Enfocament:

This lens features a manual focus ring. Rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus on your subject. The lens also incorporates the Quick-Shift Focus System, allowing you to switch instantly from autofocus to manual focus by simply turning the focus ring after the camera has achieved focus, without needing to change the camera's focus mode.

Control de l'obertura:

The lens has a maximum aperture of f/2.8, which allows for good low-light performance and shallow depth of field. The 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing background blur (bokeh). Aperture settings are controlled via the camera body.

Using the Lens Hood:

The included lens hood helps to prevent stray light from entering the lens, reducing flare and ghosting, and improving image contrast. Attach the lens hood by aligning it with the front of the lens and twisting until it locks into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.
