The optical design comprises 11 elements in 8 groups, including 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one aspherical lens. Chromatic and spherical aberrations are said to be effectively suppressed. Sagittal coma is also reportedly minimized.
The lens is constructed from glass elements and a metal barrel, weighing 510 grams. The autofocus is driven by a quiet stepping motor (STM). The minimum focusing distance is 15 cm. The aperture consists of 9 blades.
In addition to focus and aperture rings, the lens also features two customizable function buttons. A certain level of protection against harsh conditions is provided by a dust-resistant mount and a coated front element.
The 7Artisans AF 10mm F2.5 costs 449 US dollars and is available immediately.
