Follow your curiosity

Step back to get more of the view. Move closer to bring out the details—of anything that catches your eye. Superior optics and the f/2.8 rounded 9-blade aperture will put your subject in focus against a smoothly blurred background.

Precise, easy control

Whether outside exploring or at home in your kitchen, this lens makes it easy to delve into macro photography or shoot everyday movie clips. You can control aperture, ISO, and more via the silent control ring, and instantly switch between manual and autofocus via the lens. Near-silent focusing won’t startle any insects or small animals.

Fast

Shooting tiny wonders? Setting the AF focus limit switch to the close-up position lets the lens focus more quickly on subjects within a 0.16–0.30 m range.
