Aside from providing high lens performance, this compact motor design reduces the overall size and allows for class-leading mobility.
Macro Design
A 1:1 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 8" is available for working with close-up subjects. The featured 9-bladed circular diaphragm creates flattering, round bokeh.
