Mitakon Zhongyi 24mm f/1.7 Prime Lens for Micro Four Thirds

Introduction

A fast prime providing a slightly wider than normal perspective, the FreeWalker 24mm f/1.7 Lens from Mitakon Zhongyi is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, where it provides a 48mm equivalent focal length. The bright f/1.7 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field and focus position for shallow depth of field photography. Extra-low dispersion glass has been incorporated into the optical design to control aberrations and distortions for increased clarity and colour accuracy while a metal lens barrel and mount provide enhanced durability and handling during use. The lens is also characterised by its manual focus design, along with distance and depth of field scales, along with the ability to focus as closely as 5.9 inch away for working with close-up subjects. Combining the bright maximum aperture, manual focus control, and an advanced optical design, this lens’ natural perspective is ideally suited to everyday use for both still and video applications.

• Slightly wider than normal 24mm prime is compatible with mirrorless Micro Four Thirds digital cameras where it will provide a 48mm equivalent focal length.
• Fast f/1.7 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables greater control over your focus position to benefit the use of selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
• Extra-low dispersion glass is incorporated within the nine-elements-in-eight-groups design to minimise chromatic aberrations and distortions for greater clarity, colour accuracy, and sharpness throughout the aperture range.
• Manual focus design pairs with printed distance and depth of field scales for greater focusing precision as close as 5.9 inch away.
• A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus techniques.
