- The lens construction of the latest Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens consists of a Nano Crystal Coat, as well as a Super Integrated Coating applied to the glass elements, to effectively reduce surface and internal reflections, which will also reduce lens flare and ghosting from occurring.
- In addition, the lens also employs two ED glass elements to provide effective compensation for axial chromatic aberration.
