The new Zhongyi Mitakon 42.5mm f/1.2 Lens features an incredibly fast aperture of f/1.2, making it ideally suited for low-light conditions shooting, greater control over selective focus and shallow depth of field imagery. Designed for the use with an APS-C-sized camera sensor, the lens gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of nearly 64mm. Above features provide an excellent portrait shooting solution for mirrorless cameras users. The lens also houses with 7 elements in 9 groups of optical lenses to provide great deal of image clarity and color renderness.

Mitakon 42.5mm f/1.2 is now available for the pre-orders , as well as their 24mm f/1.7.
In terms of image quality, the lens creates some nice bokeh effects when shooting wide open at f/1.2, creating an attractive dreamy look, but you really need to stop down to f/4 to get critically sharp results in the centre of the frame, with the edges slightly worse.

This could be an interesting taking lens for anamorphics that are able to shoot wide and require front elements less than 55mm. Good focal length for M4/3 and BMPCC + anamorphics. Anyone with one of these lenses and some anamorphics tried it out?
