  • 10 mm for maximum image width and extreme perspectives

    With its 10 mm focal length, this lens opens up perspectives that are not achievable with classic wide-angles. Large buildings, tight interiors and expansive landscapes can be captured in full, even at very limited distance to the subject. The image effect is extreme, yet deliberately controllable. With 130 degrees, the aspherical Hyper Wide Heliar offers the largest diagonal angle of view, making it suitable for compelling reportage as well as opulent landscapes and impressive architectural renderings.

    Extremely wide without fisheye effect

    Despite the enormous 130° angle of view, straight lines are reproduced largely as straight lines. The lens deliberately avoids fisheye-like distortion, making it particularly suitable for architectural and interior shots where clean line rendering is essential.

    High-quality optics for clean colours and consistent sharpness

    A very precisely manufactured and adjusted all-metal body ensures smooth focusing with exactly the right resistance. This enables highly precise focusing. This lens can be used not only on cameras with an M mount, but can also be adapted very well to mirrorless digital cameras using a mount adapter. The optical design optimises the angle of incidence of the light to minimise colour shifts at the image edges. In practice, this results in high contrast, stable sharpness and uniform imaging performance right into the corners, even wide open.

    Great depth of field and practice-oriented operation

    Thanks to the enormous depth of field, refocusing is hardly necessary in many situations. With a suitable aperture selection, the sharp range extends from short distance to infinity. The minimum focusing distance is 50 cm, additionally enabling close-range shots with a pronounced perspective effect. Due to the extreme depth of field, the lens has no mechanical rangefinder coupling and is particularly suitable for zone focusing, live-view work or use on mirrorless cameras with an adapter.
