- Grande apertura: The lens cone's diameter is 1.57 inches (4 cm) and the exit pupil diameter is 0.91 inches (2.3 cm), providing a large aperture for natural and soft bokeh backgrounds.

Using the CPL Filter
The included CPL (Circular Polarizer/Linear) filter can be attached directly to the macro lens. This filter helps to:
- Reduce unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass.
- Enhance color saturation and contrast, making skies bluer and foliage greener.
- Improve overall clarity of your photographs.
