G Master Resolution and Bokeh

Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements effectively minimize aberrations and distortions, resulting in exceptional resolution and sharpness.
One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element eliminates chromatic aberration and color fringing, delivering outstanding clarity and color accuracy.
Nano AR Coating II is applied to specific elements to significantly reduce reflective light, minimizing ghosting and flare while enhancing contrast and color accuracy in challenging lighting conditions.
The wide f/1.4 maximum aperture creates a beautifully shallow depth of field, perfect for achieving pleasing background blur using selective focus techniques.
With its circular 11-blade aperture, this lens produces mesmerizing bokeh, particularly ideal for portrait photography.
Beyond depth of field control and stunning bokeh, the f/1.4 aperture enables handheld shooting in low-light situations, ensuring versatility in various environments.

High-Performance Autofocus

Taking advantage of the latest camera technologies, two XD Linear Motors deliver swift, silent, and precise autofocus performance, ensuring accurate subject tracking. This design optimizes control for both stills and videos, while also providing a seamless and natural manual focus experience when desired. The AF/MF switch, conveniently located on the lens barrel, offers tactile control over autofocus and manual focus settings.
The internal focusing design enhances the lens’s focusing performance, delivering a more responsive experience and maintaining a consistent overall lens length during operation.
With a minimum autofocusing distance of 16″, this lens allows for dynamic close-up photography, capturing intricate details with ease.

Controls and Functions

An iris lock switch, a new addition to Sony primes, prevents accidental movement of the aperture ring. When unlocked, the aperture ring rotates smoothly and silently, providing seamless aperture control.
Designed with video applications in mind, the aperture ring features clear f-stop engraving and can be easily de-clicked on the lens barrel, enabling smooth and silent aperture adjustments.
Two focus hold buttons on the lens barrel provide intuitive control and quick access to selected settings, enhancing operational efficiency.
Featuring a tactile design, the Linear Response manual focus ring offers precise and linear focus control, ensuring a seamless manual focusing experience.
