Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 85mm f1.2 review
  • Written by

Samples

The following images were taken with the Mitakon 85mm f1.2 lens mounted on a 45MP Nikon Z7 body. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 12.2/CRAW 15.2 to Adobe Color profile with CA compensation On but no other corrections from Adobe’s lens profile. Noise-reduction is set to 0, sharpening to 50/0.5/36/10, with no extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment. I only did the occasional exposure compensation in post-processing. I’ve shot many images at f1.2 and f2.0 so you can see for yourself how Bokeh and sharpness develop once you stop the lens down a bit.

The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of the images are available in their original high resolution format for analysis at my Mitakon 85mm f1.2 sample images at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission.
