Mitakon Zhongyi 85mm f/2 Lens for Sony A Mount
Key Features
  • Sony A Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2 to f/22
  • Manual Focus Design
  • Depth of Field and Distance Scales
Often considered the ideal focal length for portraiture, Mitakon's 85mm f/2 Lens is a manual focus prime designed for full-frame and APS-C-sized Sony A-mount DSLR cameras. The 6 element, 6 group design is housed within a metal lens barrel, which features printed depth of field and distance scales for greater control over focus placement. Complementing the short telephoto perspective, an f/2 maximum aperture enables selective focus and shallow depth of field control as well as enhanced performance in difficult lighting conditions. Furthermore, a 10-blade diaphragm helps to produce pleasing bokeh.

I have a nikon d3000. Is it safe to assume that this will only work in manual mode for my camera?
Asked by: Jennifer
Correct. You won't have exposure metering either so be prepared to meter separately or go through a very tedious sequence of trial and error exposure adjustments.
