Mitakon Speedmaster 85 mm f/1.2
1. Introduction
In April 2015 that situation changed due to the fact that the Chinese Mitakon company presented a 1.2/85 lens, produced in two versions, with Canon and Nikon mounts. It is a very interesting piece of news. The Canon model had such a big rear element that the contacts had to be simply glued on it (and the users had to accept a higher vignetting level) because there was simply no free space left. When it comes to the narrower F Nikon mount there are even more problems; still somehow Mitakon faced that challenge without fear. What’s more, even though the 4,000 PLN you have to pay for the Speedmaster can hardly be called a small amount of money that lens remains almost two times cheaper than the Canon 1.2/85 which, after all, has been available on the market for almost ten years.
As soon as the first specimens of Mitakon were imported to Poland we decided to conduct a full test of that lens and check it thoroughly. We would like to thank the FoxFoto company for sending that lens to our editorial office very fast indeed.
