Video Features
The lens has an aperture de-click switch for video use that enables the aperture to be fluid without the jump from each f-stop.
The internal focusing design also reduces focus breathing. It eliminates the distraction of the changes in the angle of view when moving the focus from one object to another. Together with the 300ยฐ focus thread makes it a good ideal lens for videography.
