Sony Leitz Cine HEKTOR 18mm T2.1 18mm
Its 2-in-1 design converts from an 18mm wide-angle with an 84° field of view to a 10x macro lens achieving 1.7x magnification, all in a 70g anodized aluminum body. Multi-coated two-element optics suppress glare and chromatic aberration, and the front 52mm thread accepts filters for extra control. This lens is best for budget-conscious macro shooters on Sony ZV-1F or ZV-E10 cameras who need lightweight, detailed close-ups for jewelry or product photography.
