The Magic of F1.2 Wide Open

An F1.2 aperture delivers significantly more light than F1.4, enabling cleaner low-light images while producing an ultra-shallow depth of field. This wide opening creates strong subject separation and smooth, immersive bokeh that gives images a pronounced three-dimensional look, with an 11-blade aperture design ensuring out-of-focus highlights remain round and visually pleasing.

Pro Performance, No Compromises

Optical Perfection Edge-to-Edge

The 13 elements in 8 groups optical structure is engineered to deliver high image sharpness even wide open at F1.2, while carefully selected ED and Ultra-Precision Aspherical (UA) elements work to suppress aberrations, ensuring clean imagery and accurate color reproduction across the frame.
