Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. One review mentioned using a focusing rail? What is he talking about?

A: This is a manual lens, so, to get the focus point, you need to move the camera or the object.The focusing rail todo this, to move the camera back and forward instead finding the focus.

Q: 2. Would the Canon EF + dumb adapter be the same as the native MFT version?

A: Hello Nicholas, I have only used it on MFT cameras, so cannot answer from experience. But since it is manual focus and manual aperture selection I think it would function exactly the same. David.

Q: 3. Isn't 20mm about .8 inch? That is, is this lens focused by moving it to it's only focal distance?

A: It appears to be the case but I've only tried the lens once. It has no dial to focus, just one for aperture and one for the strength of the macro. It is really close up and amazing but probably needs to be on a tripod or use a high shutter speed. I was moving too much so my first tries weren't as sharp as I'd like but I can see great potential with this lens.

Q: 4. It says the lens has no filter thread. Can you attach a ring light to it? Like this one: VM-160 LED Macro Ring Light? Thank you!

A: Indeed, it has no filter thread so you wouldn't be able to attach a ring light directly onto it.

Q: 5. Will this lens work with Sony a 77II

A: The a77ii does have A mount and that lens is also A mount, so they are compatible with each other.

Q: 6. Do you recommend this lens for portraits? And will it work on a canon revel T6i

A: This is good for portraits of ants. The DoF is razor thin. I used this on a Canon 70D without any issue. It should work fine on a T6i.

Q: 7. Does an EF-M lens fit onto an EOS Rebel T6i?

A: No, the Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens for Canon EF-M is not compatible for use on the larger EF or EF-S lens mount used on the Canon EOS Rebel T6i DSLR camera.

Q: 8. Will this lens work with a Sony a58?

A: Yes. The following system is designed and made to accommodate Sony's A mount/full-frame format.

Q: 9. Where is it made?

A: SHENYANG CITY LIAONING PROVINCE,CHINA

Q: 10. Hi. Will this work on a canon rebel t5i

A: Yes, it will work with your camera. With this super macro lens, you focus by moving the camera

[f/2] Amazing photos, just be sure and pick up the focusing rail unless you have very steady hands!

[Full-Frame] I have started using this for detail shots on invertebrate and to photograph zooplankton... and it works great! Obviously it doesn't working like your regular macro lens, being 4x-4.5x and it cannot focus on infinity, but used with proper lighting, I get spectacular results!

[Sony E] I cannot believe the quality of this macro lens for the price, I'm getting excellent/sharp still and even video with it attached to a Black Magic Pocket Cinema 4K -- be careful though, this lens is ONLY for macro and will be of no use for any other purpose.

[4.5x] Even though this is a really affordable lens, image quality is top notch. Not the easiest lens to use since there's no focus ring (only way to focus is to move your camera front/backwards). DoF is EXTREMELY narrow, but magnification ratio is great at.

[Manual Focus] To achieve great results with this lens requires patience, some small experience and some dedicated macro gear. I like to get the lens in rough focus with my focusing rail then achieve critical focus and image placement with an XYZ stage and a rotating tilt/tip stage. As you would expect, a good stacking software like Zerene Stacker is necessary unless you are shooting flat subjects. All these things are not essential but they certainly make life easier. I have used a number of light sources but a simple continuous 2 LED light system on flexible goosenecks works about as good as much more complex and expensive systems for my purposes. Such inexpensive systems are available from B&H. It is helpful to study and understand how high magnification macro works and couple that with endless patiences with the emphasis on patience in order to achieve good results. Do these things and you will achieve results that will knock your socks off.

[f/2] I just purchased and recently used the 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens. this lens because of the limited area photographed and magnification capable. Images I was collected were of parts of firearms, armory stamps and miniature identification markings. LED lights where used on both sides of area addressed and lens was less than 1/2 inch from subject in order to obtain focus with the lens.
This lens has proved slow to set up correctly but very rewarding for the results that I have obtained.
A specialty lens but once learned how to work it, results in repeatable quality photos of tiny details. Highly recommend use of tripod and macro rail if using this product.
Camera is a Canon EOS 6D, tripod with horizonal column was used.
First 2 images show detail images using the Super Macro lens, the third is offered to give reference to the amount of increased magnification. All provided images are not modified, this is what I saw in the viewer when the image was captured.
