Weather sealing ensures reliable performance in challenging environments.

The 86mm filter thread allows the use of standard filters, while the 95mm front diameter fits common matte boxes. The lens is compatible with L-mount cameras from Panasonic, Sigma, Leica, and others, covering full-frame sensors and also usable on Super35/APS-C with a crop factor.
