From the editor

Accessory macro lens for 35mm SLR cameras. Announced at the Fotoforum exhibition (April 22-24, 2021) and manufactured by the Krasnogorsky Zavod named after S.A. Zverev (Russia).

Unlike the Selena 59/1.8 lens, also announced at that exhibition, the Zenitar 60/2.8 EA Macro is equipped with electrical contacts and supports automatic aperture control from the camera.

The rotation angle of the focus ring from infinity to the closest focusing distance of 0.23m is about 320 degrees. The front of the barrel extends by 4cm when focusing at 0.23m, and the closest working distance is about 5cm.

The front element is recessed deep into the lens barrel, as with many other macro lenses, however, the resistance to flare is still poor. This indicates an imperfect anti-reflective coating.
