Review Summary

Yes, This is a manual 85mm lens. As long as that doesn't scare you, this lens appears to be well built, is heavy, and provides crisp pictures. I bought this lens so I could add an 85mm lens to my collection, with the intent of buying a better lens later. At this point, I'm not sure that will be necessary. I really like this lens! Contrary to what some of the negative reviews say, I'm not having any issues with it so far.

I really love this lens. All the setting rings turn as smooth as butter. They are quite so using this lens for video is great as well. Its build is solid as a tank. This lens should last a life time. Photos are sharp. Would recommend to anyone.

I love this lens and have been very impressed. I love shooting in all manual setting. This is the perfect lens for shooting in manual. If you are dependent on AF you may want to pass. The lens is heavy and reminds me of the older vintage lens when I was using a 35 mm film camera. The construction and glass are solid. I am using this with my Nikon D5200. The quality is outstanding for the cost. The lens is heavy so you may want to consider using a tripod or shooting with the strap around you neck for sure. I am not disappointed at all.

Be captivated by the Mitakon Zhongyi 85mm f/2 Lens, a meticulously crafted manual focus prime lens tailored for both FX and DX-sized Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. This lens boasts a robust 6-element, 6-group optical design, encased in a durable metal lens barrel that exudes a vintage charm reminiscent of classic film camera lenses. The barrel is thoughtfully equipped with printed depth of field and distance scales, offering photographers enhanced precision and control over focus placement.
Designed to deliver a compelling short telephoto perspective, the Mitakon 85mm f/2 Lens features a bright f/2 maximum aperture. This wide aperture not only facilitates selective focus and shallow depth of field, perfect for isolating subjects against beautifully blurred backgrounds, but also ensures superior performance in challenging lighting conditions. The inclusion of a 10-blade diaphragm further enhances its capabilities, producing smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh that adds an artistic touch to your images.
Whether you're capturing portraits, landscapes, or creative compositions, the Mitakon Zhongyi 85mm f/2 Lens is an exceptional choice for photographers who appreciate the art of manual focus and the quality of solid construction. Its weighty build suggests the use of a tripod or neck strap for added stability, making it a reliable companion for your Nikon D5200 or any compatible Nikon F-mount camera. Experience outstanding image quality and craftsmanship at an accessible cost with this remarkable lens.
