AstrHori
Weighing just 167g, this ultra-compact pancake lens stands out for its STM autofocus and de-clicked aperture ring, making it a discreet option for Fujifilm X-mount shooters. Its 40.5mm full-frame equivalent field of view and f/2.8 aperture provide a classic normal perspective with decent subject separation. This lens is best for street photographers who prioritize a minimal, lightweight setup for all-day carry.
