Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. For a lens like this that does not focus to infinity, is there a MAXIMUM focal distance that can be given?

A: No, unfortunately not.

Q: 2. I attached this lens to my Panasonic Lumix GH5 and in manual mode I am not seeing any image through the viewfinder. What am I doing incorrectly? Thank you.

A: Assuming you have set the camera to shoot with out a lens , make sure you adjust the f-stop and ISO and shutter speed to the lighting situation and that will do it

Q: 3. could I use this for a video camera and it still look nice

A: Don't know, but since macro lens with very critical focus requirement would say no.

Q: 4. I need to photograph something that is 4.5mm across with a Canon 700D (APS-C). Will this lens cope?

A: Yes, this Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens for Canon EF will be a 32 mm equivalent on a Canon 700D APS-C DSLR camera and it will be ideal in your case.

Q: 5. What is the maximum distance from lens to subject?

A: Very, very close. Like, one inch? Typically if you want to get a full composition of something with this lens, it has to be very small. For example, I took a photograph of an eye but was not able to get wide enough to encompass the full thing.

Q: 6. How would focus stacking work with this camera, say on a Panasonic GH5s?

A: If any lens required focus stacking, it would be this one. Very high magnification and super shallow depth of field. Yes, focus stacking would be ideal for this lens.

Q: 7. Will this lens work with a Sony a58?

A: Yes. The following system is designed and made to accommodate Sony's A mount/full-frame format.

Q: 8. does it works on A6000 crop sensor camera?

A: Yes, the Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens for Sony E, B&H # MIK20MF2SE, would be compatible for use on the Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera, which uses the Sony E-mount lens mount. As with all lenses used on the Sony a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera, if you are comparing the angle of view of the lens to the same lens used on a full-frame camera, you would have to multiply the focal length by 1.5x to find the full-frame equivalent. As such, the Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens for Sony E used on the Sony a6000 would be the equivalent of a 30mm lens used on a full-frame camera.

Q: 9. Will this lens work with Sony a73 camera?

A: The Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens for Sony E will mount on all Sony E-Mount cameras including the Sony a7 III Mirrorless Camera. Keep in mind this is a manual lens and focus and aperture will need to be controlled manually on the lens. Also make sure to enable "Release w/o Lens in the camera menu, as the camera does not recognize when the lens is mounted.

Q: 10. Can you use this as a general purpose wide angle lens in addition to doing macro work with it?

A: No. It has a max focal distance of only about an inch.

Im an amateur who has recently entered the realm of macrophotography. I picked up the Mitagon 20mm Super Macro lens on a lark when B&H had it in their DealZone. I have to state up front that this is a difficult lens to use. You need a stable subject, no wind, and lots of light. A focusing rail in necessary and photo stacking is required to show any depth of field. Therefore, its limited to a small range of applications. However, for the price, I cant beat it. The optics appear to be sharp. I will probably never afford a Canon 65mm MP, so for an amateur like me, this lens allows me to explore the world of high magnifications relatively inexpensively. Ive attached a picture of a boring, but stable subject (a piece of dead coral) Ive been using to work out my techniques on. The coral has fine textures and I can play around with shadows. The skeletal remains of the polyp is about 3mm in diameter to give an idea of the magnification. The picture is photo-stacked from 18 individual images. When I feel confident, Ill try my hand at more challenging subjects. I also included a picture of the setup Ive come up with thus far so that potential users can see want they may need in order to use this lens.

I've tried a couple of super macros which were a let down due to the nature of large magnification optics vs clarity, but at the price, I thought I'd give this a go. First shot was perfect and subsequent ones with stacking have finally given me unique images at brilliant clarity. F11 sends to be the sweet spot and the dof is much better than normal macros for some reason. Very, very happy. Fast delivery to Australia as well.

This is a very limited use lens, but that being said, it's a fun lens to play around with. The focus range is very small and the magnification factor means you can only get a very small object or part of an object in the frame. For the price, I think it was a good purchase and it feels like a very sturdy, well-made lens.

Fantastic quality and unreal optics. I continue to be surprised that B&H has better prices than eBay and Amazon. I find this across the entire product line. I have no reason to shop anywhere else.
