Ultra-Fast Aperture and Elite Optics
Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: This ultra-fast aperture excels in low-light environments and provides exceptional control over depth of field, allowing for dramatic subject isolation with a wide-angle perspective.

Advanced Dispersion Glass: The optical layout features two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and three FLD (F Low Dispersion) elements. This combination aggressively corrects color fringing and chromatic aberrations for remarkable clarity and color accuracy.

Precision Sharpness: Two aspherical elements minimize distortion and spherical aberrations, ensuring your images remain sharp and accurately rendered from the center to the corners.

Super Multi-Layer Coating: Applied to suppress flare and ghosting, this coating ensures high-contrast, color-neutral imagery even when shooting in challenging backlit conditions.

Smooth Performance for Stills and Video
Stepping AF Motor: Engineered for both photographers and videographers, the stepping motor provides rapid, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance.

Smooth Bokeh: A rounded nine-blade diaphragm creates a soft and pleasing background blur, enhancing the cinematic quality of your shots.

Rugged Bayonet Mount: Constructed from durable brass for long-lasting accuracy. The mount also features a rubber seal, making the lens dust- and splash-resistant for reliable use in the field.

Condition Note
Optical Status: This lens is in excellent functional condition. Please note there is one small hair visible inside the lens elements. This is a cosmetic internal factor and does not appear in images, nor does it affect the optical resolution or performance of the lens.
