And with no changes in brightness during zooming, these lenses enable attractive bokeh (the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light) when employing a shallow depth of field. And with a very low M.O.D. (minimum object distance) of 19.68″ (0.5 m) this lens makes it possible for you to shoot tighter close-ups and assist in shooting in limited space environments. This makes this lens an attractive option for a production that will be shooting in various locations both in the field and on stage.

The lens also is equipped with control rings designed to maintain the proper amount of resistance with consistent operating torque, and a covered flange-back adjustment mechanism to meet numerous production application needs. The 11-blade aperture diaphragm also ensures smooth out-of-focus areas (attractive bokeh), while innovative glass construction counteracts barrel expansion and contraction to avoid temperature-induced marking discrepancies. The lens incorporates focusing to minimize focus-induced changes in the angle of view, reducing focus breathing virtually to zero.
