Paint with Light – Zhong Yi Pittura 30mm f/2.4

A compact, fast wide-angle prime combining an f/2.4 aperture, 0.2m close focusing, and portable design for modern medium format photography.

Fast f/2.4 Aperture | Master Low Light & Medium Format Depth

Standard native wide-angle lenses on medium format platforms typically cap out at f/3.5 or f/4. The PITTURA 30mm f/2.4 shatters the limitations with a full stop of extra light gathering, dramatically expanding your low-light capabilities. Whether shooting handheld at dusk, indoors under dim ambient lighting, or capturing night streetscapes, you can maintain faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings to preserve maximum dynamic range and micro-contrast. Paired with its fast speed, the f/2.4 aperture unlocks a painterly focus fall-off—melting background elements into soft, organic bokeh while keeping your subject razor-sharp across 100MP sensors.

0.2m Close Focusing Distance | Dramatic Perspectives & Fine Detail

Traditional medium format wide-angle glass is often constrained by long minimum focusing distances that limit your creative composition. The PITTURA 30mm f/2.4 breaks this mold with an ultra-close 0.2m (7.8 inches) minimum focus distance, unlocking immersive close-up capability on medium format sensors. Get intimately close to your subject to capture fine textures and striking foreground detail, while the fast f/2.4 aperture creates smooth, dramatic background isolation—all without losing the expansive environmental context of a 24mm equivalent focal length.

Balanced & Agile Design | Built for Natural Handling

Medium format wide-angle lenses can quickly become cumbersome, but the PITTURA 30mm f/2.4 strikes the ideal balance between solid durability and everyday usability. Housed in a precision-machined, all-metal barrel, it weighs approximately 550g with a streamlined footprint (Ø 81mm x 80mm for GFX / Ø 73mm x 84mm for XCD). By avoiding unnecessary bulk and awkward front-heavy proportions, it avoids the chunky feel of typical fast medium format glass—delivering a nimble, well-balanced setup that sits comfortably on your camera for all-day handheld shooting.

Precision All-Metal Build | Durability & Daily Utility

Built to withstand the demands of daily professional use, the PITTURA 30mm f/2.4 features a robust, precision-machined all-metal construction that delivers a tactile, premium feel in hand. Designed with practicality in mind, it utilizes a standard 58mm front filter thread—allowing you to easily attach your favorite NDs, polarizers, or diffusion filters without needing bulky adapters. The lens also comes complete with a custom-fitted metal lens hood to control stray light, protect the front element, and seamlessly match the sleek, durable aesthetic of your camera body.
