• Enables unique imaging styles through the combination of high resolving power enabled by superior optical performance, smooth and beautiful bokeh that makes the most of the shallow f/1.2 depth of field, and 35 mm angle of view.
• Achieves a sense of depth with smooth bokeh that transitions gently as it moves away from the focal plane.
• An ideal lens structure with symmetry in front of and behind the aperture realises outstanding optical performance.
• Three ED glass elements and one aspherical ED glass element enable effective correction of various lens aberrations.
• Adoption of Meso Amorphous Coat, Nano Crystal Coat, and ARNEO Coat effectively reduces ghosting and flares for clear rendering.
• Adoption of a multi-focusing system² that uses stepping motors (STMs) realises fast and accurate AF drive for both still images and video.
• A design that takes video recording into consideration, including stable exposure and functions such as focus-breathing suppression, which effectively reduces shifting of the angle of view when focusing.
• Two convenient lens Fn buttons, to which a wide variety of functions can be assigned, enable smooth adjustment of settings, even during vertical shooting.
• Superior dust- and drip-resistant performance³ is ensured by sealing various parts of the lens, including movable parts of the lens barrel.
