Pergear has announced the release of a new 2x magnification lens, the 60mm f/2.8 Ultra-Macro for Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, and Sony E mount camera systems.

The company says the lens is able to recreate life-size 2x maximum magnification photos and can focus as close as 19.1 centimeters and is therefore suitable for close-up subjects. The lens also sports a manual focus design, benefitted by focus distance and depth of field scales, along with a de-clicked aperture ring for smooth, silent rotation to suit video applications.

On APS-C camera bodies the lens is equivalent to 90mm on a full frame and Pergear says that makes it suitable for both macro work as well as portraits. Its optical design consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, three of which are high-refractive index elements that Pergear says help control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion, which it says helps “realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.” The elements have also been treated with a multi-layer coating to reduce flare and ghosting and produce greater contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. It additionally features a 10-bladed diaphragm to help create a pleasing circular bokeh.

t features a 62mm front element, weighs approximately 600 grams and has a 22.6-degree angle of view. The lens does not have any built-in stabilization.
