A compact, medium focal length featuring very good contrast and sharpness across the entire picture area – even at full aperture.Vignetting too, is hardly discernible with the lens wide open. Natural-looking portraiture with an out-of-focus background is an opti-mal task for this slightly longer focal length and the f/2.8 aperture. The black version of this lens weighs slightly more than 400 g(14 oz) and it is only a little longer than a 50 mm lens. In combination with the Tri-Elmar lens, this light tele lens forms an outstan-ding, compact travel outfit with universal applications.
