Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 85mm f/2 Overview

A short-telephoto prime for Sony E-mount cameras, the Creator 85mm f/2 Lens from Mitakon Zhongyi is a portrait-length manual focus lens with a de-clicked, silent aperture ring to benefit both still and video applications. The f/2 maximum aperture enables selective focus and shallow depth of field control. The six-element, six-group design is housed within a metal lens barrel, which features printed depth of field and distance scales for greater control over focus placement.

Prime portrait-length 85mm Sony E-mount lens is compatible with full-frame mirrorless digital cameras and can also be used with APS-C-sized sensors where it will provide a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.
Manual focus design is complemented by both depth of field and distance scales for using pre-focusing techniques.
The f/2 aperture and ten-blade diaphragm work together to offer a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus techniques.
All-metal lens barrel features printed depth of field and focus scales. The metal lens mount offers increased durability between the lens and camera.

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.
