Manufacturer description

Providing the advantage of both standard lens and wide-angle lens capabilities, the 35mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens is especially effective for snapshots at a fixed focus, portraits at short subject distances, and landscapes photography. With its greater depth of field, 65-degree angle of coverage, plus compact lightweight design, this one fulfills many needs. It focuses down to 35cm.
