Mitakon Zhongyi’s new Pittura 30mm f/2.4 lens is here, giving Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD photographers another wide-angle option. The lens is designed specifically for medium format cameras and offers an 84.5° angle of view, roughly equivalent to a 24mm lens on full frame. Despite covering such a large image circle, it is still fairly compact, measuring 81 × 80mm for the GFX version and 73 × 84mm for the XCD version, with a weight of around 550g.
Inside, the lens features a 13-element, 12-group optical design, including two ED elements and one aspherical element to help keep chromatic aberrations under control while maintaining good sharpness across the frame. It also uses a dual-group floating focusing system, which is designed to maintain image quality when focusing at closer distances.
The aperture ranges from f/2.4 to f/22 with an 11-blade diaphragm, along with a clicked aperture ring. Other specs include a minimum focusing distance of 0.2m, 0.31x maximum magnification, and a standard 58mm filter thread. The Mitakon Zhongyi Pittura 30mm f/2.4 is priced at $500.
