Aspherical and UD lens elements
Two aspherical elements help in the reduction of aberrations such as the image field curvature or distortion - that contributes to the high image quality. The correction of chromatic aberrations in the wide-angle shots are not uncommon to take two UD lenses: a crisp image from edge to edge.
Super Spectra coatings
Canon's patented solution to the lens coating minimizes flare and ghost images. This will also increase the light transmission and reduces reflections.
