Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 90mm f/1.5 90mm

★★★★★ 5.0 (195)

Its f/1.5 ultra-fast aperture and 9-blade round iris deliver smooth, buttery bokeh with exceptional subject isolation, while two ED elements maintain sharpness even in low light. The all-metal, durable build and smooth manual focus ring provide a tactile, precise shooting experience at an accessible price for a Leica M mount lens. This lens is best for portrait photographers who prioritize dreamy background blur and manual focus control over autofocus convenience.
