About this product

This lens features a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, making it an excellent choice for low-light photography and creating beautiful, soft background blur for portraits. The integrated stepping motor (STM) provides smooth and near-silent autofocus, which is particularly beneficial when recording videos or capturing candid moments.

The optical construction includes 6 elements in 5 groups, delivering sharp images across the frame. Whether you are using a full-frame camera or an APS-C sensor, where it functions as an 80mm equivalent, this compact and lightweight lens is a staple for both professional photographers and hobbyists.
