Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 85mm
The f/1.2 maximum aperture on this medium-format lens delivers an extremely shallow depth of field and strong subject isolation, supported by an 11-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh. Its all-metal, robust construction and smooth, precise manual focus ring provide a tactile shooting experience that prioritizes creative control. This lens is best for studio portrait photographers using Fujifilm G-mount who need exceptional sharpness and low-light capability without relying on autofocus.
