Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the lens work with the focus stacking function in the Xt-2 or would you have to move the subject for focus stacking? (subject shoud be on some kind of adjustable track I assume)

A: You have to manually focus or move the camera or the subject for focus stacking.

Q: 2. is there any way to attach a ring light to this lens?

A: The lens doesnt have a front filter thread, so there would be no way to attach a ring light to the lens. Though, with a minimum focus distance of .79 (20 mm), you would likely be looking to find some lighting coming from the side. Or, if the item being photographed is relatively translucent, you might also consider lighting it from the back.

Q: 3. I will not use it as a portrait len. But I want to know: can it take 1x photo? Thanks.

A: Unfortunately, you can not use 1X magnification. This lens only has a 4X -4.5X magnification option with a minimum focus distance of 0.79" / 20 mm.

Q: 4. Do you think the Mitakon Zhongyi 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro lens would work on photographing jewelry, rings and such or is it too close?

A: Magnification Range: 4.5x to 4x would probably be a bit much for jewelry. I would highly suggest the 100mm macro lens by canon, please review the two following lens Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens https://bhpho.to/3yw7YoX Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens https://bhpho.to/38rlvDC

Q: 5. What can you do for lens covers with this lens?

A: There are lens caps included with this lens.

Q: 6. Hello. Does the lens work on a full-frame a7iii camera

A: No, you would need this E mount version: https://bhpho.to/2PEgQ7h

Q: 7. Is this actually a full frame for Sony lens? Usually when a lens is full frame for Sony, it is marked FE mount. I want to use this on my A7sii.

A: I'm using it on an A7. It's full frame. Very shallow depth of field (1 or 2 mm) even at f16. Must be used on a tripod.

Q: 8. Can you use the build-in focus stacking function of the Xt camera or would you have to move the subject to do that?

A: You have to manually focus or move the camera or the subject for focus stacking.

Q: 9. Would this lens be good for iridology photography? Can anyone upload a detailed picture of their eye with this lens, would be curious to see. Not sure if it would be better to have a longer range lens for that kind of shot.

A: This lens is going to give you too much magnification. The imaged area will be on the order of a few mm x mm. The whole iris can not be imaged with this lens. It takes great images on a focussing rail, but you won't have much luck hand-holding your camera. A 100mm macro lens is going to be a better choice for you, I believe.

Q: 10. How would focus stacking work with this camera, say on a Panasonic GH5s?

A: If any lens required focus stacking, it would be this one. Very high magnification and super shallow depth of field. Yes, focus stacking would be ideal for this lens.
