Exceptional Image Quality 

Crafted with precision, the lens features a carefully-designed 10 elements in 6 groups optics  system. Incorporating 4pcs of HRI (High Refractive Index) and 1pcs of UD (Ultra-low dispersion)  elements, chromatic aberrations are effectively minimized, resulting in exceptional image  quality that meets the demands of medium format sensors. Every detail is rendered with  clarity and accuracy, allowing you to capture the true essence of your subjects.

Dreamlike Bokeh 

With a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, the Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 produces a  beautifully diffused out-of-focus rendering, creating a pleasing bokeh effect. Your subjects will  stand out against a soft, dreamlike background, adding a touch of artistic allure to your  photographs. 

Paramount Durability 

Durability is paramount, and the lens's enclosure is constructed with sturdy metal materials to ensure its longevity. It is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use, allowing you to focus  on your creativity without worrying about the lens's reliability. 

To further enhance your shooting experience, the Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 features  a built-in retractable lens hood. This clever design not only prevents stray light from entering  the frame and causing unwanted flares or ghosting but also saves you the inconvenience of  carrying a separate lens hood.

Capture breathtaking images in low light, create captivating bokeh, and enjoy the  durability and convenience of this remarkable lens. Let your vision come to life with the  Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6.
