A particularly finely crafted zoom lens incorporating 13 elements in 10 groups, using 12 different types of optical glasses - five of which feature anomalous partial dispersion - this apochromatically corrected zoom lens delivers performance on a par with fixed focal lengths of comparable speed.

It delivers very high contrast and clear differentiation of even the most delicate color gradations at all focal lengths, and across the entire image field down to the close-up range. Both coma and astigmatism are barely discernible.

As a result, the possible uses of this zoom lens are almost unlimited: you'll be just as successful with stationary subjects as encountered in art photography and action shots, as in fashion or sports photography, where shooting rapid sequences is essential.
