This lense’s unique combination of an f/2 aperture with Vibration Reduction (VR) offers exceptionally low light photographic opportunities with a bright viewfinder image. AF-On, AF-L and Focus Pre-set functions can be controlled using buttons on the lens body for improved auto-focus control, a feature that is also aided by the fast and quiet Silent Wave Motor (SWM). VR enables hand held shooting at up to three stops slower than an equivalent non-VR lens. Four ED glass elements, including one Super ED glass keep the lens length to a minimum and help to minimize aberrations for sharp high contrast results.
Features
- Fast f/2.0 capability which effectively allows subjects to be given more emphasis by throwing background elements out of focus

- VR operation offers the equivalent of using a shutter speed 3 stops faster. In addition, active vibration mode selection possible for use in active situations such as a moving boat, car or plane.
- New Super ED glass excels at eliminating secondary spectrum and correcting chromatic aberration and offers low refractive index and lower dispersion. Also Super ED Glass more resilient to rapid temperature changes.
