Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

The S-series large-aperture standard single focal length lenses can be enjoyed in a wide range of shooting situations, from snapshots to portraits with beautiful bokeh effects.

- Combining a wide range of expressive power with outstanding descriptive performance
The S-series large-aperture standard single focal length lenses allow you to easily enjoy a wide range of expressions that only a standard single focal length lens can offer, such as portrait photography with a natural angle of view that takes advantage of bokeh while incorporating the background, lighthearted snapshots that capture the atmosphere of the city, and impressive close-up shots that bring the subject in close.
The consistent performance of the F1.8 series (*1) lenses also means that even if you change lenses, there is little difference in the rendering of each photo or shot, resulting in a consistent rendering throughout the entire image to produce a high-quality work of art. The large-aperture F1.8 lens produces a soft and beautiful bokeh effect, and the beautiful ball bokeh effect with minimal aperture eclipse in nighttime snaps is a step up in expressiveness.
The 8-group, 9-element lens construction features three aspherical lens elements that suppress spherical aberration, distortion, and other aberrations to achieve high resolution performance.

- Silent performance and other video performance ideal for video production
The use of linear motors enables both high-speed, high-precision AF performance and quiet AF operation. During movie recording, the quiet drive allows shooting without worrying about focus drive noise, shortening the time required for post-production. The camera's aperture micro-step control enables smooth exposure changes when panning in scenes with large brightness changes by precisely controlling the aperture value. The focus ring rotation angle can be changed when linear is selected by selecting it on the camera body. By adjusting the amount of focus drive according to the rotation angle, intuitive and detailed focusing like that of a cinema lens can be achieved, allowing photographers to capture images in accordance with their creative intentions.

- Size and operability common to the F1.8 series (*1)
The F1.8 single focal length series (*1), with a uniform size and nearly the same center of gravity balance, reduces the burden of balance adjustment when changing lenses when using gimbals or drones, and enables smooth operation even when shooting with limited time. This enables smooth operation even in time-limited shooting. In addition, the series' common size provides uniform operability in terms of holding, focus ring position and torque, filter diameter, etc., and its dust-proof, drip-proof (*2), and low-temperature resistant specifications enable shooting regardless of weather conditions, etc., supporting a wide range of shooting scenes.

*1: 24mm and 35mm will be released in the future. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
