This standard prime lens packs the high image quality and beautiful bokeh of the G Lens into a compact design with superb build quality and intuitive operability. Easily carried anywhere and anytime, it's ideal for snap-shooting both portraits and views around town. The fast, precise and quiet AF is ideal for shooting both stills and movies, ensuring capture of those vital moments. This is one of our G Lens primes (sold separately), offering different focal lengths but the same external look, 49-mm filter diameter, compact design, and layout. They're compact enough to carry all three, so you're ready for great shots across a range of scenes and subjects, and the similar weight even makes gimbal rebalancing easy. The metal (aluminium) finish of the lens body and hood, plus the engraved focal length and aperture markings, emphasise a superb build quality. The ultra-compact lightweight design, the high image quality of the G Lens, the aperture ring and Linear Response MF deliver intuitive operability that makes shooting a pleasure. High image quality is realised by state-of-the-art optics using three aspherical elements, delivering high resolution in all parts of the image. The aspherical elements compensate for various aberrations, delivering high-resolution performance from corner to corner of the image, even from the widest aperture with shallow depth of field. A 7-blade circular aperture is provided, with precise control of the spherical aberration that affects bokeh delivering the beautiful natural bokeh of the G Lens. Two linear motors deliver fast, precise AF with superb tracking performance that maximises camera body performance to capture vital moments in street snaps and the like. The fast, precise and quiet AF with superb tracking performance is ideal for shooting movies as well as stills. A minimum focus distance of 28 cm (0.92 ft) (AF) / 25 cm (0.82 ft) (MF) provides excellent close-up performance. The lens is useful in many situations, like shooting close-ups of flowers or small objects you find around town with a blurred background that makes the subject stand out.
