Hi all,

Some of Canon's newer lenses, like the 16-35, are advertised as being a
"digital" lens. I came across an interesting bit of information the other
day on one of Canons sites.

"Improving Compatibility of EF lenses to Digital Photography
 Measures against flare and ghost particular to digital photography
The image sensors in digital cameras have higher specular surface
reflection than film. Due to this characteristic, when there is intense
point light source within the field, the light reflects off the surface
of image sensor, causing flare or ghost. To solve this issue, Canon has
adopted a new approach to the optical design of EF lenses."
