Separating itself from other portrait-length lenses, this 100mm f\/2.8 features Smooth Trans Focus (STF) technology, which uses an apodization filter to realize notably smooth bokeh with rounded out-of-focus highlights in both the foreground and background.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eSmooth Trans Focus\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOptical design incorporates an apodization (APD) element that helps to improve the quality of bokeh. This element, which resembles a radially graduated ND filter that tapers from clear in the center to denser around the edges, produces more circular out-of-focus highlights for more pleasing selective focus and shallow depth of field effects.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAn aperture range of f\/2.8 to f\/20 is available, however the implementation of the apodization filter renders this range as T5.6 to T22.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eA rounded 11-blade diaphragm further contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing shallow depth of field techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e    \u003cp\u003eG Master Optics\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eG Master lenses prioritize sharpness and bokeh quality by featuring advanced optical designs and specialized elements.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOne extra-low dispersion (ED) element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations while one aspherical element controls spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOptical layout has also been designed to reduce peripheral highlight distortion due to vignetting in order to achieve rounder out-of-focus highlights in both the foreground and background.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eA Nano AR Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e    \u003cp\u003eAutofocus and Macro Switching\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDirect Drive Super Sonic wave Motor AF system provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInternal focusing design offers more responsive focusing performance and maintains a consistent overall lens length during operation.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e    \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMacro switching ring allows you to choose between two focusing ranges: 2.8' to infinity or a closer range of 1.9-3.3'.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMaximum magnification of 0.25x at minimum focus allows for near-macro capabilities for true close-up detail shooting.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCustomizable focus hold button on lens barrel can be used to hold the focusing position, or can be set in-camera to control a variety of additional lens functions.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e    \u003cp\u003eHandling and Physical Design\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOptical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds.
