The primary technologies that form the underpinnings of Canon's larger HD studio lenses have all been preserved in this new compact DIGI SUPER 22xs and they include:
Newly developed materials (including Canon's high index ultra low dispersion material) combined with the very latest in element design innovations and multilayer coatings produce an unsurpassed pristine imaging system for the most discerning production team. The HDxs logo identifies the deployment of all of these technologies in the lens.
Second-generation precision digital servo systems using Canon-developed miniature 16-bit optical rotary encoder devices
a breakthrough ergonomic mechanical design that exploited Power Optic technologies to achieve an overall physical package that looks superb when mounted on any of the contemporary SDTV and HDTV portable production camera heads.
All contemporary Canon lenses avoid the use of materials and substances potentially harmful to the environment. Lead has been removed from all optics and other identified substances from all components comprising the composite lens system.
