A 50mm prime lens (on a 35mm camera) is the photographer's everyday go-to that roughly mimics the angle of view of typical human vision. The 1.4 maximum aperture gets you more light in a dark setting than a 1.8 or f2 option (both also common). A 28mm lens (on a 35mm camera) functions as a gentle wide-angle often popular for landscape or street photography.
This camera needs one A544 battery or equivalent, which is inserted into the small battery door visible on the front of the camera, to the left of the lens. Here is a link to our battery listing.
