This fast-aperture, full-frame compatible lens boasts a compact and lightweight design, weighing approximately 280g and measuring 65.6mm in diameter x 73.0mm in length. Its compact size allows for comfortable operation even when mounted on an APS-C camera, allowing you to enjoy professional-grade photography with its high image quality. When mounted on an APS-C camera, the focal length is equivalent to 52.5mm in 35mm format, making it ideal for snapshots and portraits. A single high-resolution aspherical lens is effectively positioned across the entire frame, suppressing various aberrations from the maximum aperture of f/1.8, achieving high resolution from edge to edge. This lens offers professional-grade photography in a wide range of everyday scenes, from snapshots to outdoor and landscape shots, and taking advantage of the lens's brightness for dimly lit indoor and nightscape shots. Close-up photography perfect for flower and tabletop photography. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.22m and a maximum magnification of 0.24x, it delivers excellent image quality even when capturing tabletop photos or flowers at close range. Beautiful bokeh thanks to the nine-blade circular aperture. The nine-blade circular aperture maintains a nearly circular shape. Taking advantage of the brightness of the large aperture (f/1.8) lens, you can enjoy natural, soft bokeh effects in snapshots and portraits. Linear Response MF for Excellent Responsiveness The focus ring features a linear response MF, providing excellent response even with delicate manual focus operation. The focus adjustment is linear with the ring rotation angle, with minimal time lag, allowing for precise focusing that directly reflects the photographer's intentions.
Focus Mode Switch for Instant AF/MF Switching: AF/MF can be switched with a switch on the lens. This allows for instant switching without taking your eye off the viewfinder, making operation easy even while shooting.
Customizable Focus Hold Button: The focus hold button can be assigned to your preferred function via menu operations on the camera body. Assign functions such as "Grid Line Display" for convenient composition confirmation and "White Balance" for adjusting color tones according to weather conditions or personal preference, allowing for flexible customization for comfortable shooting.
Dust- and Splash-Resistant Design: The dust- and splash-resistant design allows for easy outdoor photography. The body exterior is made of aluminum alloy, providing both durability and lightweight construction. *Although the camera is dust- and splash-resistant, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
Uses internal focusing with no change in overall lengthThe lens barrel remains unchanged when focusing thanks to an internal focusing system. This shortens the minimum focusing distance, and because the front element of the lens does not rotate, it is easy to use even when using a polarizing filter. It also suppresses fluctuations in the angle of view when focusing.
Swift and quiet focus drive makes it ideal for video. To accommodate the critical focus adjustments required for shallow depth of field, the lens is equipped with a linear motor that enables high-speed, high-precision, and high-tracking AF control. In addition to achieving a swift and quiet focus drive, it also supports wobbling drive, which enables precise focusing with a fine back-and-forth movement when shooting video. This lens is ideal not only for still images, but also for video shooting.
