Lydith 30mm f/3.5 II 30mm
Its 5-element optical design using coated Schott and O’Hara glass delivers sharp images with a distinct, smooth rendering of out-of-focus areas. The 12-blade diaphragm produces circular bokeh highlights, complementing the all-metal manual focus build for precise, tactile control. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers on Canon RF full-frame systems who prioritize artistic character over autofocus speed.
