Unrivalled f/1.2 Aperture
The standout feature is its f/1.2 maximum aperture, offering the shallowest depth of field possible in the E-mount system and incredible low-light performance, creating a highly cinematic and distinctive look.
Exceptional Bokeh
Thanks to its large aperture, 11-blade circular diaphragm, and advanced optical design (including XA elements), the bokeh produced is extraordinarily smooth and beautiful, with minimal distractions.
Razor-Sharp Wide Open
Despite the extremely wide aperture, this lens delivers outstanding sharpness even at f/1.2, ensuring that your subject’s eyes or key details are tack-sharp against the beautifully blurred background.
Blazing Fast & Silent AF
The quadruple XD Linear Motors make autofocus incredibly quick and accurate, and virtually silent, which is crucial for video production where precise and unobtrusive focusing is paramount.
Cinematic Potential
While it exhibits some focus breathing (a common trade-off with such fast primes), its unparalleled combination of sharpness, speed, and bokeh makes it a top choice for filmmakers aiming for a premium, artistic, and dreamy aesthetic in their projects.
