Soft Bokeh and High Image Quality
With a bright aperture of F1.6, it captures subjects sharply even in low-light conditions while creating a beautiful bokeh that gently melts the background. Furthermore, the lens structure of 6 groups and 10 elements, including one ED lens and three ultra-high refractive index lenses, reduces chromatic aberration and achieves high-resolution images from the center to the edges.
Versatile from Everyday to Portraits
The focal length of 80mm (equivalent to 63mm in 35mm format) offers an easy-to-use angle of view for not only portrait photography but also everyday snapshots. Additionally, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.5m, it allows for close-up shots, producing impressive photos with soft background bokeh.
