5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect Macro Lens!
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2022
I just got a refurbished Canon EOS m200 and attached this Brightin Star 60mm Macro Lens to it, I spent about half an hour in my backyard and took the attached photos with it. It is incredible value for the money, I would have rated this a PERFECT lens, though it has one major drawback. The lens I received did not have a front lens that would protect its internals from dust/sand. I've seen some YouTube reviews that included one, so I am bummed that this one didn't include it. I know I need to order one now, but I just don't know what it's called or what size I would need (this is my first camera!). Then this lens would be AMAZING! If you purchase this lens, make sure to buy that accessory and you'll be all set to take incredibly high-quality macro photos for a very reasonable price!

Edit: I just ordered and received a Tiffen 62mm UV Protector Filter, it cost under $10 and fits this lens perfectly, it even has threads on both sides so you can still use your lens cap!

Edit2: After owning this lens for 8 months, I can say the lens has held up very well. I have also added 3 more pictures to my initial review. Even though the product page states 19cm for focal distance, I have gone far closer while using focus stacking software with it. This has been an outstanding first macro lens for me and I am a solid fan of Brightin Star's products now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inexpensive macro lens
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
Once you get the hang of it, this lens will give you great results. Fly eyes come out with excellent sharpness. Example shot is from a Sony a6000 and this lens.
My only gripes are that the listing says it takes a 62mm filter so I purchased one of that size. The lens and box both say 67 and the 62mm is useless. I got the updated version (orange band) with the glass seal in front so it isn't really a worry.
Also the bayonet mount was loose, but tightening the three tiny torx screws tightened it right up and it works flawlessly without the reported wobble that several YouTube reviews mention.
Those are worth mentioning but for a lens of this quality at this price point, I'll over look those two things.
I do wish the aperture adjustment was just a bit looser, but thank goodness it does not have detents! Those would be unacceptable on a manual lens with this kind of magnification level.
Don't forget, the closer you get the less light you get, so you will need more. The way focusing works on this lens is to move it closer and further from the sensor. So think about lighting the same as if you were using extension tubes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with practice
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2024
Let me just start off by saying how beautifully close you can get with this lens. You’ll be seeing things you didn’t even know existed. It’s easily the most entertaining and exciting thing to spend your afternoon doing.

It does take some getting used to, though. The field of focus is very tight, so you have one area that is incredibly clear and the rest will be blurred out. This means steady hands and/or a tripod set up. It also means you can miss some things unless you zoom out to capture the entire subject. You need to figure out exactly what you want to focus on and stick to it. This is not a lens for snapping quick photos, it’s a precision lens. It’s made for manual focus, patience, and sitting super still while intently staring at tiny objects.

The build feels very sturdy, and the focus and aperture are super smooth.

One other note I’d like to mention is that the lens is heavy. Very heavy compared to my other lenses. Be ready to keep a good grip on it to limit the weight pulling on the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharpness and Image Quality hit above its price point
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
I’ve only just started to get into macrophotography, and didn’t want to spend too much while I’m just dipping my toes, but it didn’t take long to realize that a 1:1 magnification lens just wasn’t enough for what I wanted to capture. On paper, this Brightin Star 60mm F2.8 macro lens sounds great, offering double the magnification at a similar or significantly lower price point to other macro lenses with just 1:1 magnification. The concern of course is that a cheap lens will also have poor image quality, so I was very pleasantly impressed at just how sharp and clear the Brightin Star macro lens was in real world usage.

The one I received was the updated version of this lens, distinguished by the metallic orange trim near the end of the lens as well as a thinner aperture ring and added depth-of-field scale imprinted on the lens barrel. The aperture now goes down to f/22, one stop smaller than the previous model. Macrophotographer Micael Widell has reviewed the older version of this lens and one issue he discovered was that the aperture markings were incorrectly marked, such that they indicated a wider aperture than what was actual (eg. f/8 was more realistically f/16). This appears to have been resolved in this updated model based on my comparison with another macro lens I have.

This is a weighty lens, over 600 grams in weight. This can be an issue in the field when you’re trying to hold the camera steady with one hand while maneuvering a leaf just right to try to capture that critter that’s on the other side, especially for more compact cameras that have a smaller grip. My hands certainly tired much sooner than when using a lighter lens.

One key advantage of a true macro lens over extension tubes is that the single lens can cover the full focusing range from the minimum focusing distance (and 2:1 magnification) all the way to infinity. So this lens can be used not only for close-up macro work, but it also works as a 60mm (equivalent to 90mm full frame) mild telephoto lens for portraits and landscape photography. I found that focusing was not too difficult for portraits, even though there is only a very short amount of focus throw available from 1 meter to infinity. Focusing is aided by very good contrast, so focus peaking operates quite well with sufficient light. I included a sample portrait image with this lens.

Lighting is of course a critical issue with macrophotography, since the depth-of-field is so narrow at high magnification that you need to stop down quite a bit to get more than just a sliver in focus, but that of course significantly reduces the light from the image. This is where a good flash and diffuser is important with macrophotography, but it is here that one major issue did emerge with the Brightin Star lens. What I discovered was that with certain orientations of my flash diffuser the Brightin Star lens seemed to exhibit significant internal reflection, characterized by sort of a haziness of the image. I’m including a side-by-side example of the Brightin Star lens with another well regarded 65mm macro lens using identical lighting setups. This greatly reduces the quality of the image, and is the primary serious flaw I encountered with the lens. I was debating whether this factor was serious enough to deduct a star from my review, but in the end I decided that the other excellent image quality aspects at this budget friendly price overweighed this flaw, especially since it only occurs under certain lighting conditions.

I am impressed with the clarity and colors produced by this lens. Also, there is very little fish eye distortion and it produces a nice wide view for my micro four thirds camera.
