Features/Specifications
Newly adopted HD coating
Adopts a new generation multi-coating that reduces reflectance in the visible light range to less than 50% of conventional multi-coatings. It further reduces the occurrence of flare and ghosting under adverse conditions such as backlight, and achieves clear and high-contrast depictions.
Newly adopted circular aperture
Adopts a circular aperture that can express point light sources such as illuminations and sparkling water surfaces as a soft circular blur.
Wide-angle lens with focal length equivalent to 32mm, suitable for snapshots
Thanks to a newly designed optical system tailored to the characteristics of digital images, it has a thickness of 25 mm and a slim profile of 32 mm even with a hood. The focal length equivalent to 32mm in the 35mm format, combined with the pan focus effect, is perfect for snapshots of everyday life.
High-quality machined aluminum exterior v Everything from the lens barrel to the hood and cap are machined from aluminum. The body has a solid feel and excellent texture.
Delicious depiction unique to limited lensesV Optical system that uses a hybrid aspherical lens and floating mechanism. It demonstrates the beautiful expressive power that only a limited lens can provide, such as high contrast, three-dimensional depiction, and clear images with good visibility.
DA lens for digital single-lens reflex cameras
Designed to match the image circle to the CCD size of 23.5mm x 15.7mm. It is a simple lens that does not have an aperture ring.
Adopts SP coating to protect the lens surface
A special water- and oil-repellent coating is applied to the front of the first lens. It is effective in protecting the lens surface as dirt does not stick to it and is easy to remove.
Seamless AF/MF switching operation
Quick-Shift Focus System. After focusing in AF, turn the focus ring to immediately switch to MF. You can operate smoothly without the hassle of switching operations.
Filters can be attached without changing the overall length of the lens
If you attach a 43mm filter inside the hood, the overall length of the lens will remain the same. You can also attach a 49mm filter to the lens.
*When used on a 35mm film SLR camera, the image will not be tied to the periphery of the screen.
