    Optical design

    Has 10 aperture blades, this lens has a beautiful bokeh. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value

    Physical characteristics

    24 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. With a lens filter diameter of 22.5 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. Weights 63 grams so convinient to carry.
