Like other large-aperture Carl Zeiss® lens designs, this f1.4 lens is simply magnificent in its ability to
capture brilliant high-resolution images in low-light conditions requiring fully open aperture.
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology achieves high torque at
low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates through the ability of a piezoelectric device to
reshape itself quickly when voltage is applied.
Glass-Molded Aspherical Lens Elements
These precision lens elements correct distortion for sharper, more visually accurate images.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Because light of different wavelength (or color) bends at different angles when it passes through a
lens, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass is used in Carl Zeiss® lenses to eliminate chromatic aberration by
correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well-defined colors.
