Exakta 70–210mm MC Macro – Manual Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Exakta 70–210mm MC Macro is a lens that punches above its weight. With its variable focal range, it adapts easily to subjects near and far—from delicate flowers and insects to candid portraits and distant wildlife.

Its built-in macro capability lets you shoot small subjects without additional attachments, making it perfect for those who love nature photography, detail shots, and experimenting with texture and abstraction. The MC (Multi-Coating) ensures reduced flare and ghosting, providing greater contrast and color fidelity—even in challenging light.

The lens features a variable aperture from f/4.5 to f/5.6, delivering decent low-light usability while maintaining a manageable depth of field. Though it lacks modern autofocus or stabilization, it makes up for it with character, build quality, and versatility, especially when paired with a tripod or monopod for added stability.
