Limited Edition lenses are distinguished by their construction and manufacturing. The design is solely focused on achieving optimal image quality, often resulting in somewhat unusual focal lengths. Unlike many other lenses, this series is handcrafted. As a result, the daily production quantity is limited - which is why these lenses carry the designation "Limited Edition."
The 31 mm lens is the moderate wide-angle lens of the series. With excellent optical performance, it is also a gem in terms of manufacturing. Thus, it is not only the perfect lens for high-quality AF-SLR cameras but also for many older cameras with manual focus.
