Thanks to optimum balance between the sharp imaging proper to macro lens and smooth open-aperture defocusing, this lens is able to brilliantly capture the many subtleties of human facial expressions. An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens element is used to eliminate chromatic aberrations, while a floating mechanism ensures stable, high picture quality from telephoto through macro shooting. This lens is suitable for both macro shooting and portrait photography.
