High-Resolution Performance
The inclusion of three aspherical lens elements compensates for various aberrations and result in high-resolution performance from corner to corner of the image, even from the widest aperture with shallow depth of field. Additionally, the f/2.5 aperture has the maximum light gathering capability during low-light situations and also provides a shallow depth of field. It also delivers beautiful natural bokeh effect with minimal spherical aberration.
Impressive Results
The incorporation of a 7-blade circular aperture allows for round defocused light sources. This mechanism maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime-lens while the wide f/2.5 aperture and circular aperture blades contribute to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background. Additionally, featuring a wide 40mm angle of view contributes in getting a unique perspective through close-up, wide angle shooting.
Dual Linear Motors and Linear Response MF
The Linear Response MF (manual focus) ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. The focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise in both still and movie modes. The FE 40mm f/2.5 Lens is equipped with two linear motors for fast, precise autofocus tracking allowing you to take full advantage of the continuing rapid advances in the speed and performance of newer camera bodies. Despite instantaneous changes in subject motion, this lens delivers excellent tracking performance making it ideal for situations require tracking a moving subject.
Dust and Moisture Resistant
Designed with adventurers in mind, this ultra-compact FE 40mm f/2.5 G employs dust and moisture resistant design that makes it appropriate for outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather-resistant measures.
Additional Features
The lens features a programmable focus-hold button for multiple custom functions. This button performs the traditional function to lock focus when recomposing and can also be customized to a number of other functions depending on your needs. You can also instantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus, thanks to the AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose. Additionally, the responsive manual aperture ring offers positive action that will satisfy photographers and moviemakers alike.
