Product Description
A fast, versatile prime for all occasions
Offering outstanding image quality even at its maximum F1.8 aperture, this
compact, lightweight 35mm prime lens for full-frame cameras is a versatile
choice for everything from tabletop photography to the great outdoors. Fast,
precise, quiet AF operation and reliable AF tracking make it suitable for
shooting videos as well as stills.
Compact and lightweight with full-frame coverage
Thanks to innovative optical design, this large-aperture lens weighs a mere
280g (9.9oz.) and is just 65.6mm in diameter by 73mm in length. That convenience
and mobility come with superb image quality that makes it a great all-around
choice for stills and movies. It is a full-frame lens, but also balances well
with APS-C bodies, providing an equivalent focal length of 52.5mm that is ideal
for portraits and snapshots.
High corner-to-corner resolution from the widest aperture
An aspherical element is strategically implemented in this lenss advanced
design to suppress optical aberration and achieve high resolution right out to
the image periphery. Smooth bokeh is also available when needed, supported by a
9-blade circular aperture mechanism that contributes to natural looking
highlights. 0.22m (0.73ft.) minimum focus distance and 0.24x maximum
magnification make this lens useful for closeups too.
Versatile and reliable for a range of shooting situations
A conveniently placed focus hold button not only offers easy focus hold
control, but can be assigned to a variety of other functions from a menu
accessed via the camera body. The lens also features a focus mode switch that
allows instant switching between auto and manual focus. A dust and moisture
resistant design ensures maximum reliability in challenging shooting
environments.
Quiet, reliable AF tracking for movies as well as stills
The narrow depth of field available at a wide F1.8 aperture makes focus
critical. The fast response and high precision of this lens's linear-motor AF
drive system ensure fast, precise, quiet autofocus operation. Outstanding AF
performance is available not only for stills, but also for movies where
"wobbling" is employed for delicate continuous focus control. |
