Perfect IF this is what you are looking for

Great product. As a lens objectively don't expect the best image quality from this thing. That's literally exactly what they say; Disposable camera lens repurposed for modern digital cameras. So expect vignetting, softer shots, distortion, color shifts (in some situations) and chromatic aberrations. Make sure you buy this product for it; If you're expecting a decent alternative to other 18mm lenses, this isn't it. But it does have a few interesting things: for starters, you can also use this lens (without an adapter) on an old threaded Leica; and secondly, since it has a threaded mount, you can use that screw as a means to focus on subjects and you can actually get really close and still have the image "in focus". The lens itself is housed in a 3D printed body and includes a high quality LTM metal adapter for Fuji X (if you want it for Fuji they have other options). The aperture appears to be around f/16 and at APS-C this lens offers a field of view of around 28mm. I'm talking standard focus, the closest you can get without messing around with the screw mount is about 2-3 feet, and I've found this lens to soften at infinity than the best point; I would suggest the focus sweet spot should be around 5-8 feet.

Pros
  • Single focus f-17mm F16 lens (fixed aperture)
Cons
  • Sad device
