Rated 5 out of 5

It's a keeper

A great alternative for a 135mm prime lens. It comes in at a close second place in terms of sharpness compared to more expensive 135mm primes. At widest apertures almost no chromatic aberration if any detected at all.

FEATURED REVIEWS

It's a keeper

By Todd M.

A great alternative for a 135mm prime lens. It comes in at a close second place in terms of sharpness compared to more expensive 135mm primes. At widest apertures almost no chromatic aberration if any detected at all.

While the Mitakon Creator 135mm f/2.5 Lens for Canon EF is renowned for its buttery smooth bokeh, it truly stands out with its nine-blade circular aperture that delivers an exquisite, creamy background blur. This feature makes it an exceptional choice for portrait photography, allowing photographers to achieve a perfect separation between the subject and the background. The lens offers remarkable control over depth of field, enhancing creative potential through precise focus techniques.

In terms of image quality, the Creator 135mm f/2.5 lens excels with its ultra-sharp performance and absence of vignetting. Zhong Yi has leveraged its extensive experience in crafting 135mm lenses to refine the optical design of this model. It incorporates two Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and two ultra-high refractive index glass elements, ensuring optimal sharpness and minimal field curvature. This design guarantees that images maintain sharp details even at the corners, preserving the highest possible resolution across the entire frame.

The lens also boasts apochromatic (APO) capabilities, thanks to its advanced glass elements. This design effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, eliminating distracting color fringing in high-contrast areas. As a result, photographers can capture perfectly colored, extraordinarily sharp portrait images with stunning bokeh, even under challenging lighting conditions.

Constructed with premium build quality, the lens features a robust metal barrel with clear scale markings on both the aperture and focus rings. The long focus throw allows for precise focusing, while the retractable lens hood, designed longer than previous models, helps reduce lens flare and ghosting. The internal focusing mechanism ensures that the lens housing does not extend or retract during focus adjustments, allowing for secure attachment of filters, matte boxes, and other camera accessories. Additionally, the lens is engineered to minimize focus breathing, ensuring a smooth transition when shifting the focus area.

Overall, the Mitakon Creator 135mm f/2.5 Lens for Canon EF is a superb choice for photographers seeking high-quality optics, exceptional build, and creative flexibility.
