By utilizing the latest optical technologies while maximizing the high flexibility in lens design, superior optical performance is realized with a light, compact body.
The multi-focusing system delivers an extremely sharp focal plane across the entire shooting range, including close distances, while contributing to highly accurate, high-speed AF.
The large bokeh effect that the f/2.8 maximum aperture provides, as well as the natural, beautiful bokeh characteristics with minimum coloring, let you bring impressive emphasis to main subjects.
Genuine movie recording performance is achieved by intensive consideration even of details such as focus breathing compensation and minimized operational sound.
The newly developed ARNEO Coat anti-reflection coating system that is particularly effective for incident light from a vertical direction is incorporated in this lens. Utilized with Nano Crystal Coat, sharp and clear images with minimal ghost and flare effects can be reliably captured even when a light source is located within the frame .
Dedicated focus ring is adopted independently of the control ring for comfortable manual focus operation.
Lens body is designed carefully considering dust- and drip-resistant performance for enhanced reliability.
Nikon's original fluorine coat is applied to the front and rear lens elements, ensuring superb antifouling performance.
Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides accurate, stable aperture control even during high-speed continuous shooting.
