Rendering performance that overturns the perception of what a 35 mm f/1.8 lens can do. Sharp resolution even in the peripheral areas of the frame from the maximum aperture, provide effective suppression of sagittal coma flare that enables superb point-image reproduction when capturing point light sources in night landscapes, and the soft and natural bokeh characteristics expected of a fast (bright) lens. Adoption of a new multi-focusing system achieves quiet, fast, and accurate AF control, as well as high image-forming performance at any focus distance. Adoption of two ED glass, and three aspherical lens elements. Nano Crystal Coat adopted to suppress ghost and flare. In consideration to a dust- and drip-resistance, the entire lens, including moving parts, has been sealed.
