This high-performance wide-angle lens with its retrofocus design (Distagon type) provides outstanding performance even at full aperture despite its high speed. Its sharpness and contrast are exceptional across the entire image field of full frame 35 mm cameras.
The integrated super-sonic-wave-motor (SSM) allows the Distagon to focus extremely fast and practically without any noise.⁽¹⁾ The wide rotation angle of the smooth-motion focus ring, which is free of play, also provides for precise manual focusing.
Due to its very close minimum focusing distance of just 19 cm, this wide-angle lens opens up a world of creative opportunities in addition to usual application areas such as landscape photography and photography in small interiors. It’s possible to capture small-sized objects from a very close distance at almost full frame, while the wide angle of the lens reveals much of the surrounding foreground and background, which blend harmoniously out of focus when selecting a large aperture. Nine aperture blades form an almost circular iris, which allows for a beautiful bokeh especially in highlights in the blurred background and foreground.
The sturdy metal lens barrel protects the interior for years of trouble-free use.

⁽¹⁾ Autofocus available only in combination with camera models that support SSM (e.g. Konica Minolta SLR cameras launched in 2001 or later, or all Sony Alpha models)
