SMALL LENS BIG FUN

I bought this lens right when it became available and have enjoyed it very much. Its size is perfect for the S9. Manual focus is a new challenge, but a good one as it makes one slow down and be more deliberate when photographing. Results can be surprisingly good. The constant f/8 aperture is a little slower than I’d like. An f/5.6 could be better without adding too much bulk. And the 26mm focal length is just plain cool. This is a really good lens for what it is. Take it out and have fun with your photography again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't care for the fact that it is strictly manual lens. Also wish is came with a lens cover.

Hello Tobey! Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your thoughts on the manual lens and the lens cover. While this model is designed for manual lens use to offer greater creative control, we understand the convenience a lens cover provides. We’ll keep your suggestions in mind as we continue to improve our products.

Sizewise this lens is perfect for the S9. And the fact that it is an f8 is not ideal, but it works fine for daytime captures. The only downside (and the reason why I will probably never use it) is because it is manual focus only. If only they had made it auto focus, it would have been the perfect companion for the S9 for daytime shooting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us! We’re glad to hear you appreciate the compact size of the lens and its compatibility with the S9, as well as its performance for daytime captures. However, we understand that the manual focus feature may not meet everyone’s needs, and we truly value your input on this. Your suggestion for an autofocus option is noted, and feedback like yours helps us improve and innovate our products to better serve our customers. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, we appreciate it!
