Superior rendering capability that overturns the perception
of an f/1.8 lens
Higher optical performance very dierent from conventional f/1.8 lenses is
realized through the following four factors: 1) resolving power compatible
with high-megapixel digital cameras that enables reproduction of even
minute texture, 2) superb point-image reproduction when capturing point light
sources in night landscapes, 3) soft and natural bokeh characteristics, and
4) reduced axial chromatic aberration for minimal color fringing. Specifically,
regarding resolution, thanks to the adoption of a multi-focusing system, high
imaging performance is provided at any focus distance. Even minute details
of distant scenery are sharply reproduced, while in close-range portraits, it
is possible to emphasize the subject by rendering the eyes in sharp focus
against a softly blurred background. Also, Nano Crystal Coat that eectively
reduces ghost and flare is employed to ensure clear, sharp reproduction even
for backlit situations. While achieving higher optical performance, compact
design is also attained for superb portability.
Quiet, high-speed and highly accurate AF
With the adoption of the multi-focusing system, higher standards of lens
design principles, and more detailed lens information with high-speed,
large-capacity communication between the camera and lens, outstandingly
accurate AF control is attained for both still and movie shooting. The multi-
focusing system is a new AF drive system that also contributes to enhancing
optical performance. Via the combination of AF drive units within the
lens body, the position of the lens focus groups is precisely controlled. By
drastically reducing aberrations, superb imaging performance is delivered
across the entire shooting range including close distances. Furthermore,
extremely accurate and high-speed AF control is also realized. A new,
powerful stepping motor (STM) that enables highly precise lens stopping
control is employed for further improved focusing accuracy. Utilizing a
stepping motor also results in an outstandingly quiet AF drive mechanism.
Highly convenient features and superior operability
A control ring is newly adopted to which functions such as focus (M/A),
aperture and exposure compensation can be assigned. The ring enables
comfortable shooting with its superior operational feel. It also works as the
focus ring when manual focus mode is selected.
