Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 Lens

Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics) unveiled the Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6, a prime lens crafted for photographers using GFX and XCD mounts. The Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 Lens is available at USD 599. It will be available for purchase through Zhong Yi Optics’ official webstore as well as authorized resellers.

The company says the Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 is a versatile prime lens designed to excel in low-light conditions and provide exceptional control over depth of field. Crafted with precision, the lens features a carefully-designed 10 elements in 6 groups optics system. Incorporating 4pcs of HRI (High Refractive Index) and 1pcs of UD (Ultra-low dispersion) elements, chromatic aberrations are effectively minimized, resulting in exceptional image quality that meets the demands of medium format sensors.

With a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, the Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 produces a beautifully diffused out-of-focus rendering, creating a pleasing bokeh effect.
