A truly fast short telephoto prime designed for full-frame Nikon Z-mount cameras, the Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 Lens from Mitakon Zhongyi pairs the bright maximum aperture with a portrait-length perspective for extensive focus control and enhanced low-light shooting. The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements with four high refractive index elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to achieve notable sharpness, even at wide apertures. Additionally, the lens features a manual focus design with a floating elements system, along with a de-clicked, silent aperture ring to benefit both still and video applications. Ideally suited for portraiture applications, the refined optical design, fast maximum aperture, and longer-than-normal perspective help to isolate subject matter and deliver a high degree of sharpness and clarity.

Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 Reviews
This lens is quite amazing
This lens build like a tank and is quite heavy. That might be appealing to certain videographer. The focus ring is so smooth. It has too much resistance to turn when I first use it. After time it get loose and become perfect to turn by hand. The image at f1.2 is quite good. It does has low contrast and prone to flare at f1.2 but the center resolution is very good. Stop a bit to f1.4-1.6 increase contrast and reduce flare. I do not see other options for ef mount that has manual aperture ring and has great image quality even at f1.2. Do not overlook this lens if you are looking for a fast 85mm full frame lens that can be adapt to any system.
Best 85mm ever.
This lens is the best prime I've owned. The lens is solid metal and glass. The lens is exceptionally sharp, and colors are reproduced perfectly. if you like Zeiss lenses, you'll like this one because this is better in my opinion. It is a declicked aperture that turns very smoothly. I use this lens with my Nikon F6 on aperture priority mode.
