What this lens is good for
Travel and landscapes
A compact 24mm full-frame equivalent at f/2, weighing just 130g, that delivers the classic wide focal length without the size or cost of the f/1.4 Leica. Its small size makes it an easy lens to keep on the camera for travel, street, and landscape work. Full guide →
Night and interiors
The f/2 aperture is fast enough for handheld interiors and night scenes, and the wide angle suits architecture and cramped spaces. There is no weather sealing, so it is better suited to fair conditions, but the size-to-quality ratio is excellent.
