Mitakon Zhongyi 35mm T1 Cine S35 Reviews

For The Price... Okay.

I really shouldn't be too hard on a cine style prime at a $399 price point. I tested this lens on my BMPCC4K and I liked the images it produces. What concerns me is how will this lens hold up over time? The T stop aperture ring makes an audible squeak when rotated (loud enough to get noticed) and at a certain rotation point there's a small hitch as if it's catching on something. I own the four lens set (17, 25, 35, 50) and mechanical characteristics between the four are not consistent. Some lenses have a stiff rotational movement, some have a slight scraping sound and feel, some turn quite easily. If these lenses hold up over time than I will say this is a good deal for the price. If they start coming apart or lose optical quality after moderate use, well, I suppose I'll never buy another. We shall see for $399.

Great Lens

Just have to say this is an incredible lens. First one I received did not have the proper line on it, second one was absolutely perfect and the focus distance markings were exact. Years ago it would have been impossible to buy a lens like this for less than 30k, or 10k. Look up some videos on it to confirm how incredible it is. Large format look on an S35 sensor. Great feeling quality. I have used 50k Cooke lenses, this is a great quality lens from Mitakon.

Was great, but am having issues

I really liked this lens, it felt sturdy and heavy, and the image quality was really good. But I just had a shoot with it and I went to grab the camera, and noticed that the lens seemed loose. I took a closer look, and it turns out that it is falling apart basically. I'm not sure if the screws got loose or what, but the whole lens is separating into different pieces. Hopefully I can resolve this issue because I really enjoyed using this lens
