Kuroda: Relying only on conventional technology, it would have been difficult to ensure performance on a par with a prime lens across the entire zoom range. Therefore, for the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, we developed new equipment to allow us to drive the optical performance to a level of accuracy about five times greater than ever before. Using the new equipment to carefully align each lens individually, we were able to fully exploit the high potential of the design to bring together stunning resolution performance and bokeh, despite their inherent contradictions, and raise them to a higher level. You could say that the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM has undergone not just a design evolution, but also a manufacturing evolution, which has positioned it one notch above the standard of previous zoom lenses.
