What camera bodies is this lens compatible with?

How do I clean the lens?

Use a lens cleaning cloth to gently wipe the front and rear lens elements. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive pressure.

The filter size is 82mm.

Does this lens have image stabilization?

What is the closest focusing distance?

What is the aperture range?

Troubleshooting

Autofocus is not working.

Ensure the focus mode switch on the lens or camera is set to AF. Check that there is sufficient light for the autofocus system to function properly. Clean the lens contacts.

Images are not sharp.

Ensure you are focusing correctly. If using AF, try focusing manually. Check for camera shake and use a faster shutter speed. Clean the lens elements.

Bokeh is not as smooth as expected.

Make sure the background is far enough from your subject. Use the widest aperture (f/1.2). Ensure the DS coating is clean and free of smudges. Note that DS lenses are designed to soften bokeh, which may result in slightly less overall sharpness.
