Superior G Master Optics

• G Master lens construction ensures edge-to-edge sharpness, high contrast, and exceptional resolution across the zoom range.

• Two XA (extreme aspherical) and three standard aspherical elements control astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations for highly accurate image rendering.

• Two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for clarity and color neutrality.

• Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare, ghosting, and internal reflections for improved contrast in challenging lighting conditions.

• Rounded 11-blade diaphragm delivers smooth, natural bokeh for creative shallow depth-of-field effects.

Bright Constant Aperture

• f/2.8 maximum aperture provides consistent brightness across the zoom range.

• Supports low-light shooting, fast shutter speeds, and creative subject-background separation.
