From the editor
A moderate wide-angle lens whose strengths are light weight and small size, as well as its closest focusing distance of just 0.15m. Although it does not have a record-breaking speed, it is enough to shoot in low light conditions, as well as isolate the subject, smoothly blurring the background, especially at short focusing distances. When stopping down, 10 aperture blades will keep the out-of-focus highlight's a more rounded shape.
The lens accepts small 46mm screw-in filters and comes with a round vented screw-in lens hood (maybe so as not to block the viewfinder of Fujifilm X-Pro series cameras?).
