A short-telephoto prime for FUJIFILM X-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.

Prime portrait-length 85mm FUJIFILM X-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.

Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 85mm f/2 Reviews

Great value lens

By Josh
Rated 4 out of 5

For under $200 what can I complain about? If you don’t mind full manual (I do a lot of professional video so I don’t) then give it a try. Had a nice creamy bokeh. Focusing ring is a little stiff but I expect that to smooth out the more I use it. It’s also a little heavy but that says more about its build and durability. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. I recommend if you don’t mind full manual.

Good quality for the price!

I wanted to try a 85 mm prime lens for portraiture and I tried this one. I get good image from it and love it on my 1.6x 7DMKII (136mm 35mm equiv. which I love) The construction is good, all metal, and image that come out are good. I'd recommend it; good price, good quality, easy enough to use it.

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.

question

Does it has a 'A' position on the aperture ring? If not, is it possible to change the aperture on a Pentax Digital SLR?
Asked by: Yves S.
The lens has no A position, as it does not communicate with the body.The aperture can therefore be set and used on the lens, but will not be recorded in the exif data.
