Brightin Star has announced the release of their new budget macro lens, the 60mm f/2.8 2X Macro APS-C Manual Focus Prime. It is a completely manual prime lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras and has a maximum magnification of 2x, or twice the actual size of the subject.

The lens has a wide maximum aperture of f/2.8, which goes down to a minimum of f/22 for even better low-light shots and a smooth background blur and subject isolation, even at extreme close distances for a macro lens.

The lens has IMC coating, which prevents any kind of flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration, providing bright and vivid colors and good contrast even at extreme lighting conditions.

The lens has a smooth manual focus system with a focus travel of up to 160°, making it perfect for both stills and video.

The lens has a focal length of 60mm, which is equivalent to about 90mm or 96mm on Canon systems when used on APS-C mirrorless cameras, making it a good option for portrait-style macro shots and general photography.

The lens is about 73 x 112mm in size and weighs about 698 grams.

The lens is available for several camera systems, including Sony E, Canon RF-S/EF-M, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Micro Four Thirds.

The lens is designed for mirrorless cameras only and cannot be used with any kind of DSLR camera.

Also, you may need to enable the "shoot without lens" mode on your camera for this lens to work.

The lens has a completely manual focus system and no weather sealing, making it a compact and affordable option for photographers.

The release of the Brightin Star 60mm f/2.8 2X Macro APS-C Manual Focus Prime lens provides a budget option for photographers looking for a high magnification macro lens without the expense of a native lens for their mirrorless camera system.
