High corner-to-corner resolution from the widest aperture

An aspherical element is strategically implemented in this lens's advanced design to suppress optical aberration and achieve high resolution out to the image periphery. Smooth bokeh is also available when needed, supported by a nine-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to natural looking highlights. 0.22-m (0.73-ft) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum magnification make this lens useful for close-ups too.

Quiet, reliable AF tracking for movies as well as stills

The narrow depth of field available at a wide F1.8 aperture makes focus critical. The fast response and high precision of the lens's linear-motor AF drive system ensure fast, precise, quiet auto focus operation. Outstanding AF performance is available not only for stills, but also for movies where "wobbling" is employed for delicate continuous focus control.
