From the editor
An ultra-wide-angle lens with a moderate speed of F2.8 and an unusually short closest focusing distance of 0.1m, allowing you to take pictures of small subjects with unusual perspective. As with the Meike 10/2 Multi Coated, the focusing distance scale is marked in such a way that most of it is taken up by distances from the closest to 1m, which automatically implies that the lens is optimized for close-up shooting. This is rather strange for an ultra-wide-angle lens, which is usually designed with optimization at medium and long distances (including infinity), since this is where landscapes and architecture are shot.
The moderate weight (360g) and overall length of 65.8mm make this lens portable and convenient for travel photography, if you don't mind focusing manually.
Despite its very wide field of view, this lens has both a 72mm filter thread and a bayonet mount for a dedicated petal-shaped lens hood.
