When used with full-frame image sensors, this lens' wide-angle perspective is well-suited to use in a broad array of conditions
When used with APS-C-sized sensors, this 56mm equivalent standard prime lens provides a similar field of view to normal vision
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over focus placement for shallow depth of field applications
Two high refractive index elements and one aspherical element reduce chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater sharpness and clarity
UMC coating improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images
