Zhongyi Mitakon 35mmF0.95 Mark II
With all the buzz surrounding the X-T2, I missed this news, so I catch up now: there is an updated version to the original Zhongyi Mitakon 35mmF0.95, the Zhongyi Mitakon 35mmF0.95 Mark II. It promises “drastic improvement of sharpness and better control of chromatic abberations“
You can find the first lenses at eBay US here, eBay Germany here, eBay China here and eBay Honk Kong here.
FXF Member Yukosteel compared the original Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 Vs. the Fujinon XF35mm f/1.4 in this Post.
Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics) has released an improved version of their first f/0.95 lens, Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II. The mark II verison features a drastic improvement of sharpness, better control of chromatic abberations and much compact size. The new version comes with a Fuji X / Sony E / EOS-M mount and is able to cover the image circle of APS-C sized sensors.
Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II is a ultra-fast prime lens which provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of around 53mm in APS-C cameras. A maximum aperture of f/0.95 makes it extremely convenient to shoot at a low light conditions without flash. The new optical design incorporates a 11 elements in 8 groups structure, including 1pc of Extra-low disperson elements, 2 pcs of Extra-high Refractive Index elements and 3pcs of High Refractive Index elements. This structure effectively improved the image resolution by 30% compared to the previous version from corners to corners. This also controls the chromatic abberations very well and deliver excellent image sharpness even at f/0.95.
The new Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 is light and compact. The total weight is reduced from 680g to 460g, making it an ideal companion for the compact mirrorless cameras. Manual focus design and a click-less, silent aperture ring promote smooth handling and are especially well-suited to video applications. The lens is built in metallic enclosure with additional protective process and finest finishing, which gives extra durability and aesthetic.
