@myfunleader_official kindly sent me a copy of their #Caplens 18mm f8 to test. Tks, guys. This is a very thin and unobtrusive lens with a field of view of 28mm on a cropped sensor, or 18mm on FF, with a fixed f8 aperture. It's available for all major mounts. 28mm is a distance I hardly use on my everyday, but now and then I really enjoy experimenting something different to see where it takes me, and what I liked most about this lens is that you can get very close to the action, unnoticed, and still get a lot of the scene in focus - great for street photography or shots from the hip. It's liberating not to think about the diaphragm, and at f8 you always have most of the scene in focus. It does have a focus stick on its body, which is easy to use, though it took me some time to get used to it, coming from Fuji lenses. At this price tag, of course you shouldn't expect the same level of sharpness, detail and color accuracy from a regular lens, but I did enjoy the analog feel you get from its images - a bit like a digital Lomo. That said, the lens is still capable of producing sharp images in the center of the frame. By shooting against the light, you'll also get a lot of flare, but this has never bothered me, I even like these weird effects. Take a look at some images I've made and draw your own conclusions. I used Fuji X-Pro 1 and X-Pro 3 bodies, with EF-X8 flash for some of them. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9Rg5IH0Hk/?utm_medium=tumblr
