Detailed features:

Versatile, compact standard lens.

Gauss-type optics, combined with two high refractive index lens elements, allow photographers to work in all conditions and capture sharp images, even at the maximum f/1.4 aperture. The lens is ideal for landscape and travel photography, as well as portraits and photojournalism.

Smooth background blur:

The almost circular aperture creates a soft and even feel in out-of-focus areas. This way, sharp foreground objects stand out against a smoothly blurred background.

Ultrasonic focusing:

The ultrasonic motor provides fast, nearly silent autofocus. The excellent holding torque ensures precise focus without overshooting. Additionally, you can override the automatic system and manually control the focus at any time without switching from AF mode.

Super Spectra coating:

The Super Spectra coating ensures accurate color balance and high contrast. It also reduces flare and ghosting, which are typically caused by light reflecting off the camera's sensor.
