G Series Optical Performance

Engineered with advanced G Lens optics, this lens incorporates three aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element to suppress spherical aberrations, distortion, and chromatic fringing. This ensures sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction across the frame. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh for selective focus applications.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus

Equipped with dual linear motors, the autofocus system provides quick, accurate, and near-silent performance. This makes the lens ideal for both still photography and video recording, including applications requiring precise subject tracking. Internal focusing enhances responsiveness while maintaining a consistent lens length.

Close-Up Capability

The lens offers impressive close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 18 cm in manual focus (24 cm in autofocus), achieving up to 0.19x magnification. This enables detailed subject capture and greater compositional flexibility at shorter distances.

Compact and Durable Design

With a compact form factor and lightweight construction, this lens is designed for portability and everyday use. Its robust build includes dust- and moisture-resistant sealing and a fluorine-coated front element that resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints for easy maintenance. The physical aperture ring and tactile controls enhance usability for both photographers and videographers.

Matched Compact Prime Series

This lens is part of a trio of compact G primes alongside the FE 40mm f/2.5 G and FE 50mm f/2.5 G lenses. These lenses share consistent styling, identical 49 mm filter thread sizes, and similar ergonomics, making them ideal for building a cohesive and portable shooting kit.
