Unmatched Portability and Discreetness
This makes the camera body and lens a truly pocketable combination.For street photography, travel, or any time you want to be inconspicuous, this lens allows you to carry a high-quality camera without the bulk and intimidating appearance of a larger lens.
"Set It and Forget It" Simplicity
he fixed f/6.3 aperture and manual focus design lend themselves to a "zone focusing" or "pan focus" shooting style. With an 18mm focal length (roughly 27mm equivalent on APS-C) and a narrow aperture, the depth of field is naturally very deep. This means you can often set the focus to a specific distance and have most of your scene in focus, allowing you toshoot quickly without needing to adjust focus or aperturefor every shot.
Excellent Value for Money
It is very affordable. It's an accessible entry point for photographers who want to experience the benefits of a prime lens without a large financial commitment. For the price of a lens cap, you get a fully functional, creative tool.
Optimized for Sharpness
With a fixed aperture and manual focus, our engineers optimize the optical formula for a single f-stop, often the sharpest one. The optical performance is focused on being sharp and clearat f/6.3. This can lead to a surprisingly high-quality image, particularly in the center of the frame.
