Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 30mm f/3.5 II 30mm
Its coated Schott and O'Hara glass elements deliver sharp, high-contrast images with a distinct artistic rendering, while the 10-blade diaphragm creates circular out-of-focus highlights. The compact 270g all-metal build and a close 160mm minimum focus distance make it a versatile tool for intimate detail work. This manual focus prime is best for Nikon Z photographers who prioritize tactile, deliberate composition for close-up and still-life imagery.
