five-bladed version, the sunburst effect with 14 points is &#8216;softer and subtler&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h3>Fujifilm G mount added<\/h3>\n<p>The original blue ring lens was designed for use on full-frame DSLR and mirrorless cameras in the following mounts &#8211; Canon EF, Canon RF, Leica L, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Pentax K and Sony E.<\/p>\n<p>Now, both versions of the lens available in Fujifilm G mount,

strong light sources and reflections in windows to consider.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional nine blades<\/h3>\n<p>The addition of nine more aperture blades has an effect on how the lens renders the out of focus areas.<\/p>\n<p>The new red ring version is said to create a more rounded bokeh that is smoother and, according to Venus Optics, is more appealing for shooting cityscapes at night.<\/p>\n\t\t<div

medium format cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The company says that the ultra-wide angle with well-controlled distortion gives greater flexibility to capture buildings, architecture and interiors.<\/p>\n<p>Both versions of the lens are constructed of 17 elements in 11 groups, which includes two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberration, as well as the same lens coatings that additionally control chromatic aberration, flaring and ghosting.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_164093&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width:
