Impressions after using it

The lens extension is a little different from the typical retractable type, and is done by turning a dial on the back, which is a unique structure.


It's a bit confusing at first, but once you get used to it, this extra step becomes like a little ritual before a shoot, and it becomes a comfortable and enjoyable moment.


Amazingly, the viewfinder is designed so that you can see the exposure meter needle and distance scale at the same time just by looking through it, allowing you to concentrate on shooting without taking your eye off the subject.

This sense of unity in operation is quite pleasing.
