About the Optics!
The 4-element, full-coated optical lens design not only minimizes distortion across most of the lens, but it also aids in reducing light glare, subsequently enhancing contrast for better low-light performance. The generous 52° Field of View (FOV) is a step up from the standard entry-level options that are typically around 40°. A larger FOV gives a more spacious appearance, as opposed to tighter views that can feel as though you are “looking through a straw”. The blackened edges top off the lineup of stunning optical features by further minimizing any stray light that obstructs your observations.
