Review: Fun lens, very sharp, but not without its shortcomings - As most of you probably already know, this is a fun little lens. It's barely larger than a body cap, has the slick integrated lens cover, and manages to squeeze autofocus into that tiny package. Sharpness is remarkably consistent from corner to corner in my chart tests - as sharp or sharper than any other pancake out there with the possible exception of the Fujifilm XF 27 or Voigtlander options. It doesn't quite have the microcontrast and color quality as those competitors but it's no slouch, and for the price I have zero complaints. I wasn't expecting this level of clarity for under 100 bucks. The fixed f/4.5 aperture doesn't bother me either. One of my other favorite street lenses is the AstrHori 14mm f/4.5. I think that aperture strikes a great balance between functionality in most light and good sharpness with just a little character across the DOF. It isn't a low light monster or anything, so temper your expectations in low light and expect to crank your ISO. On the downside there is no manual focus option, so trying to milk what little bokeh/defocus you can out of the lens can be tricky, as you have to use single point AF and nail your spot. Also there are no filter threads so you can't use any ND filters in bright light, or a CPL or anything, which is something that I find very useful on the AstrHori f/4.5 lens. Next, the AF isn't the greatest. Even in good light and with static subjects the AF hunts a bit and may take a couple tries to lock, especially if there's not good contrast in your focus area. Forget about any complex focus tracking, or even using basic AF-C in most cases. Again, not surprising given the price point. Just be realistic with your focusing expectations and you'll be ok. Lastly, the MFD and close-up focusing aren't great so don't expect to get right up on your subject with this lens. It needs a little more room to breathe than you might expect. All in all it's a great street lens, and it's totally pocketable on smaller bodies like an X-A, X-E or X-Tx0 series. Definitely a screaming bargain, despite its flaws.
Review: fun - While I think it's great, I returned it. It's so small it can work like a lens cap. The image quality with full light is pretty good, but when it gets even a bit darker everything struggles. I think it's fun to use, just not for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What should I do if the autofocus is not working?**
A: If the autofocus function does not activate, ensure that the lens cap is fully opened before powering on the camera. If the lens cap is not open, the camera may fail to calibrate the lens properly, preventing autofocus from working.

**Q: Why has attaching the lens frozen my camera?**
A: Please check the firmware version of your lens and ensure that it is updated to version V1.02 or higher. You can easily update the lens firmware through the dedicated mobile app.

**Q: Why are the images I capture very ISO noisy?**
A: Please try lowering the ISO value on your camera. High ISO levels can introduce significant noise to your images, especially in low-light conditions.

**Q: Does the lens support manual focus?**
A: No, the lens only supports autofocus and does not have a manual focus option.

**Q: Can I purchase additional filters?**
A: This lens does not support filter installation and does not come with a separate lens cap. It features an integrated sliding design to protect your lens.
