Features

Outstanding Optical Performance

The KJ20x8.2B KRSD produces innovative performance with Canon's superb optical technology, Extraordinary Dispersion Glass (which is used in Canon's state-of-the-art Field/Studio box-type lenses), and other unique optical materials and coatings. Chromatic aberration is suppressed across the entire lens surface, enabling sharp images with minimal distortion at any object distance. An optimal balance of resolution and contrast in peripheral areas of the image enables you to realize sharp and clear pictures. Canon's unique Multilayer optical coatings will effectively reduce ghost and flares from the sun, headlights, or other bright light sources.

Newly Developed Advanced Drive Unit

Together, these technologies and materials have produced an outstanding combination of cost-effectiveness and performance in the KJ20x8.2B KRSD. The lens has minimized axial, and lateral chromatic aberrations, which can be reduced further with 'the chromatic aberration compensation function' that is built-in to the Drive unit. Coma aberrations and geometric distortion are well controlled. The new optical materials and multi-layer optical coatings used in the lens effectively lessen the ghosting.

The KJ20x8.2B KRSD also has a high MTF (modulation transfer function) at the picture centre that is well controlled right out to the picture extremities. The KJ20x8.2B KRSD's optical performance is well-balanced for both near and distant subjects, surpasses previously available lenses in this price range.
