Technologies

Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD)

Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) is a high output, small form factor ultrasonic motor technology developed by OLYMPUS. SWD enabled lenses promise easy, fast and accurate focusing.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass

ED glass dramatically improves chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings

Aspherical lens

Aspherical lenses minimize spherical aberration in all types of lenses, including large-aperture lenses. Aspherical lenses maintain high contrast in images taken with the aperture wide open, and effectively suppress image distortion.
