Pergear 60mm f2 8 Macro 2:1 (upgraded version) lens review

[@dpfreedman]

Congratulations, Christopher! The first KZbin lens review to include the word "corpulent" !!

[@paulyeung6608]

actually i think he's used that word before 😂(not complaining though)

[@RTReview.]

We use this word on a daily base in Germany. 😅

[@josephdu1952]

This might be a silly question but... how can we tell this new version apart from the old one?

[@justmythought7658]

Best lens test channel on youtube in my opinion.

[@ecoolio]

It’d be really nice if you could test at both 1x and 2x for 2x reproduction lenses, considering there’s quite a few different brands doing them now. And especially in this one’s case, it’s so cheap (relatively) that it’d still be a decent value even if it was only good at 1x, and I imagine it would be better there.

[@spaqin]

The pincushion distortion was what made me sell the original version of the lens almost immediately after getting it - it's absolutely awful for scanning film, for one. Stuck with 7a 1:1 macro for now.

[@JayquanDeMarcusWashington]

How many versions are there now? I got the "upgraded" version, but it is absolutely shit for film scanning (like you mentioned) fortunately... I have a 60mm 1:1 tt artisans lens for my /less fancy/ camera.. but 20mp is still more than enough for scanning

[@HenryPiffpaff]

Great review, interesting lens, thanks!

[@JesusCorrea_]

Hi Christopher ✌🏻 you might do a review astrhori 85mm f2.8 tilt shift macro lens ?

[@aliendroneservices6621]

2:17 That focus-breathing is bonkers, but apparently the reason the lens changes image-circle size to FF when shooting macro.

[@striderwhiston9897]

Eh, looks just slightly worse than average for macro lenses.

[@leventebandi]

All macro lenses are doing it. Basically as you focus closer, a 60mm lens becomes more of a 85mm or for example a 100mm lens a 120-130mm lens. On high magnification macros aperture values and focal lenghts are only nominal numbers

[@swagonman]

How does it compare to Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro APO? I have that lens, and it is the sharpest lens I own.

[@davidch8618]

Hi, After all this time, what do you think? I want to buy the Laowa 65mm but my budget is tight, so I was wondering if this lens is at least similar

[@andrear9500]

Can’t find lens mount and price in the description… is it in rf mount?

[@aliendroneservices6621]

Sony a5100 = Sony E mount. Pergear itself (daught calm) says it's normally $229, but is currently selling it for $183.20, with free shipping. Also available in Fuji X-mount, M4/3, and Nikon Z-mount, all for the same price.

[@andrear9500]

@@aliendroneservices6621 thank you

[@アイラブユー-q5j]

I have a sigma 105mm macro but it's pretty fun lens i think(never look at the corner😂😂)

[@natnicart3494]

Do you think it would be worth it for taking photos of artwork for the purposes of creating prints of those artworks?

[@MattTrevett]

You said it's good value, but I didn't catch a price?

[@RaveN_EDM]

Around $200

[@mtbboy1993]

3:22 I notice heavy colour fringing in 1 to5 on the sides and to 7 at the top and bottom. (watching on calibrater monitor) The lens does not seem like the right choice for me. The distortion is too bad too.

[@jcblum1507]

Best review

[@themotorhomechef]

how is this lens compared against the laowa 58mm 2.8 macro lens

[@omegasquadflame2330]

why are you trying it on such and old camera ?

[@JeneralMat-zp2ii]

Great lens

[@cameraprepper7938]

It focuses the "wrong way" like Nikon and Pentax. A macro Lens should not have pincusion distortion, the lens has too soft "sharpness" for a macro lens, I will not recommend this.

[@AndreBerg99]

Good review, help for decision! It‘s a good very old rule - 2 stops down a lens is best… Background music? No, just noise!

[@impopio4987]

canon R series camera 😢😢😢

[@joeveebeckham]

just got the lens, its not working. no response while clicking photo. is there any settinngs that needs to be changed while using with Canon RF?

[@davidch8618]

Buenas, según estuve leyendo tiene que poner una configuración en su cámara de trabajar sin objetivo, porque es mecánico y no eléctrico

[@CarloFerraro]

Try to sell chinese lenses, especially if they are mft, good luck!

[@tonyw3250]

Not much good as a macro if it's getting soft at f8

[@PatrickWithCamera]

it is getting soft at 2:1, at this magnification diffraction kick in faster than normal 1:1

[@samrobens8254]

1st 😂😂

[@MarsArseniy]

Excellent sir, I liked the lens! Glory to Russia!!!🇷🇺
