A bright, normal-length prime for Hasselblad X-mount mirrorless medium format cameras, the Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 from Mitakon Zhongyi is a versatile lens, characterized by its impressive f/1.4 maximum aperture. This fast design excels in low-light conditions and also offers enhanced control over depth of field for using selective focus techniques. The optical design uses two ultra-high refractive index elements and two high refractive index elements to produce well-corrected imagery, void of chromatic and spherical aberrations. The lens's manual focus design suits working with subjects as close as 2.3' away with a 1:4 maximum magnification ratio.

Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 Reviews
Bought a GFX for this Lens
I have to admit, I bought into the GFX system mainly to use this lens. My copy is pretty sharp wide open (especially for all practical use and printing). It definitely is heavy and the focus throw is too long for my tastes, but the images that come out of it are fantastic. A couple things I've noticed - if you are doing a tight portrait, stop down to f/2 or f/2.8. Also, shooting at f/11-16 isn't great, as diffraction lifts its ugly head. Last, a lens hood would greatly diminish flares. For portraits, this thing is magic! Highly recommend.
Unbeatable value
Bought this lens on sale so it was a no-brainer. I'd say full price at five ninety nine is still a great value. My copy is sharp. Some CA but it is part of the charm. Solid feel and smooth controls. Love it.
