From the editor
With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 38-40mm (depending on sensor size), the lens covers a wide range of subjects from landscapes and architecture to portraits. The latter genre is facilitated by the fast speed of F/1.8, which makes possible a shallow depth of field and a smooth, eye-pleasing background blur. When stopping down, 10 aperture blades will keep the out-of-focus highlight's a more rounded shape.
The short closest focusing distance of 0.18m allows for close-ups of flowers and other small subjects.
The light weight (192g) and overall length of only 33mm make this lens very portable and convenient for casual or travel photography, if you don't mind focusing manually.
