This lens is specially designed for manual focusing coupled precisely with the camera?s optical rangefinder system. Compared with a single lens reflex camera finder, the rangefinder focusing system focuses wide angle lenses with much more precision, enabling the photographer to use the shallow depth of focus offered by the large maximum aperture with peace of mind. The lens couples with the camera?s rangefinder from infinity down to 0.70m (differs depending on the camera) and features a helicoid that enable the lens to focus down to a minimum focus distance of 0.50m. The feature really shows its strengths when shooting using a camera with live view functionality. The included bayonet type rectangular hood is stylish, effective at shielding stray light and can be easily attached to and removed from the lens.

This high performance apochromatic lens reduces axial chromatic aberration to close to zero. Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass is used in 6 out of 8 elements for very high optical performance. The compact design reduces lens length to only 63.3mm.

Vignetting has been kept to a minimum. 12 aperture blades keep the aperture close to a circular shape for beautiful bokeh. The synergistic effect of the long focal length and large F2 aperture produces large background blurring for photographic expression.

Black or Silver finishes are available. A dedicated reversible metal lens hood is included for convenient storage and transportation.
