This medium telephoto lens is ideal for portraits. With a focal length equivalent to 87mm in the 35mm format, it achieves a brightness of F2.0 when used wide open to deliver beautiful bokeh. The high resolving power of the area in focus, and the rich bokeh unique to medium format fast diameter lenses, depicts portraits with a realistic three dimensional feel.
Complete with four ED lens elements, this high image quality lens limits chromatic aberrations by arranging the elements in a well-balanced manner before and after the aperture. By adopting an inner focusing AF system for the optimal configuration, aberration fluctuations due to changes in shooting distance are suppressed.
With the lens construction comprising 14 elements in nine groups - including four ED lens elements - spherical aberrations and chromatic aberrations are suppressed. Nine rounded aperture blades create a beautiful bokeh at the front and back, enabling the rich expression of out of focus areas that are unique to medium format lenses.
