What this lens is good for
Pancake everyday wide
A tiny 55g pancake prime, a 28mm full-frame equivalent that keeps the camera pocketable while giving a useful wide field of view. It suits street, travel, and everyday shooting where you want a small, light wide prime rather than a zoom. Full guide →
Street and travel
The 28mm equivalent is a classic documentary and street focal length, and the pancake form makes the lens almost disappear on the body. The modest f/2.5 aperture is slower than the fast primes, but the size and discretion are its strengths. Full guide →
