From the editor
A very compact and lightweight ultra-wide-angle lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 21.3-22.3mm (depending on sensor size) and a fixed aperture of F/4.5. It has a very simple optical formula of 6 elements in 5 groups, but one of them is ASPH, and another one is ED. Most likely it was developed with casual and architectural photography in mind, as the manufacturer claims that the lens has very well-corrected distortion. The fixed aperture of F/4.5, which cannot be stopped down, complicates landscape photography, since when shooting in this genre, photographers stop down a lot to ensure a very wide depth of field and uniform sharpness across the entire frame.
Despite the very wide field of view, the lens can use 55mm screw-in filters. There is also a version that accepts larger 62mm filters. The manufacturer does not mention anything about the lens hood, and most likely there is no special lens hood for this lens.
