Zhongyi Creator 35mm F/2.0
It had closest focus distance of 25mm or 0.8 feet. (another pro!)
It both features aperture ring and focus ring. Aperture ring turns counterclockwise at 90 degrees from f/2-2.8-4-5.6-8-11-16-22. One con is that the aperture ring didn't have half stops except between f/11 to f/22.
Focus ring turns clockwise from 0.25-0.3-0.4-0.5-0.7-1-2-4-infinity (in metres). The pathway of focus is extremely long, about 180 degrees. There is only 2 clicks at both ends of focus path. The focus ring is extremely smooth like my trustworthy Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM. Turning the focusing ring requires gentle force, which is good to maintain focus distance without risking unnecessary focus overwrite .
The barrel of the lens do extend. Its lengths is shortest at infinity, longest at 25mm focus mark.
