This brightness, combined with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, ensures that your close-up shots and portraits are consistently crisp and clear.
Advanced Optical Design
The lens features ED and aspherical elements, which correct for coma and chromatic aberrations, ensuring high-quality images with minimal distortion. A fluorine coating on the lens surface helps to repel dirt, water, and smudges, keeping your lens clean and your images sharp.
Fast and Quiet Autofocus
Equipped with a stepping motor (STM), the lens provides fast, precise, and virtually silent autofocus. This makes it ideal for both still photography and video work, with reduced wobbling and minimal focus breathing. The lens also includes a focus limiter switch to enhance speed and accuracy over shorter distances.
Convenient and Robust Design
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm ensures aesthetically pleasing bokeh and background blur, effectively isolating your subject. The lens features a large metal mount for improved light capture and reduced distortion, along with a unique front-focusing design that minimizes size and weight for ease of handling.
