Inside there is an optical scheme made up of fifteen lenses, two of which are aspherical to reduce optical aberrations, one of the Special Low Dispersion type and one Extraordinary Low Dispersion which together reduce chromatic aberrations when light enters the lens. It was specifically created for DSLR cameras equipped with an APS-C sensor, which is why its use with Full Frame cameras is not recommended, the combination of which could give rise to an exaggerated vignetting effect.
