• Stepping Motor (likely): Ensures smooth, quiet, and precise autofocus for capturing fleeting moments or fast-moving subjects.

Build and Handling:

• Durable build (possible): Weather-sealed construction might be included, protecting the lens from dust and moisture, allowing use in various weather conditions.
• Rounded diaphragm (likely): Contributes to a more pleasing bokeh effect at wider apertures.
• Internal focusing (likely): Reduces the chance of dust entering the lens while focusing.
• Large filter thread (possible): Allows attaching filters like circular polarizers or neutral density filters for creative control. (Check diameter specifications).
• Manual focus ring (likely): Provides the ability for precise focus control when desired.
