Superior image quality
One SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element is used for effective compensation of chromatic aberration. The molded glass aspherical lens element provides excellent correction of spherical aberration and sagittal coma flare. This minimises distortion and ensures high image quality.

Super Multi-Layer Coating
The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, even when taking pictures against the light, and ensures high contrast images throughout the focusing range.

Superior peripheral brightness
The design of the large aperture provides superior performance, increasing peripheral brightness and enabling a bright viewfinder image.

Rounded diaphragm
This lens has a rounded 9 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out of focus area of the image.

High speed and quiet AF
The lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF as well as full time manual focus capability.

Dedicated Hood Adapter HA850-02 (Supplied)
A Petal-type-Hood which prevents extraneous light from degrading the image quality is supplied as standard. A Hood adapter extends the length of the lens hood and provides more effective shading when used with digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor.
* When using the APS-C Hood Adapter HA850-02 with digital cameras with larger than APS-C size image sensor, vignetting will occur. Please remove he hood adapter id you are using these cameras.
