About this item

• STUNNING F1.4 RESOLUTION IN A PRIME LENS – Unsparing application of leading-edge technology achieves refined G Master performance with consistently high resolution and soft, natural bokeh even at the widest F1.4 aperture setting.
• EXCELLENT CORNOR TO CORNOR RESOLUTION – Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements in an optical design that meets stringent G Master requirements contribute to consistently high resolution throughout the image area.
• ED GLASS ELEMENT CONTROL COLOUR ABERRATION – Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements are carefully incorporated in the lens’s optical path to minimize axial and lateral chromatic aberration, maintaining optimum sharpness throughout the image.
• COMPACT AND LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN – A new optical design that reduces overall lens diameter by employing two XA elements, one for the front lens, combines with a newly developed DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) focus drive system to achieve a remarkably light total weight of just 445 grams (15.7 oz.).
• NANO AR COATING ENHANCES FLARE RESISTANT – Our original Nano AR Coating technology provides an effective solution, suppressing internal reflections that can lead to flare and ghosting so that optimum contrast and clarity are achieved in the widest possible range of shooting conditions.
• STATE OF THE ART OPTICAL DESIGNFAITHFULLY REPORDUCES POINT SOURCE – State-of-the-art optical design incorporating two precision XA elements suppresses sagittal flare, a common aberration in large-aperture lenses.
