• Advanced optics for refined movies with minimal breathing: State-of-the-art lens technology packed into this remarkable large-aperture ultra-wide lens reduces unwanted focus breathing and angle of view shifts when focusing.
• Consistent balance and center of gravity for easy handling: Thanks to a refined internal focus mechanism, the lens’s length remains constant while focusing for ideal balance and handling.
• Natural, repeatable linear manual focus response: For professional manual focusing feel and repeatable response, Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle manual control.
• Dust and moisture resistant for robust reliability: Dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion
• Aspherical and ED glass lens elements suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations: This compact lens includes 3 aspherical and 3 ED glass elements that ensure corner-to-corner resolution and well controlled chromatic aberration throughout the image area achieving natural color without color bleeding
• Focus hold button can be customized for various functions: A customizable focus hold button is provided for easy access and convenient control in just about any shooting situation. Other functions can be assigned to the focus hold button from compatible camera’s menu.
