Premium Lens

33.3mm (50mm equivalent on half frame) f8.0 lens
Fixed focus from 2m to infinity

Designed around a classic Aplanat or Rapid Rectilinear design with 4 Elements in 2 groups. A modern higher index, lower dispersion glass replaces the two outer glass-types, and helps to correct over the wider spectral range (400-700nm) required for modern photography. A single-layer anti-reflection coating on all optical surfaces provides a balance of high transmission with a classic ever-so-slightly warm colour rendering.33.3mm (50mm equivalent on half frame) f8.0 lens
Fixed focus from 2m to infinity
4 elements in 2 groups (2 low dispersion elements). Arranged in a classic Rapid Rectilinear design that corrects distortion, coma, and lateral color. Single-layer anti-reflection coating.

This premium lens allows you to capture an remarkable level of detail for such a small camera.

30mm (45mm equivalent on half frame) f8 meniscus lens
Fixed focus from 1.5m to infinity

A single element positive meniscus lens provides a vintage feel to images. Half frame coverage exploits the sharper center of the image circle.
The vintage feel is further enhanced by chromatic aberrations in the corners, especially evident in white highlights. This lens is great for creating atmospheric portraits.
