Yongnuo 25mm f/1.7 lens for Micro Four Thirds offers autofocus with STM motor and AF/MF switch, 52mm front filter thread, and a minimum focus distance of 20cm. Is there a place on the market for yet another 25mm MFT lens? The Chinese company Yongnuo is known for occupying the most affordable segment of camera lenses, accessories (and camera) market. After releasing quite a few SLR and mirrorless lenses for APS-C and full-frame sensors, the company joined the Micro Four Thirds Alliance in February 2020. The latest announcement includes a new MFT lens – the Yongnuo 25mm f/1.7. What are its specs and does it even make sense to release another 25mm MFT lens? Yongnuo 25mm f/1.7 Micro Four Thirds Lens I am always amazed at how some Chinese companies structure product announcements. Yongnuo announced this lens on its website, but the information there is only available in Chinese. On top of that, the whole announcement – including texts – is only a series of images. This does not surprise me anymore, but it is inconvenient as it automatically disqualifies automatic translators. Thankfully, there is an English version of the specs over on Radojuva online blog. So much about the detective work with some product announcements… The lens offers a rounded 7-blade aperture which is available between f/1.7 and f/22. It is designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras so the 25mm focal length translates to 50mm full-frame equivalent. Yongnuo 25mm f/1.7 MFT Lens. Source: Yongnuo The minimum focusing distance is 20cm...
