The GR lens A12 gives a natural visual field with an angle of view nearly the same as the human eye. Compared to a wide-angle lens, a suitable distance is maintained from the subject, and the photographer is able to chat with the subject and elicit natural expressions to capture the person in a candid way without undue attention being paid to the camera. GR lens A12 is also a macro lens. The photographer can enjoy close-up photography and, from a wide open aperture setting, obtain images with excellent sharpness and high contrast and resolution to the edge.
Deep depth of field enables pan-focus shooting by stopping down the aperture. The satisfaction of being able to trip the shutter the instant the camera is pointed is one of the attractions of a wide-angle lens. At the same time, there are also dynamic composition possibilities, such as getting in close so the subject is large while an expansive background stretches out behind.
The refractive capabilities of each lens element are designed in an efficient and practical manner. Partly thanks to the use of a large-diameter aspherical element, this lens achieves a superior level of edge-to-edge resolution and image quality unimaginable for its small size. The floating structure corrects various types of aberrations that tend to occur in close-up photography. Even at the minimum shooting distance, this lens gives excellent definition and sharpness.
GR lens A12 uses a 23.6 mm × 15.7 mm CMOS sensor, which is capable of making full use of superior GR lens optical performance. With the low level of color and frame aberrations even near the edge of the image, refined bokeh can be enjoyed with the aperture wide open, and stopping down gives comfortably crisp resolution. In addition, the wide dynamic range and high sensor resolution enhance the reproducibility of details and delicate tonal nuances. The result is high image quality that is more than adequate for large-format prints.
With the manual focus ring, you can smoothly make fine focus adjustments after AF focusing is done. Focus quickly and easily even when moving up close to the subject and shooting at a wide-open aperture to get beautiful bokeh.
