Overview

The Kiron 24mm f/2 MC is a vintage manual-focus lens praised for its close-up performance, surpassing Minolta, Tamron, and Takumar alternatives. It is slightly soft wide open but otherwise very nice (gasrocks). Bokeh can be busy (helimat). Build is typical of its era; it suits photographers seeking a fast 24mm prime with good close focus, especially on mirrorless or DSLR bodies via adapter.
