This lens is celebrated for its combination of affordability, compact size, and high-speed performance. It features an aperture range from F1.4 to F16, making it versatile for various lighting conditions. The lens has a 55mm focal length, a 52mm filter thread, and weighs approximately 286 grams (10.08 oz), ensuring ease of use and portability.

With a construction of 11 elements in 8 groups, the lens promises high-quality image capture. It boasts a minimum focusing distance of 0.61 meters (24 inches) and includes 9 diaphragm blades for smooth background blur. The autofocus capability enhances its convenience for photographers.
