Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

F1.8 series large-aperture wide-angle single focal length lenses that provide natural perspective and high-quality images, making it easy to enjoy everything from snapshots to portraits

- Wide-angle expression with natural perspective and excellent descriptive performance
The 35mm focal length has an angle of view close to the human field of view, making it easy to enjoy shooting a wide range of scenes, from snapshots that take advantage of a natural perspective with a well-balanced background to portraits that bring out natural expressions while maintaining an appropriate sense of distance from the subject. Furthermore, the F1.8 maximum aperture not only produces out-of-focus expressions in close-up photography, but also supports shooting in low-light environments. The consistent imaging performance throughout the entire F1.8 series ensures that there is little variation from photo to photo or cut to cut, even when changing lenses, and the consistent imaging results in high quality work.

- High-performance lens composed of 3 aspherical lens elements and 3 ED lens elements to suppress spherical aberration
The optical design consists of 11 elements in 9 groups, with 3 aspherical lens elements to suppress spherical aberration and 3 ED lens elements optimally positioned to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in excellent sharpness throughout the entire shooting range.

- High-speed, high-precision focusing
The focusing of this lens consists of a frame that holds the focus lens and is driven by a linear motor along a guide axis. This configuration enables both high-speed, high-precision AF performance and quiet AF operation performance. In addition, the communication control between the body and the lens has also been speeded up to achieve both accuracy and speed.
The quiet operation of the AF system also allows for the capture of moving images without worrying about the noise of the focus movement, thereby shortening the time required for post-production.

- Compact and lightweight, yet offering excellent expressive power and operability in photography and video performance
The S-series lenses are compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry despite their large apertures. This allows users to concentrate on shooting without feeling the weight of the equipment. The lens also offers excellent descriptive performance in a wide variety of scenes, including night photography using a bright F value, portraiture, snapshots, and landscapes.

- F1.8 Single Focal Length Series" with Unified Descriptive Performance, Size, and Operability
The F1.8 single focal length series unifies various specifications and operability to reduce the burden of lens replacement, allowing users to concentrate more on shooting.
By unifying the descriptive performance of the F1.8 single focal length series, there is little difference in the descriptive performance of each cut, even when changing lenses, and the entire image is consistent, resulting in a high-quality work of art.
The common size of the lenses prevents them from interfering with other equipment on the rig when changing lenses, and the specifications that nearly align the center of gravity minimize the need for balance adjustment when changing lenses, even when shooting video using gimbals or drones, thereby contributing to reducing the burden on the shooting site. In addition, the unified layout of switches and focus rings makes it possible to smoothly start shooting after changing lenses, and the common filter diameter eliminates the need to carry multiple filters with the same effect.

- S-series lenses for high-definition 4K video production
Optical design for high-definition video recording and optimization of the lens barrel's internal structure suppresses breathing, which causes the angle of view to change as the focus position shifts during video recording.
In addition, even in scenes with large luminance changes, aperture micro-step control prevents abrupt exposure changes by smoothly controlling f-number changes. It also supports stable exposure control when panning during movie recording.
The focus ring can be switched between linear and non-linear settings. In the non-linear system, the focus ring moves by a variable amount in response to the rotation speed of the focus ring operation, enabling agile focus adjustment. In the linear system, the focus is shifted by a fixed amount of movement in relation to the rotation speed of the focus ring, and the rotation speed can be set according to the shooting scene, enabling intuitive and precise mechanical-like focusing in accordance with the photographer's intentions during movie shooting.

- Compact and lightweight, protecting the lens even in harsh shooting environments
Compact and lightweight, the lens is dustproof and drip-proof* for a wide range of shooting situations, allowing for highly mobile shooting. It allows you to capture those rare shutter opportunities that come along unexpectedly, regardless of weather conditions or other environmental factors. The lens is also protected from water droplets and dust.
