Boasting an impressive 135° angle of view, this lens employs an advanced optical configuration comprising low dispersion, aspherical, and high refractive index elements to effectively mitigate various aberrations and distortion, ensuring remarkable sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy in images. Featuring a manual focus mechanism, it enables focusing on subjects as close as 4.7 inches away, while its integrated petal-shaped hood serves to minimize stray light and reduce lens flare. Moreover, distinguished by its compact form factor, this lens is exceptionally portable, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go photography and travel applications.
Features
Designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, the ultra-wide-angle lens offers a 13.5mm equivalent focal length on APS-C models, providing versatile shooting options. Employing two extra-low dispersion elements, it effectively minimizes color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring superior clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, two aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index glass element work in tandem to control distortion and spherical aberrations, resulting in enhanced sharpness and precise rendering. With an expansive 135° angle of view and a rectilinear design, the lens captures subjects with minimal distortion, making it ideal for landscape and architectural photography. Its manual focus operation enables close-up shooting at a distance of 4.7 inches, aided by a focusing tab for enhanced handling. Furthermore, a built-in petal-shaped lens hood shields against stray light and offers physical protection to the front element, while a five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-point sun stars and specular highlights when photographing point light sources.
