Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 Mark 'ii' lens review with samples

[@megadjc192]

for anyone wondering what to do about that moving aperture ring for stills shooters. I used a paperclip and a zip tie on the front of the lens and created a little click mechanism using the ridges in the grip of the aperture ring. It works amazingly well and is helpful for stills shooters with bigger hands like me where bumping into the aperture ring is a problem. This mod is completely reversible and does no long term harm to the lens other than potentially scraping off some paint if you use a metal paperclip.

I wish there were two versions, one with a clicky aperture ring and one with the smooth ring. I'm used to shooting stills and using a de-clicked aperture ring, but I would really like a clicky one.

[@marike1100]

Gorgeous lens, I hope they do similar updates to the already excellent 25mm 0.95 for m43 mount. And while we are wishing for things, a dedicated lens hood would be nice. But kudos to Zhong Yi optics for the Speedmaster series. I don't have to dream f/0.95 lenses anymore.

[@marike1100]

And by the way, I hope with the Speedmaster 25mm f/0.95, Zhong Yi in a Version II will improve the flare / hot spot issue of that lens. Making an excellent optic even better, I like it.

[@ehr5465]

I own the 17, 25, and 35mm speedmasters and I love them! I do notice that with this lens (the 35) that the color balance adds some magenta between 0.95 and ~1.2. Nothing major; but just keep in mind!

[@crisp2872]

I've got the 17mm version of this and love it. Never done full manual Control before, but its an completely own experience and a lot of fun with this Lenses... for Photo and Video!

[@matahari1576]

Christopher, you are producing very nice reviews with a pleasant not so overexited attitude. Good, practical information. I enjoy your work! Coming to the lens: No lens hood? That alone is a real downer. Declickedd aperture for Video is great, but sun protection is a must in my mind for such a fast lens.. A nice pouch would also be welcomed. These are things making a difference. The sharpness of the lens for 600 Euros? Well, I don´t know. If Mitakon would produce a 24 mm with comparable features (or even 1,4 with sunhood) giving me 36mm on aps-c, I would give it a try.

[@dm976]

Stop searching for infos an just buy it, this lens is awesome. I own/owned some pretty expensives lenses and this is such a bargain compared to them. I love it, beautiful colours and great sharpness even wide open. Manual focus is super easy, build quality is great.

[@dm976]

@@Sergio-dh5qh yes. it is slightly wide as a standard portrait lens but i really like it. i would totally recommend it for portraits in controlled environments. when your subject is moving a lot you probably better go with an af lens. I usually focus by sight but you can also put your fuji x-t3 in AF-C Mode, turn on face and eye recognition and set your focusarea to wide. This will result in giving you a feedback of focus while you manually focus. It still jumps as a green box on faces and even eyes are recognized. Might help to focsu quicker, but I dont use/need it.

[@finallyanime]

Even wide open it’s VERY sharp. Good enough for magazines & cropping in you won’t be sad about

[@cesar5390]

I've just found the review I was looking for. Thanks!

[@JanPBtest]

1:00 It's probably because this seems to be an F/0.95 and T/1.18 lens (about 1/4-stop difference). Still photography lens manufacturers almost never bother specifying the T-stops unless the discrepancy between the T- and the F-stops is large, as in the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R APD, for example, which is a T/1.7 lens (about 1/2-stop difference). The F stops describe the lens geometry but not its true light-gathering capability, the T stops describe the opposite. Thus F stops describe precisely the appearance of the depth of field while the T stops describe precisely the exposure (that's why T stops are used almost exclusively in film industry, as exposure consistency between different scenes edited together is more important than hand-wringing over the fine details of the depth of field; in still photography those priorities are naturally reversed as it's more about studying individual frames and caring less about exposure consistency from one page of a photo album to the next).

[@jessemorgan2009]

With the focus peaking of the Fuji X-T2 this lens is a joy to use - I find it to be easier to work with than the Canon 50mm 1.2 on a 5D MK 3.

[@gilbertdeleeuw9361]

except with moving subjects :P. Mind you I was surprised to find out how good it was when I tested the live view autofocus / dual pixel. I have fairly bad experience with the hit rate using the viewfinder AF. However, I tested it last weekend and the 5DIV 50L combo outperformed even in live view on either fuji XT-20 35 1.4 (that was slow as hell... not sure what I did wrong) or A7RII 55 1.4. With the subject moving either directly away or towards the camera at a brisk walk the canon destroyed the other two... and that's after trying all the different settings I could think of.

Fantastic review! Your review methods are great! I just got this lens and, unfortunately, I find the lens flaring to be insanely high and unusable.

I bought it few weeks ago. It's very sharp wide open but found a lot of purple fringing, after being stopped down it is present but not to such extent. Lens is worth every penny but for daily use Fujinon f/2 is probably better (autofocus, we, lower weight).

