The lens also includes an electromagnetic diaphragm, which ensures the right mechanical aperture position is achieved every time. Fast f1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also enables precise control over the focus plane when working with selective focus techniques.  Smooth background blur Seven rounded diaphragm blades further contribute to a pleasing out of focus quality with shallow depth of field imagery.
