A triple-aspherical optic system with two UD glass elements and precise digital corrections enables the lens to produce flat-field sharpness with minimal barrel distortion, even at its widest angle delivering true-to-life architectural lines and natural landscapes.
Custom RF lens data is communicated to the R-series body, automatically removing color fringing along high-contrast edges, which is especially significant when shooting interiors with mixed natural and artificial light that would otherwise reveal magenta or green fringes at the periphery.
This pairing delivers almost instantaneous autofocus tracking across the frame, letting users lock onto subjects even at wide angles during fast-paced event coverage or city shooting, where fleeting moments and complex backgrounds require reliable focus.
The unique combination of a true 15mm field, standard 82mm thread, and minimal vignetting allows rental clients to use larger, creative filters (like circular polarizers, NDs, and star effect glass) while keeping strong edge performance and flatter illumination corner-to-corner at ultra-wide settings.
Users can set the lens control ring for aperture or ISO adjustments and make silent, tactile exposure changes during continuous capture. This is especially valuable in changing light at dawn, sunset, or during long-exposure night shoots, ensuring seamless sequences without bumping the camera or disrupting composition.
