Beautiful bokeh enhances portraits

This lens is designed with spherical aberration carefully optimized, ensuring you get the best possible balance between razor sharp resolution and gorgeous yet natural bokeh.

With a 9-blade circular aperture, this lens contributes sweet bokeh highlights making it an ideal choice when it comes to capturing people and replicating professional studio shoots.

Mobile and manageable for active shooting

The lens’ 371-gram weight is lightweight enough to easily carry while out at events or on a family outing and small enough that it won’t get in the way of your day-to-day activities.

Quiet, precise focus drive

This professional-grade lens provides exceptional image quality at any distance and has only the most cutting-edge features under the hood. The double linear motor actuator system directly drives this lens's focus mechanism, giving you accuracy and quiet operation that's ideal for video work as well as selfies and portrait shots. With a wide f/1.8 maximum aperture, you're able to get beautiful background blur and create striking images even in low light situations.

Quality build, versatile features

Take control of your focus with the focus hold button; you can assign it to different functions such as Eye AF to target specific elements with pinpoint accuracy. The wide and responsive focus ring further enhances manual focusing comfort and precision; it’s incredibly intuitive, making complicated tasks seem like child's play.

Reliable in challenging conditions

A sealed dust- and moisture-resistant design provides extra protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.
