Zhongyi Optics releases Zhongyi Mitakon 85mm f/2.8 1-5x Super Macro Lens
Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics) has released a new Super Macro Lens for full-frame cameras, the Zhongyi Mitakon 85mm f/2.8 1-5x Super Macro Lens. The $499 lens is available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony FE, Sony Alpha, Pentax K, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, Fuji X mounts. A tripod collar and LED ring light are included in the package.
The 1x-5x Super Macro lens incorporates a 12-element, 8-group structure delivering impressive corner-to-corner resolution, the company says. The chromatic aberration is also controlled to the minimum (APO design). Weighing 1.65 lbs (750g) and 6.7cm long, it is a perfect companion for both wildlife or indoor lab shooting, the company claims, adding the lens is relatively compact in its class which allows photographers to capture extremely fine subjects or patterns with different sizes. Greater magnification can also be achieved by stacking extension tubes or bellows.
