Sophisticated Optics & Low-Light Performance
Bright f/2 Aperture: The fast maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and provides beautiful subject separation. Paired with a rounded seven-blade diaphragm, it produces a soft, pleasing bokeh that enhances the cinematic feel of your images.
Sharp, Accurate Rendering: The optical formula consists of seven elements in six groups, including three aspherical elements. This advanced design suppresses spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring tack-sharp results across the entire frame.
Versatile Close-Up Capability: With an 11.8″ minimum focusing distance, this lens allows you to get moderately close to your subjects, making it perfect for detail shots, food photography, and intimate portraits.
Optimized for Video Creators
Suppressed Focus Breathing: Designed with videographers in mind, the lens significantly reduces focus breathing, ensuring your composition remains stable when shifting focus between subjects.
Micro-Step Aperture Control: Experience smooth, seamless exposure transitions during video recording thanks to a specialized aperture control system that eliminates the “stepping” effect found in traditional lenses.
Intelligent Crop Zoom: Harnessing the power of the L-Mount system, the Crop Zoom functionality can increase your effective telephoto reach by up to 2x while maintaining impressive image quality.
Built for the Elements
Weather-Resistant Construction: The lens features a robust dust-, splash-, and freeze-resistant design, allowing you to keep shooting with confidence in inclement weather or harsh environments.
Compact & Lightweight: Its sleek profile is perfectly balanced for modern mirrorless bodies, making it an excellent choice for gimbal work or long days of handheld shooting.
Fast, Silent AF: Engineered for speed and discretion, the autofocus system is quick enough for action and quiet enough for sensitive audio recording.
