AstrHori AF AF 27mm f/2.8 27mm
With its STM stepping motor autofocus and eye-recognition support, this 167g APS-C prime captures a 40.5mm full-frame equivalent field of view at f/2.8. The de-clicked aperture ring and USB-C firmware upgrade interface add practical flexibility, while 6-element, 5-group optics with special coating reduce ghosting and flare. It is best for street photographers needing a compact, fast-focusing normal prime for candid shots and environmental portraits.
