Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 30 mm f/ 3.5 (preset)
30mm · f/3.5
Overview
The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 30mm f/3.5 is a compact, all-metal manual lens with smooth focusing and a preset aperture ring, though the click-less ring can be accidentally moved. Optically, it offers good center sharpness from f/5.6 to f/11, with slight softness wide open and at f/16; corners are decent but not outstanding. It exhibits moderate barrel distortion and vignetting, and some chromatic aberration. The lens suits photographers who value character and build quality over ultimate sharpness, particularly on mirrorless cameras where focus aids help.
