- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh with smooth focus fall off.
- Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations
- Two XA elements and three aspherical elements significantly control spherical aberrations for a high degree of image sharpness and clarity.
- A nano AR coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions
- Compare the clarity and contrast of the image on the right taken with the nano AR coating versus the image on the left without the nano AR coating.
- Push/Pull AF/MF is easier than trying to find a button or switch while shooting, merely grab the ring and push it forward for AF or pull it back for MF, no need to fumble about or take your eye off the viewfinder to change from AF to MF and back again
- The focus ring provides 120° rotation with fine control, and distance is marked in feet
- The Linear response manual focus and Enhanced Hybrid autofocus offer quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance to suit cine applications
