My First S Lens


Photo-A-Day #3617

This week I received a special delivery from Samsung. I received my very first S lens. An S lens is a more advanced and professional lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8 which is retained throughout the focal range. Most lenses have to reduce the aperture as the focal length of the lens increases but not on this lens. I can shoot 2.8 at 16mm and at 50mm. This is a big advantage in getting super sharp high quality images. I can’t wait to start shooting with this lens more.
