With a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light environments while producing stunning shallow depth of field and smooth subject separation.
Advanced Optical Design for Superior Sharpness and Bokeh
The second-generation optical formula has been completely redesigned to deliver greater resolution, clarity, and color accuracy than its predecessor.
Four aspherical elements for reduced distortion and edge-to-edge sharpness
Two SLD elements to minimize chromatic aberration
Enhanced spherical aberration control for improved contrast
11-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth, circular bokeh highlights
The result is crisp detail, accurate color rendering, and clean, natural background blur.
A newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating) significantly reduces flare, ghosting, and reflections, ensuring excellent contrast and color fidelity even in challenging lighting conditions.
