* As of September 2024.
The lens’s small but powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronisation at all shutter speeds with a flash sync speed of up to 1/2000s. Even under mixed light sources of flash and sunlight, you can freely explore creative inspirations and freeze every shining moment.
The lens body is crafted from metal for a subtle but timeless appeal. It is not only stable and reliable but also offers an exceptional user experience. It adopts an elegant and streamlined design with the “H” logo print engraved on both the focus ring and the zoom ring. It also features a nameplate on the barrel with branding and the “V” insignia, lending a refined and enduring beauty to your photographic journey.
The lens adopts an optical structure of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements (orange) and four ED elements (blue). It effectively suppresses aberrations and meets the high-resolution demands of the 100-megapixel sensor, delivering high-quality imaging at each focal length, and achieves stunning clarity from the centre to the edges. Every minute detail stands out; every colour is natural and authentic, and every shot embodies the intrinsic beauty of the world.
At the wide-angle end, the maximum aperture of f/3.2 is maintained, guaranteeing foreground depiction in sharp relief and a soft, delicate bokeh even in dimly lit environments.

The leaf shutter is built into the lens structure. Its most significant advantage is that it can achieve flash synchronisation at all speeds (e.g., flash sync speed of up to 1/2000s). This helps capture fast-moving subjects when a flash is used and is also helpful for wide-aperture portraits in strong lighting conditions or outdoors. Due to the special design of the leaf shutter, it generates significantly reduced vibration when triggered, efficiently producing quality shots.
For cameras with a focal-plane shutter, when using flash, the shutter speed is limited to 1/125s or 1/250s, posing restrictions for creativity.
Yes. Full-time manual focus is always available. Adjust the focus ring at any time, regardless of whether you use AF or MF mode.
Distortions can be corrected in Phocus or other image-processing software for more accurate optical effects. The camera itself does not support lens correction.
The equivalent focal length is approximately 16-27mm.
