From the editor
An unusual full-frame lens that has many obvious advantages:
- ultra-wide field of view for shooting landscapes, cityscapes or buildings;
- fixed speed of F/8 for a very large depth of field;
- closest focusing distance of 0.34m for close-ups with unusual ultra-wide-angle perspective;
- compact and lightweight metal barrel, making the lens a convenient tool for casual or travel photography;
- +/-6mm lens shift for shooting tall buildings while maintaining parallel lines;
- rotation of the shift mechanism.
In the last two cases, however, the camera must be switched to the APS-C shooting mode, otherwise black edges will appear in the frame.
