At just 172 g, the AF 14mm F4.0 Air L combines an expansive 112.6° ultra-wide field of view with a compact, lightweight design. The wide perspective makes it easy to bring more of the environment into frame, while the 0.13 m minimum focusing distance and 0.23x maximum magnification provide added flexibility for closer creative perspectives.

Its 12-element, 9-group optical design, incorporating 4 ED, 2 HR, and 2 aspherical elements, is designed to deliver sharp, clean images, while also controlling chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations.

The AF 20mm F2.8 Air L: Wide, Versatile, and Easy to Carry

The AF 20mm F2.8 Air L offers a versatile wide-angle perspective in a compact form, providing a broader view while maintaining a natural sense of space. At 159 g, it is designed for creators who want the flexibility of a wide, portable lens while still drawing the frame to a subject.

With a 0.19 m minimum focusing distance and 0.17x maximum magnification, the lens still provides the capacity for closer compositions. Its optical design consists of 10 elements in 8 groups (2ED, 1HR, and 2 aspherical elements), which ensures sharp images across a wide range of shooting conditions.

The AF 40mm F2.5 Air L: A Natural Perspective for Everyday Creativity

The AF 40mm F2.5 Air L offers a balanced perspective that draws a natural subject focus while retaining a view of the surrounding environment. Weighing just 169 g, it provides a compact option for everyday photography, street shooting, travel, and visual storytelling.

Its 0.34 m minimum focusing distance and 0.14x maximum magnification add flexibility for closer subjects, while the 10 elements in 6 groups optical design (1ED, 3HR, and 1 aspherical element) supports clean, detailed image rendering.

The AF 50mm F2.0 Air L: A Lightweight Standard Prime for Everyday Creativity

Weighing just 205 g, the AF 50mm F2.0 Air L brings a classic perspective to the Air Series in a compact, lightweight form. Its F2.0 aperture offers greater flexibility for portraits, lifestyle photography, and everyday shooting, while providing additional versatility when working in lower-light conditions.

With a 0.51 m minimum focusing distance and 0.11x maximum magnification, the lens offers the capability for closer compositions.
