The new Zhongyi Mitakon 24mm f/1.7 Lens is a fast prime wide-angle lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35mm, making it ideally suited for everyday shooting applications. The fast f/1.7 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also avails greater control over the focus position for shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques. The 0.15m ultra close minimum focus distance benefit users in image composition. The lens incorporates 9 elements in 8 groups with ED lenses in order to minimize chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and color accuracy. The compact size (55mm x 61.5mm) and light-weight (246g) of the lens also make it perfect for mirrorless camera users.

Thanks for post.

Check other lens topic on examples how they look. One lens - one topic, and it can't be just link :-)

Aperture ring location changes between the lenses..... not so handy if you were buying the set

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Sorry for my previous post, I would have corrected it today, anyway I will be more precise the next time.

Looks very similar to the SLR MAGIC 23 1.7 in terms of design. The weirdly close to the mount aperture wheel etc. I like the 23 1.7 myself!

One of the rumors in the industry is that Mitakon is making some of SLR Magic lenses :-)

@Vitaliy its certainly a similar design. I like SLR Magic stuff so am happy that other lenses of a similar style are out there.

Here we have a fairly interesting lens, that produces a pleasing, low contrast effect, with good sharpness in the centre of the frame at fast apertures. This lens sports good build quality and it handles well too. The stepless aperture will be a bonus for those who wish to shoot video with the lens, but may take some getting used to for those shooting stills, who may be used to more defined aperture settings. The price of the lens is comparable to other, similar offerings too.
