Compact Wide-Angle Prime. The Meyer Optik Gorlitz 30mm f/3.5 II Lydith’s focal length makes it great for capturing cityscapes, landscapes, and portraits. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get a 45mm equivalent focal length.

Advanced Optical Design. Each individual element in this lens’s five-group/five-element optical system is made from coated Schott or O’Hara optical glass to produce sharpness, clarity, and accurate color rendering in any lighting conditions. A rounded ten-blade diaphragm helps produce an artistic circular bokeh effect that can in turn emphasize your subject in a nearly 3D fashion, according to Meyer Optik.

Manual-Focus Design. The 30mm f/3.5’s manual-focus only design lets you make precision adjustments, while its 6.3-inch minimum focusing distance enables you to get in close and shoot macro.
