Versatile, compact standard-lens design
Gaussian optics, combined with two high-refraction lens elements
allow photographers working in all fields to capture crisp, clean
images, even wide open at f/1.4. The lens is ideal for
photographing landscapes and travel scenes as well as portraits and
reportage.
Ultrasonic focusing
A ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near
silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is
reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time
manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus
without leaving AF mode.
Smooth background blur
A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out of focus regions
a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out
against a smooth blurred background.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance
contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting - a common
problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
