This high zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR
cameras and capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from
wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass
elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses offer the utmost correction
for all types of aberrations, and enables this extended range super
zoom lens to be housed in a compact and lightweight construction. The
new lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of
digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance.
