The wide aperture lens is compatible with the APS-C format and has an aperture setting from F16 to a fantastic F0.95. The design allows you to create great movies. Furthermore, the fixed focal length is suitable for portraits, street photography, landscapes and reportage. The optical design consists of seven elements in five groups, including two HOYA ultra-low dispersion elements. These optimize contrast and color reproduction in various lighting conditions. The maximum aperture of F0.95 allows for beautiful shots even in dark or low-light conditions. You also have maximum control over the depth of field. To ensure that you enjoy your lens for a long time, the fixed focal length is made of robust metal. The multi-coating on the front glass reduces flare and ghosting, further optimising the image. This lens has a fixed focal length, which cannot be changed. Fixed focal lengths offer high speed, allowing you to shoot good images even in less than optimal lighting conditions. They are particularly suitable when you want to capture specific and characteristic image details. Thanks to the large possible aperture, a shallower depth of field can be produced. In this way, you can optimally expose subjects from the background with the targeted use of sharpness and blur. This lens can only be focused manually. Although manual focusing takes longer and is more demanding than working with autofocus, it does offer some advantages: It allows you to focus on exactly the point you want, enabling you to take shots that are exactly what you want. Even in situations where autofocus would quickly become overwhelmed - for example, in low light, smooth surfaces with little texture, or in foggy weather - you'll prefer to focus manually.
