Last October, Funleader began a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for the production of its compact, flat 18mm F8 lens for Sony E mount and Leica L mount camera systems.
As promised in its campaign, it began shipping to global supporters in December 2019 and now, nine months later, the lens is available for purchase by the general public for three additional lens connection sockets.
The flat lens consists of six multi-coated elements in four groups, has a 100-degree field of view on a full-frame full-frame camera and is made of aluminum. The lens measures only 15 mm (59 in) and weighs only 80 grams (2.8 oz.). Which makes it only marginally larger than the lens hood you would probably keep on your camera to keep the mirror and sensor protected.
Funleader has engineered the lens around the superfocal distance, ensuring everything from 80cm (2.6ft) is in focus to infinity in the F8 aperture.
