At its heart is an 88 mm pure fluorite crystal objective, which all but eliminates chromatic aberration for vivid, natural colour, and Kowa has upgraded the lens and prism coatings to raise light transmission across the whole colour spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is now 100% magnesium alloy - tougher and lighter than before - and is fully waterproof and nitrogen-sealed, with KR coating on the objective.
