Its f/0.95 aperture produces extremely shallow depth of field for isolating subjects, while an 11-element optical design with two ED lenses keeps images sharp and controls color fringing.
A compact, all-metal body weighing just 448g and a precise clicked aperture ring offer tactile manual control, with a versatile 35mm focal length (50mm-equivalent) suited for portraits and street work.
Portrait shooters chasing dramatic bokeh on a budget will value its 72.4 portrait score, but a 23.9 landscape rating means it’s best kept for close subjects, not distant scenes.
