Manual Focus Operation

This lens features a precise manual focus mechanism. To focus:

  1. Schau durch die Bilder deiner Kamera viewfinder or use Live View.

Blendensteuerung

The lens features an aperture ring for manual control of the diaphragm. The aperture setting influences the depth of field and the amount of light entering the camera.

  • Rotate the aperture ring to select your desired f-stop (e.g., f/1.4, f/2, f/4, f/8, f/16).
  • A wider aperture (smaller f-number like f/1.4) allows more light and creates a shallower depth of field, ideal for portraits.
  • A narrower aperture (larger f-number like f/16) allows less light and creates a greater depth of field, suitable for landscapes.
