The new lens features 8 elements, several made with various types of special glasses, while one element is aspherical. Other notable features include floating elements for better close-up performance (still down to .7 metres), a built-in collapsible lens shade that can be locked in the extended position, and a knurled focussing ring that also has an integral finger tab (for those who can't decide whether to rub or to poke the thing). Length is just over 52mm and weight is 335 grams. Very good news, indeed.
