A versatile, multi-purpose lens
With a focal length of 52.5 mm (35 mm equivalency) and F1.8 aperture, it’s good for snapshots, portraits, night shots and more.
Compact and easy to carry
Lightweight and only around 45mm long, it’s an ideal second lens for when you’re out and about.
Crisper, cleaner results
New optical design reduces spherical aberration and improves contrast even out on the periphery for crisp, sharp image detail.
Built-in image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and a large F1.8 aperture enhance handheld shooting in fading light or dimly lit interiors.
Smooth, silent operation
Both the motor controlling focus and the one that controls aperture are quiet, smooth and unobtrusive, ideal for shooting video.
