Mitakon Zhongyi 200mm f/4 Macro for Sony E-Mount Reviewed

A 200mm macro at $400 is genuinely unusual — most photographers chasing working distance at 1:1 are spending significantly more. If you shoot insects or small subjects where getting close spooks the subject, this focal length buys you real distance that a 90mm or 105mm simply can't. The catch: it's manual focus only and from a brand without a deep reputation. Worth a look if you're a dedicated macro shooter on a budget, safely ignorable for everyone else.