[@AgnostosGnostos]

I am glad to see you are now using a Fujifilm camera and that you are reviewing material related to Fujifilm. Also, when are you going to make a review for the X-Series line up?

[@mietschie]

i would love to see a review of that XT-2 from you, I'm struggling hard right now not to switch from Canon to Fuji, and i was always shure that this would never happen :D

[@christopherfrost]

I've been working with Fuji for a while now. The cameras and lenses are FANTASTIC. However, the colours are not good for landscape photography in my opinion. It would drive me absolutely nuts - I couldn't get my landscape colours right, no matter how I tweaked it. So now when I go out to do landscape photography I take my little Canon EOS M3 - every time - because it just gets those colours right. Fuji shoots noticeably better indoors, but fails outdoors. That's what I found after working with the X-T10 AND the X-T2. Also, on both cameras the colours looked different depending on if you were using the viewfinder or the screen, which also drove me nuts.

[@mietschie]

Thank you very much for this. That sounds actually kinda strange and seems like a real problem for former Canon users since I read alot about those "famous Fuji-Colors". That helps alot taming those switching thougts since landscapes is what i mostly do. Guess i have to test this for myself either way.

[@umutsezerkoc7412]

Christopher Frost Photography could you please show some landscape samples between xt2 and any other camera ? Im wondering how are the colors

[@kerbholzgt]

perfect job - as always ;) thx a lot

[@johntaylor5473]

Can you elaborate on the statement you made in the description of the video: "Also, most digital cameras have a quirk with the photo diodes in their sensors which mean they can't really receive the amount of light provided by an f/0.95 lens - in terms of light gathering, most sensors won't see any difference in a lens faster than f/1.1 - f/1.2. So any f/0.95 lens won't quite give you the blazingly fast you might expect. HOWEVER, depth-of-field is NOT affected: so, this lens will give you the very narrow depth-of field you would expect at 0.95. So, in terms of focal length and depth-of-field, it's the full-frame equivalent of a 52.5mm f/1.4 lens (on Canon EOS M, about 56mm f/1.5) - or thereabouts. But, you will get the kind of shutter speeds you'd see with an f/1.1-f/1.2 lens." How do you know this? Does your shutter speed not change going from f/1.2 to f/0.95 to get the same exposure? Have you tested this? You would think this kind of information would be more widely understood because it's pretty important :P Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for all the reviews!

[@christopherfrost]

I'm not 100% sure about the statement to be honest but it does seem to be a real thing.

I normally use a full frame canon 5dm2 with a 50 1.2 and that is my favorite lens. in fact what I don't like about the fujis is that they are aps-c. What third party lenses and adaptor thingies can I use to get the exact same amount of bokeh? wtf do i do :( I want to love a fuji but i don't want to forsake the bokeeeh

[@walterscott6435]

Hello Christopher. I notice you use many different cameras for your lens tests. The camera you use in this test being the Fuji XT2. How does this compare with other aspc cameras? I know your main concern is lens testing but I would be interested to know what you thought of this camera as well as the lens. Thanks in advance

[@christopherfrost]

The X-T2 is an absolutely amazing camera, like most Fuji cameras, but I personally don't like the Fuji colours for landscape photography

[@testthewest123]

About your sharpness test: I wonder: Are the corners perhaps less sharp, because they are out of focus? If your camera is directly at the height of the center taking a straight shot, then the edges should have a larger distance if your target is flat. At f/0,95 maybe this difference in distance makes the edges blurry.

[@zvxcvxcz]

Depending on the lens design there may be a lot of field curvature even for lenses without such shallow apertures that could still have blurred corners because of it. Decentering can also cause this, but in the case of that flaw we would expect to see different amounts of blur in different corners, and is a production rather than design issue. It wouldn't hurt to refocus just for the corner in another shot. Depending on how someone shoots though, that may not matter to them (e.g. looking for edge to edge sharpness for documenting paintings).

[@gur262]

they have the same Distance to the plane of focus except the lens has field curvature. the lens really is not so sharp in the corners

[@igotnoideawhattoput]

I want to switch to a mirrorless system just for this lens!

[@ciroteixeira451]

A quite interesting thing is that pretty much amateur photographers are switching to Fuji X system. Me as well, so are Canon people unsatisfied with Canon cameras and lenses, or in other hand, Fuji's quality is captivating and "buying" a great slice of every DSLr users?

[@christopherfrost]

Mirrorless tech is getting so good now that it really will take over in the future - and I think APS-C is the way forward. There's no real size advantage to a mirrorless full-frame camera. Just look at those ridiculous Sony FE lenses! Canon will survive though if they put a bit more effort into the EOS M. It has great potential.

[@ciroteixeira451]

You're right Chris, perhaps that reason and the weight/size factors really matters even to professional photographers. My biggest concern was the high ISO performance and yet the Xtrans sensor does its work just fine. And even for your KZbin channel, i think that a lot of your followers would like to watch more videos from you testing these lenses suited to micro 4/3 and mirrorless.
