Arven M2

Everything you need. Nothing you have to think about.

A fixed 23 mm lens, an APS-C sensor and controls you can set with your eyes closed.

Technical data
Arven M2 from the front: rust leatherette, graphite top plate, short 23 mm lens

Designed around one lens

Because the lens never comes off, it could be designed for exactly this sensor. That is why the M2 is so small, and why no dust reaches the sensor through a lens change.

The focus ring has a distance scale and a tab you find without looking. Turn the macro ring and the camera focuses as close as 10 cm.
