The use of SLD glass and a Super Multi-Layer coating ensures strong correction of chromatic aberration and effective flare suppression for clean image quality. This lens is best for experimental photographers and astrophotographers seeking a dedicated circular fisheye perspective, not a standard rectilinear wide-angle.
