Excellent imaging performance and high-quality bokeh. Enjoy the wide range of expression possible with a standard prime lens, from portraits with a natural angle of view that captures the background while making the most of bokeh, to casual snapshots that capture the atmosphere of the city, to impressive close-up shots. Furthermore, by standardizing imaging performance across the entire F1.8 series, there is minimal variation in image quality between shots, even when changing lenses, resulting in consistent, high-quality images. The large F1.8 aperture delivers soft, beautiful bokeh, and even nightscape snapshots are enhanced with beautiful circular bokeh that minimizes vignetting. Achieve high-speed, high-precision focusing. This lens's focus is driven by a linear motor along a guide axis, using a frame that holds the focusing lens. This configuration combines high-speed, high-precision AF performance with quiet AF operation. Furthermore, by speeding up communication control between the body and lens, both precision and speed are achieved. Furthermore, during video recording, the quiet drive allows you to shoot without worrying about the focus drive noise, shortening post-production time. Compact and lightweight, this S-series lens delivers outstanding expressive power and high operability in both photography and video. This large-aperture S-series lens is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry. You can concentrate on shooting without feeling the weight of your equipment. Furthermore, the bright F-number delivers excellent imaging performance in a variety of scenes, from nightscapes to portraits, snapshots, and landscapes. This S-series lens enables high-resolution 4K video production. The optical design, optimized for high-definition video recording, and an optimized internal lens barrel structure suppress breathing, which changes the angle of view as the focus point moves during video recording. Furthermore, even in scenes with large changes in brightness, aperture micro-step control smoothly controls f-stop changes, suppressing sudden exposure changes. It also supports stable exposure control when panning during video recording. The focus ring can be switched between linear and non-linear settings. With the non-linear method, the focus shifts by a variable amount in response to the rotation speed of the focus ring, enabling agile focusing. With the linear method, the focus shifts by a fixed amount in response to the rotation of the focus ring. Furthermore, the rotation amount can be adjusted according to the shooting scene, enabling intuitive and precise focusing similar to mechanical focusing when shooting video.
Compact and lightweight, protecting the lens even in harsh shooting environments. The compact and lightweight design allows for mobility in a wide range of scenes with its dust- and splash-proof design*, enabling mobile shooting. You can capture those rare shutter opportunities that suddenly appear, regardless of the weather or other environmental factors. It also protects your precious lens from water droplets and dust.
Low-temperature resistance down to -10°C. The lens is designed to withstand temperatures down to -10°C, allowing you to shoot in cold environments such as snowy mountains and ski slopes. You can also capture the beautiful and fantastical world of snow and ice as new works of art.
The compact, lightweight body fits comfortably in your hand, with a robust, high-quality design that inspires you to take photographs.The compact, lightweight body fits comfortably in your hand like a familiar tool.Graphic lines express the path of light from the lens to the viewfinder, vertical slit knurling balances operability and design, and the "S" mark makes a subtle statement despite its compactness and light weight.The glossy black body, common to the S series, brings joy to ownership, and the mobility and robustness expand the scope of your photography, broadening the scope of your expression.
