Manufacturer description

Excellent results in term of sharpness, bokeh, background blur smoothness and color rendition in video
Nice rendering for portraits, low CA.
AF is fast and silent ,suitable for most of the shooting scenarios.
Focus breathing is mild.
Double-sided multilayer coating, 1 ED lens, 1 high refraction lens, effectively control CA, ghosting, flare.
The closest focusing distance reaches 0.63m, and the ability to take macro shots is just as impressive.
With 9 aperture blades for a softer bokeh effect and the shallow depth of field, it makes the background more defocused to highlight the subject when shooting portraits, and at the same time, the shutter speed can be increased accordingly to freeze the moment under the same parameters.

From the editor

For some reason, the manufacturer was embarrassed to indicate in the description that the lens has a protective gasket around the mount. It is designed to keep out dust and moisture when the lens is fitted to the camera body.
