A Rounded 13-Blade Diaphragm contributes to the lens’s ability to produce smooth, circular bokeh. This design element is crucial for photographers who seek aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas, especially in portrait and close-up photography.

The lens also features a De-Clickable Aperture Ring, providing tactile feedback for precise control over exposure settings. This feature is particularly valuable for videographers who need to adjust the aperture silently during recording.

The Super Multilayer Coating applied to the lens elements reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and color fidelity even in backlit conditions. This coating enhances the overall image quality, making it easier to shoot in a variety of lighting scenarios.

For added durability, the lens boasts a Dust- and Splash-Resistant Construction, making it suitable for use in challenging outdoor environments. This robust design ensures that the lens can withstand the elements, providing peace of mind when shooting in less-than-ideal conditions.
