The Elements ensure that chromatic aberration and distortion are minimized, resulting in higher sharpness and image quality. The lens also uses UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) treatment to suppress reflections and shadows, which increases contrast and light transmission.

Its compact size and light weight provide excellent mobility, making it ideal for travel photography, architecture, interiors and landscapes. Thanks to the high optical quality, image sharpness is maintained from the centre to the edges of the image even at the maximum aperture of f/2.0. The lens is also weatherproof thanks to its all-metal tube and weather sealing.
