Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 135mm f/2.5 Lens for Leica L

With the Mitakon Creator 135mm f/2.5 Lens for Leica L, photographers can achieve buttery smooth bokeh, thanks to its 9-blade circular aperture. This lens excels in creating a softly blended background, making it ideal for portrait photography where subject separation is paramount. The precise control over depth of field enhances creative potential, allowing photographers to focus with finesse.

The Mitakon Creator 135mm f/2.5 lens boasts premium image quality, characterized by ultra-sharp details and the absence of vignetting. Zhong Yi has refined the optical design based on extensive experience with 135mm lenses. The incorporation of 2 Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and 2 ultra-high refractive index glass elements ensures optimal sharpness and minimal field curvature. This design retains the highest possible resolution across the entire frame, even at the edges.

As an apochromatic (APO) lens, the Creator 135mm f/2.5 effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, eliminating distracting color fringing in high-contrast areas. This results in perfectly colored, extraordinarily sharp portraits with beautiful bokeh, even under strong lighting conditions.

The lens features a premium build quality with a robust metal barrel, complete with clear scale markings on both the aperture and focus rings. The extended focus throw allows for precise focusing, while the retractable lens hood, longer than previous designs, reduces lens flare and ghosting.

Additionally, the internal focusing mechanism ensures that the lens housing remains static during focus adjustments, allowing for secure attachment of filters, matte boxes, or other camera accessories. The minimal focus breathing design ensures a silky smooth transition when shifting the focus area, enhancing the overall shooting experience.
