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.

Normal-length 65mm prime is designed for use with Hasselblad X-mount medium format mirrorless cameras where it provides a 50mm equivalent focal length.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables extensive control over your focus position to benefit the use of selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
Two ultra-low dispersion elements and two high refractive index elements help to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the aperture range for greater sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.
Manual focus design offers a 2.3' minimum focusing distance along with a 1:4 maximum magnification ratio to suit working with close-up subjects.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus techniques.
Built-in retractable lens hood helps to block stray light from reaching the lens, preventing flare and ghosting.

Zhongyi 65mm f/1.4 XCD mount

By James

What it comes down to with this lens is functionality versus money. It’s a manual lens, which can be fun, and I find 65mm to be an interesting focal length for the Hasselblad X2D. I have the Hasselblad 45mm and 80mm lenses; 65mm is a nice place for “everyday” photos. Hasselblad makes an autofocus 65mm f/2.8 lens for $2750; the Zhongyi manual 65mm lens is two stops faster, f/1.4, and costs $600. Like every review of this lens, the first thing you notice is how heavy it is. It’s a solid piece of glass, well-machined metal — no plastic. Yes you have to use the electronic shutter, which has its limitations, but the image stabilization works after you manually put in the focal length. You have to get used to the aperture ring at the front of the lens, which is “de-clicked.” Some reviews complain “nothing is sharp” — that’s the shallow depth of field at f/1.4. Once you achieve focus, you can use the aperture ring to help set exposure — if you want. I keep it at f/1.4 most of time; I start there — why have a wide-aperture lens if you’re not going to use it? The minimum focusing distance on the Zhongyi is 0.7m versus 0.5m on the Hasselblad. This lens does a great job at 20% of the price of the Hasselblad lens.

If is a manual aperture lens so you set your ISO, shutter speed and then turn the aperture until the exposure meter needle matches the exposure you want. The aperture size is not controlled by the camera. That is your job.

IS doesn't work with GFX 50S II. Any Idea how to enable it?
Asked by: David
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 Lens for Fujifilm G is a manual lens with no contacts to communicate with the GFX 50S II camera. So the camera does not know that a lens is attached. You need to go to the the set-up menu and choose BUTTON/DIAL SETTING. Here you will find the SHOOT WITHOUT LENS option. This will allow the camera to operate with manual lenses.
