Dmitry Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just realized this lens have 6 glasses in 6 groups optical design. No optical cement used at all. Anyone tried it for UV? Only issue with this lens is lack of manual focusing ring. Link to comment
dabateman Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Nope, I haven't looked at it. I guess if I ever purchased the YiMi dual lens kit really cheap, I may give it a go. Have been tempted when I saw it for $250. I did however, test my Olympus 14-42mm MSC RII lens today. It is surprising useable for UV. Only one stop less than the Sigma 30mm f2.8 lens. I just now saw that you tested it and got a good Zwb1 signal. I was able to image down to 370nm without too much hit on the exposure time. I think I found my new walk around lens. It also takes 37mm filters and will work with my Lee filter adapter. Basically a 37mm to 58mm stepup ring with a top slit so that I can slide the lee filters in. Link to comment
