In addition to its excellent macro capabilities, the lens delivers excellent image quality from medium distances to infinity, resulting in superb landscapes or portraits with a smooth background.

INNOVATIONS IN IMAGE QUALITY
This lens features innovations that make every shot truly spectacular. Its wide f/2.8 maximum aperture produces excellent bokeh that isolates your subject with stunning results. Extra-low Dispersion glass and Nano Crystal Coat eliminate ghosting, flare and chromatic aberrations to deliver superior images in any lighting. Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilisation improves image stability and delivers a performance boost of up to 3.0 stops*, making it ideal for shooting handheld or in low-light environment, while the fast and quiet Silent Wave Motor (SWM) achieves impeccable focus. The innovative SWM and the VR mechanisms incorporate a multi-group focusing, rear-group split configuration, which reduces weight and keeps the lens length fixed during operation.
