  • Type

    Ultra-Wide Zoom

    Ultra-wide angle lenses with zoom capability and a shooting angle of approximately 180°. They have a strong distortion effect which is usually the desired effect. Their focal distance usually starts from 15-23mm in full frame, 8-15mm in crop frame, and 30-45mm in medium format.

  • Mount

    The type of mount that the camera body must have in order for the lens to be fully functional when attached to it.

    2. Some lenses can be used with older mounts from the same manufacturer, sacrificing certain functions (e.g. autofocus), or even with mounts from other manufacturers using an adapter.

  • Item

    Lenses with variable optical (zoom) that remain equally bright (same maximum aperture value) throughout the entire focal distance range they offer. Usually significantly more expensive than their variable aperture counterparts.

    Fixed Focal Length

    Lenses with fixed optics are usually of higher quality than a corresponding zoom lens at the same focal distance. They are also called "fixed" or "prime" lenses.

  • Sensor Type

    Crop Frame

    Lenses designed for use on cameras with a crop frame sensor (smaller frame).

  • Maximum Aperture (f)

    Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.
    2. The most open aperture of a lens is called the maximum. The more open the aperture (smaller f-number), the shallower the depth of field.

    Excellent 35mm manual lens

    Sturdy construction, smooth focus, and sharpness make it a great choice for play and experimentation.
    Bright and quite sharp already from f/1.8 (extremely sharp at f/2.8)
    It presents some chromatic aberrations that are easily corrected in post-processing.
    It fits perfectly on small bodies like the PEN and E-M10.
    I use it for street photography and I am completely satisfied
