The 12mm/f5.6 is non rangefinder coupled. That means, one cannot focus with this lens. Then how do I shoot? Well, at 12mm, the infinity focusing is at 2m and beyond. So, anything that is 2m and beyond will appear sharp and in focus. With the focusing guide on the lens, guess focusing should yield pin sharp images 95% of the time. Takes little practising to get it right!

Yes, viewfinder & lens hood is included in the package. The 77mm filter adapter is NOT included and is optional.

The best way to succumb to this kind of temptation is to give me a ring....
