Chinese lens manufacturer Brightin Star has just launched a new macro lens .The Brightin Star MF 60mm F2.8 will be manual focus only – and designed for APS-C cameras. But because of this it will be available in an impressively wide range of mirrorless lens mounts – Canon RF-S, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, and Nikon Z. And it will also be sold in Canon's EF-M DSLR fitting.
The 60mm lens will give an effective focal length on of 96mm on the Canon cameras, and an EFL of 90mm on the other brands. With both it will offer a 2:1 maximum magnification - allowing you to create an image that is up to twice life size.
A key feature is that there is a clicked aperture ring and a minimum focus of 0.18m (around 7in). It weighs around 700g (depending on mount type). The manual focus ring has a 160° of rotation, helping you to focus precisely on your subject.
Brightin Star already sells a full-frame 60mm f/1.8 macro lens with a very similar specification.
The new sell will sell for recommend price of $229.99 / £265.
