Go Rogue With Your Travel Video With This Stealthy New Pancake Lens Option

The SG-image AF 35mm f/2.2 Lens

Designed to be a “one-lens” solution for those on various travels or adventures, this new SG-image AF 35mm f/2.2 Lens packs a lot into its tiny frame, making your mirrorless camera look less intimidating and more discreet.

This is kind of a nice pro hack for travel photography and videography, as it helps you blend into crowds and allows for more natural documentary-style capture of natural moments when out and about. Yet you’re not locked into the fixed-lens design of other travel point-and-shoot cameras, which is nice.

The other cool feature of this SG-image AF 35mm f/2.2 Lens is that the build provides a high-end tactile feel and solid durability, meaning that, despite its low price (more on that below), it should be able to withstand the rigors of travel and heavy use.
