    The focal length of this camera is great. 50mm is excellent for street photography, and wide enough for some landscape. Perfect lens to get close to subjects too. Very impressed.

    Love the lens. I feel like I’m shooting with my favorite 35mm film camera. I haven’t had a chance to compare it to the Zeiss lens but for the price, it is wonderful.

    The lens is absolutely amazing. It takes solid pictures and focuses very well. I have an older camera that it doesn't zoom out well with because of the older features of the camera but I just have to adjust the equipment further back and it's everything I ask for in a picture.
