The constant T1.9 maximum t-stop allows users to film in low-light conditions without too many constraints in settings. It can render blurred background and creamy bokeh as well.

The 15mm/ 5.9” minimum focusing distance becomes extra useful when shooting close up subjects. It is beneficial when rendering rather creamy bokeh with 7 aperture blades and creating smooth good subject separation from the background.
