Super Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras.

The large aperture wide-angle lens for close up photography

This large-aperture wide-angle lens is equipped macro focusing capability with a maximum magnification of 1:2.7 and fast F1.8 maximum aperture.  The use of aspherical lenses are offered for superior peripheral brightness and compensation of aberrations and astigmatism. This is an ideal DG lens for Digital SLR cameras.

Macro capability

This lens is capable of Macro photography at minimum focusing down to 18cm (7.1 inch) (reproduction ratio 1:2.7).  

It incorporates the floating focus system in order to minimize distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism, which provide high performance at all shooting distance down to 18 cm (7.1 inch).    Reproduction ratio 1:2.7 and an angle of view of 84.1 allow capturing of high quality images not only a subject but also the surrounding scenery.

Aspherical lens

It incorporates a floating focus system and uses two aspherical lens elements for minimizing distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism.
