It delivers excellent sharpness, high contrast and natural colour reproduction even at full aperture.

The 7 aperture blades are circular, which helps to create excellent bokeh. The lens body is compact and solid as it is made from high-strength aluminium. The removable petal-shaped lens hood minimises flare and ghosting.
