A wide angle of view and outstanding depth of field make this pancake type wide-angle lens a good choice for both snapshots and landscapes. Rendering high-contrast images across the entire frame and correcting distortion, this super-thin lens is especially ideal for capturing subjects that are primarily linear, such as buildings with a number of straight lines. Its simple lens construction - 6 elements in 5 groups, including 3 glass aspherical lenses – allows both high performance and an astonishingly compact size.
