-
Outstanding image quality at all focal lengths
Precision AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements, three ED glass elements, and Super ED glass work together in an advanced optical design to deliver excellent corner-to-corner resolution.
-
Superb sharpness, clarity, color and bokeh in one lens
State-of-the-art optics deliver stunning sharpness, clarity, color, and contrast, while exquisitely smooth full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a circular 9-blade aperture mechanism and carefully optimized spherical aberration.
-
Convenient, direct creative control of lens functions
In addition to 2-position AF/MF and OSS ON/OFF switches, 3-position switches are provided for focus range limit and image stabilization mode selection.
-
Linear Response MF for precise, repeatable manual focus control
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually.
-
Front fluorine coating repels fingerprints, dust, water and oil
The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
