Optical Design

One aspherical element is incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.

Double-gauss optical configuration helps to reduce field curvature and distortions for more consistent image quality from edge-to-edge.

Besides contributing to depth of field control and low-light performance, the bright f/1.8 design also helps to achieve a lightweight and compact profile, making this lens suitable for everyday, walkaround shooting.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

Autofocus and Physical Design

DC actuator motor offers quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance to suit both stills and video applications.

Minimum focusing distance of 45 cm and a 0.15x maximum magnification suit working with nearby subjects.

Metal bayonet offers increased durability and a solid feel when mounting the lens.
