Zhongyi Freewalker 24mm f/1.7 Lens Review
Zhongyi Freewalker 24mm f/1.7 Verdict
Here we have a fairly interesting lens, that produces a pleasing, low contrast effect, with good sharpness in the centre of the frame at fast apertures. This lens sports good build quality and it handles well too. The stepless aperture will be a bonus for those who wish to shoot video with the lens, but may take some getting used to for those shooting stills, who may be used to more defined aperture settings. The price of the lens is comparable to other, similar offerings too.

Very good sharpness across the frame when stopped down

Stepless aperture is excellent for video
Zhongyi Freewalker 24mm f/1.7 Cons
