The best of both worlds

Stunning visuals and depth of field

  • Maximum aperture of f/1.2 delivers extraordinary brightness and depth of field for any occasion, from indoor shoots to astral photography
  • Three XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements to 0.01-micron surface precision achieve stunning G Master resolution and smooth, creamy bokeh in out-of-focus areas
  • XA elements compensate for coma, field curvature, and astigmatism, and enable closer focusing distance
  • 11-blade circular aperture contributes to beautiful, natural-looking bokeh
  • Nano AR Coating II helps suppress reflections, lens flare, and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery

Extremely precise focus control

  • Linear response MF gives you precise manual focus control and ensures extreme responsiveness to subtle controls
  • Focus ring rotation translates directly to a change in focus, giving you immediate, precise control for both stills and movies
  • 0.4m (15.75") minimum focusing distance with up to 0.17x magnification lets you shoot spectacular close-up shots
  • Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors deliver fast, precise autofocus in near-silence to keep up with the most advanced camera bodies
  • Aperture ring features switchable on/off click stops for tactile feedback when shooting stills or silent control while shooting movies and events
  • Instant auto/manual focus selection via the AF/MF switch makes operation faster and easier
  • Two programmable focus hold buttons allow for multiple custom functions, including Focus Hold, Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview, or Bright Monitoring

Perfect for content creators

  • Great for moviemaking, with a 50mm angle of view on full-frame bodies and 75mm on APC-C bodies or Super 35mm cameras
  • Internal focus is convenient to use on compact gimbals or grips for vlogging, livestreaming, and more
  • Allows for a variety of 72mm filters, including circular polarizing filters, other polarizers, ND filters, and more
