The lens is equipped with a processor and a motor, which allows you to control the aperture from the camera and fully record EXIF data. Apochromatic optical design (APO) The modern optical design of the lens has made it possible to virtually eliminate the occurrence of bothersome chromatic aberrations. Photos taken with this lens are razor-sharp, clear, and colors are vivid and true to nature. Postproduction of such source files is a pure pleasure.
