Stunning without stopping down.

Pure color and sharp edges.
Advanced SR and ED glass lens elements produce bokeh free of onion rings and color fringing.
Astonishing precision and clarity.
Combine soft shallow depth of field with breathtaking high resolution. The delicate textures of skin and hair are meticulously rendered with lifelike nuance, free from chromatic aberrations.
Point light, totally on-point.
City lights and stars are captured with refined brilliance across the entire frame, giving nighttime photos and videos an unparalleled level of clarity.
Cut through the glare and flare.
Nikon’s most advanced anti-reflective coatings, Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO Coat, are combined to overcome the harshest light coming from multiple directions.

Nikon’s Multi-Focus System uses dual STM stepping motors moving in sync for enhanced precision, especially when shooting wide open. The ultra-fast system also operates in near-silence, so you can track moving subjects without mechanical noises or vibrations.

Power aperture makes it easy to maintain your lighting.
Use the clickless control ring or your camera’s Fn1 and Fn2 buttons to smoothly, steplessly open and close the aperture, allowing you quickly to respond to lighting changes beyond the reach of Auto ISO.
