Below are listed all such lenses in chronological order of their publication, the names are indicated according to the spelling on the lens housing or near the front lens, and the optical design and the number of special elements are indicated:

- IF (Iinternal Focusing) - internal focus
- aspherical (ASP) - the presence of aspherical elements in the optical scheme
- SLD (Special Low Dispersion) - special low dispersion elements in the optical scheme
