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.
