Compact and versatile large aperture, fixed focal length lens

- Versatile prime lens with large F1.8 aperture.
- Lightweight and compact - an ideal second lens.
- New optical design produces crisp, clean images.
- A versatile, multi-purpose lens - with a focal length of 52.5mm (35mm 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 stabilisation - Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation 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.
- Fine tune your focus - if AF (Auto Focus) can't lock on or focuses on the wrong subject, step in and take total control with DMF (Direct Manual Focus).
- Smooth things out with ED glass - Extra-Low Dispersion glass and two aspherical lens elements minimise distortion and improve image quality.
- Discover beauty in the blur - the circular aperture, a hallmark of E-mount lenses, lets you capture beautiful foreground and background blur effects.
- Built to last and a joy to use - with a tactile aluminium alloy finish, the lens combines outstanding quality with easy operability.
