The lens features a
near circular aperture shape at all settings, and the combination of the
aforementioned XA element with its 11 bladed aperture design produces images
with sharply focused subjects and beautifully defocused backgrounds or “bokeh”.
It also has two DDSSMs (Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motors) that compose a
floating focusing system and ensure that AF acquisition is speedy and quiet,
making it an ideal choice for shooting still images as well as movies.
