Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm T1.0 Cine Lens for PL Mount

When it comes to capturing cinematic excellence, the Speedmaster 50mm T1.0 Cine Lens for PL Mount stands out as a groundbreaking choice for filmmakers. Specifically engineered for full-frame EF/PL cinema cameras, this lens is recognized as one of the world's fastest PL-mount cinema lenses, seamlessly covering the expansive Arri Alexa LF and Red Monstro sensors.

The lens's ultra-fast T1.0 aperture, combined with a close minimum focusing distance, allows for the creation of buttery smooth and refined bokeh, setting it apart from conventional lenses. The 9-blade circular aperture mechanism ensures a pleasing round bokeh when used wide open, effectively separating the subject from its background and delivering an unparalleled visual aesthetic.

Designed with minimal focus breathing, the Zhongyi T/1.0 series lenses allow filmmakers to execute focus pulls without altering composition, maintaining the integrity of each shot. The ultra-fast aperture also excels in low-light conditions, making it an ideal choice for diverse shooting environments.

The Speedmaster 50mm T1.0 Cine Lens boasts extraordinary mechanical construction, featuring a unified front diameter and gear position that simplifies the use of focus motors and matte boxes across the 17mm, 25mm, and 35mm lenses. This design minimizes the need for frequent adjustments, enhancing operational efficiency. The internal focus design ensures the lens maintains a consistent physical size throughout the focus throw, while the seamless lens gear and extended focus throw with precise scale markings provide accurate control over focus points, even with the extremely shallow depth of field at T1.0.

With its larger form factor, full-frame coverage, and longer flange design, the 50mm lens is tailored to complement professional large-format cinema cameras in both PL and EF mounts. It delivers premier image quality with exceptional color contrast and sharpness, surpassing other lenses in its specification and price range. The T1.0 series is renowned for its cinematic look, offering natural colors with a subtle vintage vibe, and maintaining consistent color across different focal lengths.
