It also has a 39mm filter thread for additional light-shaping capability and features a helpful lens design (6 elements in 5 groups with a special coating) that should reduce unwanted effects like ghosting and flare.

The lens also features a quick and quiet autofocus powered by an STM stepping motor and supports eye- and face-detection algorithms.
