• Aperture: f/1.8 (maximum), f/22 (minimum), 9-blade circular diaphragm for smooth, creamy bokeh.

• Image Stabilization: None (relies on camera IBIS, e.g., a7C II, a7 III, FX30).

• Autofocus: Double linear motor, fast, quiet, and precise for stills and video.

• Optical Design:9 elements in 8 groups, including one extra-low dispersion (ED) element to reduce chromatic aberration.
  Multi-coating minimizes flare and ghosting.
  

• Minimum Focus Distance: 80cm (31.5 inches).

• Bright f/1.8 aperture excels in low-light and delivers shallow depth of field, ideal for portraits, weddings, and cinematic video.

• Sharp across the frame at f/1.8 with minimal aberrations, well-suited for high-resolution sensors (e.g., a7C II’s 33MP, a7 III’s 24.2MP).

• Fast, silent linear AF motor outperforms the FE 50mm f/1.8’s DC motor, making it reliable for video on FX30 or a7C II.

• Lightweight (371g) and compact for a telephoto prime, balancing well with a7C II (514g) or FX30 (646g).

• Affordable (~$598) for a full-frame telephoto prime, offering near-G Master quality vs. FE 85mm f/1.4
