Brightin Star Releases the 60mm f/2.8 2X Macro APS-C
Brightin Star is now offering a new budget-friendly macro lens: the 60mm f/2.8 2X Macro APS-C Manual Focus Prime Lens. This is a fully manual lens intended for use with APS-C format mirrorless camera systems and offers a 2:1 or 2X magnification ratio, meaning your subjects are twice life-size. This is a great lens for getting close-up shots of small things like insects, jewelry, plants, or small products.
This lens offers a wide maximum aperture of f/2.8 (which goes down to f/22) and is useful in low light. It uses IMC multi-layer nano coating to reduce flare and ghosting and is good at keeping colors and contrast strong in difficult lighting conditions. It is a fully manual lens with a 160° smooth and precise focus ring.
On an APS-C camera, this 60mm lens is equivalent to 90mm or 96mm on Canon camera systems. It is 73 x 112 mm in size and weighs 698 grams. It is a well-built lens with a metal construction despite being a budget-friendly lens at a price of $209.99 (originally priced at $229.99).
It is available in a few different mounts: Sony E, Canon RF-S and EF-M, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Micro Four Thirds. It is intended for use with mirrorless camera systems and requires the "shoot without lens" setting to be enabled on your camera. It is not suitable for use with DSLR camera systems.
This is a new budget-friendly entry into 2:1 or 2X macro photography with the Brightin Star 60mm f/2.8 2X Macro APS-C Manual Focus Prime Lens.
