Exceptional Optical Design: Inspired by the ZEISS Sonnar optical concept, this lens uses a sophisticated seven-element design in five groups to achieve outstanding image clarity. The fast f/1.8 aperture allows for excellent depth of field control and effortless shooting in low-light conditions, while three aspherical elements, including two double-sided, effectively minimize distortions such as astigmatism and field curvature.
Enhanced Coatings for Superior Image Quality: ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating on each lens surface reduces glare and reflections, resulting in enhanced contrast, vivid color reproduction, and exceptional image clarity. This lens is particularly well-suited for portrait photography, offering a smooth and natural bokeh effect, thanks to its rounded nine-blade diaphragm.
Fast and Quiet Autofocus: The linear autofocus motor ensures quick, precise, and virtually silent focusing, making it a great choice for both still photography and video recording. The internal focusing design also ensures the lens remains compact and lightweight during operation.
Rugged and Reliable: Built to withstand the elements, the dust- and moisture-resistant construction of the lens allows for reliable performance in challenging weather conditions. Rubberized control rings make handling easier, even in cold environments, ensuring comfort and control during extended shooting sessions.
