The incorporation of three aspherical elements enhances consistent sharpness throughout the image by minimizing spherical aberrations and distortion. Additionally, the rounded 7-blade diaphragm delivers smooth, attractive bokeh for effective selective focus performance.

Focus Control for Stills and Video

Equipped with two linear motors, this lens provides fast and precise autofocus along with reliable subject tracking for dynamic scenes. Its quiet AF operation makes it suitable for cinematic use. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens compact for quicker focus response. Linear Response manual focus control ensures smooth, natural adjustments, complemented by an AF/MF switch on the barrel for easy mode selection. Customizable focus hold buttons offer convenient tactile control and quick access to key functions. The lens excels in close-up photography, with a minimum focus distance of 25cm in manual focus (30cm in AF) and a maximum magnification of 0.23x.

Sleek-but-Robust Design

The lens features a physical aperture ring that can be de-clicked for seamless and silent aperture adjustments, ideal for video work. With a compact 45mm length and a lightweight 173g build, it offers excellent portability and compatibility with both full-frame and APS-C cameras. Its dust- and moisture-resistant construction enhances durability in challenging environments, while the fluorine-coated front element resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints, simplifying maintenance.
