The lens construction integrates three aspherical lens elements to provide a reduction in chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range.

Beside fast autofocus performance, manual override (M/A) is also available for instant switching to manual focus for fine-tuning of focus or for more creative focus placement. Its minimum focus distance is 11inch and it provides a 77mm front filter thread.
