| Lens configuration | 13 elements in 8 groups (1 ASPH aspherical lens, 1 ED lens, 4 ultra-high refractive index lenses) | Compatible imaging screen size | APS-C |
| Minimum shooting distance | 0.3m | Aperture | F0.95-F16 |

- Super large diameter: The brightness of the aperture F value of 0.95 allows you to suppress ISO sensitivity and obtain clear images with low noise even in scenes that require a high shutter speed or in environments with insufficient light such as at night or in a dark room.
- Reduces flare and distortion: By using aspherical lenses, ED lenses, and ultra-high refractive index lenses, all aberrations are suppressed and flare and barrel distortion are significantly reduced.
- Minimum shooting distance 0.3m: By utilizing the perspective of a wide-angle lens to make nearby objects appear larger and distant objects smaller, it is possible to create eye-catching and dynamic expressions in close-up shots.
- High quality lens barrel: The lens barrel is made of metal with a good texture, giving you a sense of high rigidity and solidity.
- Compatible mount: There are four types: Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Fujifilm X.
ZY Optics is also developing autofocus lenses, similar to several other Chinese lens manufacturers (Yongnuo, Meike, AstrHori, Sirui, 7artisans, TTartisan, Viltrox, and Venus Optics).
