<\/a>Ergonomically, it’s a challenge, as the focus ring is part of the enormous outer barrel. My hands are not accustomed to focusing such a large ring, and it made it quite difficult to turn easily simply because of the size. It also has a relatively long minimum focus distance of over 1.5m. Still, if you want shallow depth of field, this lens can deliver. I didn’t have my A7 with me, but I did get a chance to take a quick shot with my a6000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mitakon also has some very interesting ultra-fast mirrorless lenses on display here at the show. They handed me their new 35mm f\/0.95 for Sony APS-C E-mount cameras (also available in Fuji X and Micro 4\/3) and I took the one image above of the 135mm with that lens. It’s quite compact, lightweight and has good tactile feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I unfortunately had my shutter speeds a bit too slow, as I had been using my stabilized 35mm f\/1.8 OSS, so I don’t have full size image samples due to some hand shake, but the qualities I see look quite nice. This might be a very nice option to get full-frame depth of field for a small amount of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also on display is the impossibly tiny 25mm f\/0.95 for Micro 4\/3. When I say it’s tiny, I mean it’s TINY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lens is roughly the size of the Olympus 25mm f\/1.8, but is nearly two full stops faster. The focus and aperture rings feel great, and at $399, is an unbelievable bargain given the aperture. I didn’t shoot much with it, but they had a GH4 they let me use, and contrast is excellent while sharpness looks decent too (I may have slightly missed focus). See a full-size sample below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mitakon is certainly pushing the boundaries for speed and affordability in its lenses. Let’s hope they keep it up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I happend upon the Mitakon booth on my way out of PhotoPlus for the day, and saw the newly announced limited edition 135mm f\/1.4, and just had to stop.
