Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 85mm f/2 Reviews
Great value lens

For under $200 what can I complain about? If you don’t mind full manual (I do a lot of professional video so I don’t) then give it a try. Had a nice creamy bokeh. Focusing ring is a little stiff but I expect that to smooth out the more I use it. It’s also a little heavy but that says more about its build and durability. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. I recommend if you don’t mind full manual.
Good quality for the price!

I wanted to try a 85 mm prime lens for portraiture and I tried this one. I get good image from it and love it on my 1.6x 7DMKII (136mm 35mm equiv. which I love) The construction is good, all metal, and image that come out are good. I'd recommend it; good price, good quality, easy enough to use it.

I have a nikon d3000. Is it safe to assume that this will only work in manual mode for my camera?
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.
