Unbelievable high resolution and natural bokeh. AF performance that captures fleeting moments. This large-aperture telephoto prime lens, crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, delivers the stunning resolution you expect from the G Master lens, even at its maximum aperture of f/1.8, while also delivering smooth, beautiful bokeh. Its AF performance enables fast, precise, and responsive focusing, while its user-friendly operability meets the needs of professionals in a wide range of scenes, from portraits to weddings, sports, and floral photography. A new optical design featuring a large-aperture, ultra-high aspherical XA lens element delivers high resolution from maximum aperture across the entire frame. The front lens element employs an ultra-high aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lens element, with surfaces controlled to within 0.01 microns, a precision greater than ever before. The new optical design, with optimal placement of Super ED (extra-low dispersion) and ED glass elements, thoroughly corrects the various aberrations commonly encountered in telephoto lenses. Furthermore, thanks to G Master's high design standards, this telephoto prime lens with an F1.8 maximum aperture achieves high resolution performance across the entire frame. The optimal placement of one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and one ED glass element effectively corrects axial chromatic aberration, a common problem with large-aperture telephoto lenses, resulting in sharp images. In addition to improved resolution, it also suppresses color bleeding in the foreground and background of the focused area. High resolution performance across the entire focus range and excellent close-up shooting capabilities: The lens employs a floating focus mechanism that moves two focus lens groups during focusing. This effectively suppresses aberration fluctuations due to shooting distance, providing high resolution across the entire focus range and excellent close-up shooting capabilities with a minimum focusing distance of 0.7m and a maximum shooting magnification of 0.25x. Sony's proprietary Nano AR coating suppresses flare and ghosting, delivering superior imaging performance. Sony's proprietary Nano AR coating technology suppresses the flare and ghosting that often occur when shooting backlit portraits. It delivers high-contrast, crystal-clear imaging performance with deep blacks. Beautiful bokeh thanks to an ultra-high aspherical XA lens and thorough spherical aberration control. Further advances in bokeh simulation and the development and adoption of a large-aperture ultra-high aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lens significantly reduce the ring-like bokeh that is noticeable when photographing point light sources. Furthermore, the design takes into consideration spherical aberration, which has a significant impact on bokeh, and aberrations are individually adjusted during the manufacturing process. By thoroughly controlling spherical aberration in both design and manufacturing, the quality of bokeh is enhanced. An 11-blade circular diaphragm delivers natural bokeh. The diaphragm mechanism employs 11 circular blades, the most of any α lens. Even when stopped down by one or two stops, the lens maintains a nearly circular shape, allowing you to enjoy the large, soft bokeh effect unique to large-aperture telephoto lenses, highlighting people as the main subject in portrait photography and other situations. The floating focus mechanism, powered by Sony's proprietary XD Linear Motor, achieves high speed, high precision, and excellent tracking. This achieves weight reduction by dividing the focus lens group into two. Additionally, four Sony-developed XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, two in each focus group, drive the large, heavy focus lens group of a large-aperture telephoto lens with high speed and precision. This maximizes the camera body's speed performance, enabling fast, precise, and accurate focusing for dynamic portraits and fast-moving sports, ensuring you never miss a single moment of movement. Furthermore, when combined with a control algorithm developed specifically for the XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor, this system improves responsiveness to control signals and synchronizes the two focus lens groups with high precision, achieving high-speed AF. At the same time, it also achieves a quiet, low-vibration AF drive that minimizes vibrations that tend to occur, allowing the photographer to concentrate without interfering with the production, such as stage photography.
Lightweight design achieves a weight of approximately 950g, making it highly portable. In addition to the latest optical design, the lens barrel is made of magnesium alloy, achieving a weight reduction of approximately 950g. Combined with the compact E-mount body, it is ideal for scenes that require mobility and portability, such as outdoor portrait photography.
