  • Moisture-Resistant Construction for outdoor shooting.
  • Compact size and lighter weight.
  • Delicate bokeh: By stopping down the aperture, you can alter how images are rendered. The lens also incorporates a nine-bladed aperture that produces beautifully round defocused light points.

One can guess that for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the tallest lens in the line up is a fast, super telephoto zoom for fast-moving subjects from a distance, such as motor sport and wildlife photography. Maybe, another wide-angle lens will have a lower f/stop – larger aperture – less depth of field, in comparison to the above lenses, for nighttime shooting and astrophotography.
