Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 XF 28mm
Weighing just 60g with a pancake-style design and an integrated sliding lens cap, this full-frame 28mm f/4.5 prime is built for near-invisible carry. Its optical formula, featuring two aspherical and two ED elements with multilayer nanocoating, produces a distinct starburst effect from point light sources while maintaining weather-sealed durability. This lens is best for street photographers who prioritize an ultra-discreet, always-ready setup for candid shots.
