Portrait-length 85mm prime is compatible with full-frame Nikon Z-mount mirrorless digital cameras, and can also be used with APS-C-sized sensors where it will provide a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

Fast f/1.2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables extensive control over your focus position to benefit the use of selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.

Two extra-low dispersion elements and four high refractive index elements help to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the aperture range for greater sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.

Manual focus design utilizes a floating elements system to permit focusing on subjects as close as 3.3' away.

De-clicked, stepless aperture ring permits smooth, silent aperture adjustment to benefit video applications.

An 11-blade rounded diaphragm contributes a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus techniques.

All-metal lens barrel features printed depth of field and focus scales. Additionally, a metal lens mount also offers increased durability between the lens and camera.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it have connection pins for exposure metering and diaphragm control or is just 100% manual?

A: The light meter still works but you have to set your aperture manually in the camera, and it does have focus confirmation, other than that it's 100% manual.

Q: 2. A lens hood isn't listed in the 'in the box' section. Is one included?

A: Yes, a lens hood is included with this lens.

Q: 3. Can i double check is this for sony A mount? for Sony A99 use ?

A: As the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 Lens for Sony A is designed for usage on the Sony Alpha/Minolta MAXXUM lens mount, the lens would be compatible for use on the Sony Alpha a99 DSLR Camera.

Q: 4. Does this Mitakon 85/1.2 fully cover the Frame of medium format? It isn’t shown that in the website

A: It cover approximately 95% of the sensor

Q: 5. Does it have focus confirmation? It seems that it does but nothing is mentioned on camera specs .

A: Focus peaking would be determined by the camera. If the camera does support that feature, you will be able to use it with the lens.

Q: 6. Is the minimum focus 80cm as stated? Every Nikon mount version Ive seen has been 1m.

A: According to the manufacturers website, Mitakon Zhongyi lists the minimum focus distance of the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 Lens for Nikon F as 1 meter (3 feet). Our website lists it as 2.62' (80 cm). This appears to be an error on our website and should be corrected shortly.

Q: 7. Does this need an adapter to mount to a Fuji?

A: If you have a Fuji medium format G mount camera, no adapter is needed.

Q: 8. What is a recommended lens hood for this lens on GFX?

A: There are many complaints that the original hood does not fit well. I would recommend a screw in hood like this Heliopan. It has front 77mm threads so you can add the lens cap to it. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/21880-REG/Heliopan_701077_77mm_Screw_In_Rubber_Lens.html

Q: 9. If I use this on an A7Rii and use Metabones Adapter Ultra ii 0.71x, is it still going to be fullframe? Do I need to crop it?

A: The lens and camera are both full-frame, but the Metabones 0.71x adapter does make the lens perform 29% wider than normal, so it would actually be a 60mm equivalent.

Q: 10. Is this a lens that would work on Nikon D3400?

A: Yes, this will mount onto your camera.

[f/1.2] I purchased this lens, then I sent it back waiting for the Fuji 80 millimeter 1.7.
But then I reviewed the images I took when I owned this lens from Mitakon Zhongyi and they were incredible.
F1.2...unbeatable light.
I’m going to be honest, I re-bought the lens and I have not taken it off the camera since… That’s not a lie.

[77 mm (Front)] This lens is far from producing the wow-factor of the Fujinon lineup. There's a bit of vignetting, and it's not crazy sharp, but it's got its own character and is super fun to go out and shoot with! Depends on what you are looking for in a final image.

[2.65 lb] Focus throw is long which is great for video and what I bought it for but might be a bit long for photography if you're looking to catch a shot in any kind of speedy manner. Very hefty build quality and feels like a much higher priced lens. Can't say enough about the image quality for the price.

[77 mm (Front)] This lens build like a tank and is quite heavy. That might be appealing to certain videographer. The focus ring is so smooth. It has too much resistance to turn when I first use it. After time it get loose and become perfect to turn by hand. The image at f1.2 is quite good. It does has low contrast and prone to flare at f1.2 but the center resolution is very good. Stop a bit to f1.4-1.6 increase contrast and reduce flare. I do not see other options for ef mount that has manual aperture ring and has great image quality even at f1.2. Do not overlook this lens if you are looking for a fast 85mm full frame lens that can be adapt to any system.

[77 mm (Front)] This lens is the best prime I've owned. The lens is solid metal and glass. The lens is exceptionally sharp, and colors are reproduced perfectly. if you like Zeiss lenses, you'll like this one because this is better in my opinion. It is a declicked aperture that turns very smoothly. I use this lens with my Nikon F6 on aperture priority mode.

[Manual Focus] I got this lens along with the GFX 50R a little over a moth ago while waiting for the MZ Speedmaster 65mm F/1.4.

Admittedly I was not familiar with either the camera or lens at the time, however after spending some time with both pieces of equipment I found out truly how this lens shines on the 50R medium format system.


Most reviews or commentary on the lens speaks about the heavy vignetting. It does have this like crazy, but after an epiphany I realized that in order to use this lens successfully and to maximize its 1.2 aperture you need to set your camera to 35mm mode.

The lens' rear element is clearly a 35mm format and the added built on flange to fit the GFX system needs to be treated like an adapter to the G mount.


Once you set your camera to 35mm mode, use manual focus peaking your good to go with this lens on the GFX system.

Is it the sharpest lens? No, but you get an old school manual focus lens with imperfections that lend to its character. You should never pixel peep on a lens like this. It is definitely a budget lens that will serve the photographer on a budget.


That being with correct photographic techniques, lighting, composition etc this lens will give you a unique look that is full of character and dreamy artistic fun.
