This super fast wide-angle lens is highly compact, and from maximum aperture on down it delivers outstanding picture quality. Even under critical lighting situations, such as when shooting into the light, disturbing reflections and diffusion are largely eliminated. With its 75° wide angle, it captures a wide enough frame for lively reportage situations. The high aperture of f/2.0 enables creative selective focus to be employed even for wide-angle shots. And this lens is particularly recommended when shooting in difficult lighting conditions, such as at dusk or in dimly lit rooms with no flash.
