Offers a bright maximum aperture and an ultra wide-angle.

Its diagonal angle of view is an impressive 114° - anything larger would be a fisheye lens. This lens features completely redesigned optics, including two high-precision Aspherical elements and two UD-glass elements. This results in better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs. Its minimum focus distance is 7.9".
