Pergear 60mm f2 8 Macro 2:1 (upgraded version) Review
90
The Pergear 60mm f2.8 2:1 macro lens is a fantastic option for macro photography. It offers great image quality, improved brightness, and impressive bokeh for its low price.
The Pergear 60mm f2.8 2:1 macro lens is a fantastic option for macro photography. It covers a full frame sensor when shooting macro, which is impressive for a lens designed for crop APS-C cameras. The improved work in bright light and slightly better macro work make it a valuable upgrade from the previous model. Being able to get twice as close as other macro lenses without needing an extension makes it even more fascinating. The image quality, especially at f2.8, is very sharp in the middle with good contrast. The bokeh is also impressive, producing nice and soft backgrounds, and the longitudinal chromatic aberration is virtually non-existent. Overall, the Pergear 60mm f2.8 2:1 macro lens offers great value for its low price.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Improved brightness
- Nice bokeh
- Good build quality
Cons
- Noticeable pin distortion
- Softness at close distances beyond f8
- Visible color fringing
The build quality, with a body made completely of metal, is commendable. Despite being manual focus, the focus ring turns smoothly, making it easy to focus for macro work.
