Four aspherical elements and two ED elements with extra-low dispersion take advantage of high resolution across the entire 24–50 mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and color bleeding are suppressed for sharp rendering, and the 11-blade circular aperture at F2.8 creates beautiful bokeh typical of G lenses. A maximum magnification of 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) with a minimum focusing distance of 0.19 m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18 m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide-angle end allows for amazing detail.
