This is a full-frame prime lens for Sony E, covering 100 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8 (T5.6). It weighs 700 g, is weather-sealed and includes optical stabilization, and was released in 2017. That combination suits portrait photography.
It is a unique mid-telephoto prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. It features Smooth Trans Focus (STF) technology, utilizing an apodization element to achieve exceptionally smooth and pleasing bokeh, making it particularly well-suited for portrait photography. The lens offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8 with a T-stop of 5.6 due to the apodization filter, requiring good lighting conditions or higher ISO settings. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization enhances handheld shooting capabilities. With a close focusing distance and 0.25x magnification, it also serves well for close-up photography. The lens's weather-sealed construction ensures reliability in various shooting environments.
