Thanks to an ultra compact and lightweight build, the lens is remarkably mobile.

The optical scheme of the lens includes 13 elements in 9 groups. The construction consists of  two aspherical lenses and one SLD element, thereby chromatic aberrations are practically invisible at any focal length.

The lens is perfectly fit for travelers. Light weight and ultrawide angle make it possible to shoot vastlandscapes, great spaces, city vistas and building interiors.
