The Pittura 30mm f/2.4 is a compact, fast wide-angle prime combining an f/2.4 aperture, 0.2m close focusing, and portable design for modern medium format photography. 

Offering a versatile 24mm full-frame focal length equivalent, the Pittura 30mm f/2.4 is a new native wide-angle prime lens engineered specifically for modern medium format systems. The lens combines a fast aperture, ultra-close focusing capabilities, and a highly portable build designed to meet the demands of high-resolution digital sensors, as those present in cameras from Fujifilm and Hasselblad using the GFX and XCD mounts. 

 With the new lens Zhong Yi Optics is, the company says, “rethinking wide-angle medium format optics”. Standard native wide-angle lenses on medium format platforms typically cap out at maximum apertures of f/3.5 or f/4. The Pittura 30mm f/2.4 provides a full stop of additional light gathering capability, allowing creators to maintain lower ISO settings in challenging lighting environments while maintaining handheld shutter speeds. Beyond its low-light performance, the fast f/2.4 aperture delivers a distinct, painterly focus fall-off, producing smooth background separation and organic bokeh without sacrificing edge-to-edge sharpness across high-megapixel image planes. 

The new lens also changes how close focus works. Unlike traditional medium format wide-angle lenses constrained by long minimum focus distances, the Pittura features an ultra-close 0.2m (7.8 inches) focusing distance. Utilizing an internal floating element optical structure, the lens maintains high resolution and optical control even at maximum magnification. This enables photographers to shoot tight, dramatic foreground details while retaining full environmental context within the frame.               

Despite its fast optical design, the Pittura 30mm f/2.4 is built for high mobility and everyday carry. Housed in a durable, precision-machined all-metal barrel, the lens weighs approximately 550g and maintains a compact physical footprint (Ø 81mm x 80mm for GFX; Ø 73mm x 84mm for XCD). Its light profile makes it an ideal choice for street, landscape, travel, and documentary photographers seeking medium format rendering without the bulk of traditional medium format glass.
