors. A dedicated AF/MF focus mode switch for quick and convenient operation, putting full control at your fingertips. The USB-C port on the lens barrel enables firmware upgrades to enhance lens performance and accuracy.
