High Quality Lens Features
Clearing the stringent quality standard of LEICA, the lens system features is comprised of 20 elements in 13 groups, featuring two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses, an UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens and an aspherical ED lens. The use of UED and aspherical ED lens achieves high resolution, high contrast image from corner to corner. Chromatic aberration is effectively suppressed thanks to the ED and UED lenses. Adoption of aspherical ED lens also helps dramatic downsizing despite its powerful 800mm (35mm camera equiv.) optical zoom. It also features 0.5x (35mm camera equiv.) capability for impressive macro shot.
