Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture affords a great deal of control over depth of field for isolating subjects and using selective focus, and also benefits working in low-light conditions.
Two aspherical elements help to minimize distortion and spherical aberrations for greater sharpness and accurate subject rendering.
Two low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve greater color accuracy and clarity.
Individual glass elements feature a multi-layer coating to resist flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
A DC motor is used for quick and accurate autofocus performance, and a dedicated switch lets you quickly change from AF to MF control. A focus distance scale is also featured to aid with pre-focusing techniques.
Chrome-plated metal lens mount is durable and accurate for a secure fit with the camera body, and gold-plated contacts help to ensure consistent communication between the lens and camera.
