Faqs:
What does 1x magnification mean for my photos?
1x magnification means the image the lens projects onto the camera sensor is the same size as the actual subject. For example, if you photograph a 10mm object, its image on the sensor will also be 10mm wide, capturing incredible detail.
Is this lens only useful for macro shots?
No, the 50mm focal length and fast f/2 point 8 aperture make it an excellent general-purpose lens. It provides a natural field of view perfect for street photography, documenting your travels, and shooting stunning portraits with smooth bokeh.
What is the benefit of the focus limit switch on this lens?
The focus limit switch allows you to restrict the lens’s focusing range. This speeds up autofocus when you are using it for non-macro subjects, preventing the lens from hunting through the extreme close-focus distances.
Is the f/2 point 8 maximum aperture maintained when shooting extreme close-ups?
No, as is typical with macro lenses, the effective aperture narrows as you focus very close. The maximum effective aperture is f/5 point 6 when focusing at the minimum distance of 0 point 16m, which still provides plenty of light.
How does the small size and low mass of this lens benefit a traveler?
Weighing only 260g and being very compact, this lens takes up minimal space and adds negligible mass to your luggage. This makes it ideal for tourists who need a high-quality, versatile lens that is easy to carry all day long.
