In addition to stunning G Master™ resolution, this unique 100mm mid-telephoto
lens features STF™ (Smooth Trans Focus) technology that can elevate portraits
and subjects that benefit from smooth background bokeh to new artistic heights.
It also offers close-up capability with up to 0.25x magnification, and fast, precise,
quiet autofocus. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization minimizes blur.

An APD element is similar to a neutral density filter that gradually increases in
density towards the perimeter with a correspondingly graduated decrease in light
transmission. Its effect is that areas both in front of and behind the plane of focus
transition into uniquely soft bokeh.
Everything about this lens has been designed and refined to
produce the smoothest, deepest, lushest bokeh imaginable.
The optical design including a new apodization (APD)
element and 11-blade aperture deliver breathtakingly soft,
smooth bokeh that ideally sets off in-focus subjects without
peripheral highlight distortion due to vignetting, while high
G Master resolution is maintained right out to the image
edges. Up to 0.25x magnification enables stunning close-ups.
