The Lydith 30 f3.5 II delivers a distinctive character that blends high sharpness with painterly backgrounds and brilliant color rendering. Originally known for its unique optical signature, the updated version improves upon the original with a fully redesigned mechanical housing and refined optical performance. The result is a lens that captures exceptional detail in the foreground while smoothly transitioning into a soft, watercolor-like bokeh—perfect for storytelling through rich, emotionally engaging images.
With a close focus distance of just 0.15m, the Lydith excels in macro and near-macro scenarios, offering a subtle 3D effect that separates your subject from its surroundings. Its compact size, excellent depth of field, and faithful color reproduction make it a versatile tool for travel, street, portrait, and nature photography alike. The lens is optimized for full-frame cameras, but also pairs beautifully with APS-C sensors, where it functions as an effective standard focal length.
Available in a wide range of mount options including Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Leica L, and more. (Mounts are not user-interchangeable.)
