Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4 ?

Post by keithlt »

I am very much a beginner in the world of macro and waiting now for a reversing ring on my aps-c cannon. I came across this lens "Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4" any suggestions on using it with a aps-c size ? or any comments on it at all?

From what I've heard, it does quite well all the way up to around 5x, and produces decent quality beyond. For the price, it's a great piece of optic, especially if you can pick up a used one.

The Chinese equivalent of Gumtree/Craigslist is filled with used copies of this lens, and often or not, they go for $100-ish. That is if you have access to that website. :wink:
