Kodak M320 Lens

Kodak M320 features a 34-102 mm F2.8-5.1 3× zoom lens. With a focal length of only 34mm on the wide end, it offers very limited wide angle capability . However, 102mm on the tele end means that the medium telephoto angle is well covered, only lacking the reach for wildlife and sports.
