Description — Mitakon Zhongyi 90mm f/1.5
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 90mm f/1.5 is a manual-focus prime lens mounted in Leica M and built to cover full-frame sensors. Its f/1.5 maximum aperture places it among the fastest lenses available in the 90mm telephoto portrait range, offering photographers the ability to shoot in low light and achieve pronounced background separation at wide-open settings. Classified as a telephoto prime in the portrait type category, its 90mm focal length delivers the compression and framing characteristics that portrait photographers rely on.
The lens features a 67mm filter thread, making it straightforward to pair with standard filter systems. Weighing 770g, it has a solid, dense feel appropriate for a fast-aperture design. There is no image stabilization and no autofocus — operation is entirely manual, which suits photographers who prefer full control over focus decisions.
Designed for mirrorless camera systems, it integrates cleanly with compatible Leica M-mount bodies.
