From the Big Picture to Close-Up Details at 0.4 m

The minimum focusing distance of 0.4 m allows you to capture not only expansive scenes but also close-up details. The floating lens group helps maintain image sharpness across the entire focusing range, from infinity to the closest focusing distance.

A tactile resistance point at 0.7 m indicates that, at shorter distances, it is advisable to switch from rangefinder focusing to checking focus via the EVF or live view.

A Fast Aperture for Images with Depth

The f/1.4 aperture aids in low-light shooting and allows you to separate the subject from the background. Fourteen aperture blades create rounded highlights, smooth transitions outside the plane of focus, and pronounced starburst effects when the aperture is stopped down.

The aperture ring can be switched between stepped and smooth operation, making the lens suitable for both precisely repeatable photographic settings and smooth exposure changes during video recording.

Eleven Elements, Precise Correction

The optical system consists of 11 elements in 7 groups. One aspherical element, one ED element, and three HRI elements correct spherical and chromatic aberrations, help maintain contrast, and ensure uniform sharpness within the compact body.

The anodized aluminum construction, depth-of-field scale, and classic red index mark facilitate quick work with hyperfocal distance in street photography.
