This lens offers exceptional image quality with its sophisticated optical design, including an aspherical element that minimizes distortions for sharp, clear photos. Its bright f/2 aperture allows for excellent performance in low-light situations, while the compact manual focus design makes it a perfect everyday companion for M shooters. The 11-blade diaphragm ensures smooth bokeh, and the 39mm filter thread allows for easy customization with additional filters.
Comprised of seven elements in five groups, and incorporating a single aspherical element, this lens eliminates nearly all distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the focusing range. This design also contributes to a high degree of sharpness, contrast, and clarity, and the f/2 maximum aperture enables working in difficult lighting conditions with ease. Additionally, an 11-blade aperture contributes to smooth out-of-focus rendering when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. Despite its wide-angle focal length and fast maximum aperture, this manual focus lens still remains relatively compact to benefit its use as an everyday, go-to lens for M shooters.
One aspherical element is featured in the optical design to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for increased sharpness and clarity.
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 2.3' with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:17.5.
The front of the lens has 39mm-diameter threads to accept optional filters and the lens is male threaded to accept the included lens hood.
