Why we recommend this

The bright f/1.7 aperture and three aspherical elements deliver sharp, low-distortion images with strong low-light capability in a 115g metal body. A manual aperture ring and Nano Surface Coating provide tactile control and flare resistance that elevate its premium, compact build. This lens is best for street and travel photographers who prioritize a fast, pocketable 30mm equivalent prime with refined handling.
