−No autofocus or electronic contacts reduces convenience for fast-paced shooting
−Exhibits lateral chromatic aberration at f/1.05 and some spherical aberration that shifts focus when stopping down

Its multi-layer coating achieves up to 99.8% light transmission to reduce flare and ghosting, while a 15-bladed aperture provides smooth bokeh.
