Despite its versatility, this lens is lightweight, making it an ideal travel companion for those who love to document their journeys. The ultra-fast f/ 1.2 aperture allows for easy subject separation and the creation of a shallow depth of field. This large aperture also facilitates the creation of beautiful bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your images. The 13-blade aperture of this 28mm lens renders creamy and dreamy bokeh at large apertures, enhancing the artistic character of your images. The lens incorporates two ultra-high refractive (UHR) elements and two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, enhancing sharpness and contrast across the entire frame, even at f/ 1.2 wide-open.

The lens is equipped with a 62mm filter thread, allowing for the easy use of ND, CPL, or other screw-in filters. This eliminates the need for a heavy filter holder and allows for wide-open shooting even in bright daylight with the use of an ND filter. This lens is not only optimized for photography but also caters to the needs of videographers. The internal focusing design prevents lens collision and dust ingress, and it accommodates accessories like polarizers. The Aperture Ring Click Switch Mechanism lets you choose between a clicked or silent aperture ring, supporting both your photography and video needs.
