The entire series has a large aperture of F1.2, which performs outstandingly in low light environments.

lightweight design
The weight of the lens is generally between 384-400g, and when paired with a stabilizer, switching lenses does not require re leveling, making it more portable. For example, the 16mm lens weighs only 384g, and when paired with the Sony A7M4, it has fast focusing speed and good control of breathing effects. ‌
Resolution performance
