Description — Kipon 75mm f/2.4
The KIPON 75mm f/2.4 is a manual focus prime lens engineered for large format mirrorless camera systems. It mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface, placing it firmly in the technical camera ecosystem rather than conventional mirrorless bayonet mount territory. The lens delivers a 75mm focal length, classified in the standard range with a portrait type designation, offering a versatile field of view suited to studio and controlled shooting environments.
With a maximum aperture of f/2.4, it provides a reasonably bright opening for a large format optic. Weighing in at 330g, it is a manageable option for photographers building out a technical camera kit. There is no image stabilization, so tripod use is advisable for critical sharpness.
All focus adjustments are made manually, making this lens a deliberate, precision-oriented tool for photographers who prefer full control over their imaging process.
