The lens is manual focus, but features electrical contacts for transmitting EXIF data to the camera body and controlling the electronic aperture. It’s constructed of 13 elements in nine groups, including two aspherical elements, has a 9cm (3.5”) minimum focusing distance, uses a five-blade aperture diaphragm and uses a 58mm front filter thread.
