Wide-angle lenses on medium format 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. The company claims that the 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 PITTURA features an ultra-close 20cm / 7.8″ minimum focusing distance. By utilizing an internal floating element optical structure, the lens is said to maintain high resolution and optical control even at maximum magnification.
The lens is housed in a durable, precision-machined all-metal barrel. It weighs approximately 550g / 19.4 oz, and it has a physical footprint (Ø 81mm x 80mm for GFX; Ø 73mm x 84mm for XCD).
The optical design consists of 13 elements in 12 groups, and there are 11 aperture blades. The front filter diameter is 58mm.
