The Yasuhara Anthy 35mm f/1.8 is a manual-focus prime lens built for Leica M mount mirrorless cameras, offering full-frame coverage at a classic 35mm wide-angle focal length. With a maximum aperture of f/1.8, it provides solid performance in lower light conditions and meaningful control over depth of field. The lens is fully manual — there is no autofocus and no image stabilization — making it a focused tool for photographers who value deliberate, hands-on shooting.
