FAQs

While it excels at macro with 1x lifesize magnification and a 0.16m minimum focus distance, it is also an outstanding everyday and portrait lens.

3. What does the Focus Limiter switch do?
The Focus Limiter switch restricts the autofocus range to a smaller distance, which significantly increases focusing speed and accuracy when shooting close-up subjects.

How to Use
* Macro Photography: Get up to 0.16m away from your subject. Engage the Focus Limiter switch to prevent the lens from hunting across its full focal range, ensuring rapid and precise focus on tiny details.
* Portraiture & Everyday Shooting: Turn off the Focus Limiter to utilize the full autofocus range. The f/2.8 aperture combined with the 50mm focal length provides a natural perspective and beautiful shallow depth of field for separating subjects from the background.
* Video Production: Take advantage of the suppressed focus breathing and silent AF motor to pull focus smoothly without distracting audio interference or jarring shifts in the field of view.
