ZY Optics (Zhongyi) is getting ready to announce two new lenses at the upcoming Beijing P&E Imaging Show 2026, including a 30mm f/2.4 medium format lens and a 45mm f/1.4. So far, though, the company has only shared details about the new 30mm f/2.4, which becomes the latest addition to its growing PITTURA series lineup.

The lens is designed specifically for 44×33mm medium format sensors and will be available for both Fujifilm GFX and Pentax 645 systems. That includes cameras like the Fujifilm GFX50S and Pentax 645Z, along with compatibility for some older digital back systems from brands like Mamiya, Leaf, and Phase One that use similar sensor sizes. On this format, the 30mm focal length lands in wide-angle territory, offering a field of view of a little over 80 degrees. Zhongyi is pairing that with a relatively fast f/2.4 aperture, running from f/2.4 to f/22, with full-stop markings through the range.

Zhongyi also revealed part of the optical design, which looks relatively complex compared to older medium format lenses from the company. The lens includes multiple specialised elements, including ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and at least one aspherical element, meant to control chromatic aberration, distortion, and edge sharpness across the large image circle. At the same time, Zhongyi says the lens is still tuned to keep some character in the rendering rather than aiming for an overly clinical/’prefect’ look. Physically, the lens uses a full-metal construction and follows the same design language as the earlier PITTURA 65mm f/1.4 and 80mm f/1.6 lenses, meaning it is likely to feel fairly substantial. The official announcement is expected during the Beijing P&E show running from May 15 to May 18.
