  • Dmitriy

    Why so dark?

    • Sandro

      rather, the question is: why so big, and not a pancake?

      • Alexander

        The front lens sits deep enough, you can carry it without a cover and a protective filter ...

  • Trueash

    An interesting decision. Especially for street photography?

  • Victor

    They cheapened the price, it was necessary to put at least 500.

  • Jea reth

    And here is the question! Do many watering cans have a frame under 40mm?

  • Sergei

    Something I got the impression that the aperture of this lens is located in front of the optical unit.

    • Sergei

      I took a closer look - still no, the diaphragm is simply too close to the front lens. And it has the shape of a pentagon (not even a nut).
