It features a 96° angle of view on the MFT sensor, providing a wide perspective. It is suitable to be used on drones, FPV drones, vlogging, building shots, etc.
With maximum T2.1 t-stop, users are no longer restrained in dim light settings. It also creates a shallow depth of field and dreamier bokeh.

The 11 elements in 7 groups optical design includes 2 pieces of ED glasses and 2 pieces of aspherical glasses that control the distortion and color fringing to the minimum. The great quality design saves a lot of time for correction in post-production. It would be useful for interior, buildings, aerial shootings, and more.
The closest focusing distance i.e. 12cm/ 5.90” makes creates the stronger background bokeh effect. It is also useful when getting a close-up of your subjects.
