I had to come and comment when you mentioned the build quality. I have the GFX 50R and the Mitakon 65mm. The first copy I got from B&H, the aperture blades went crazy and collided on themselves. Sent it back and got another copy, this one seems to be holding up fine after several shoots including a wedding. I love the look of the lens. I love your images and editing style as well.

u are the REALLY first person who ´s pictures I like and are very good with the gfx body, and now I know why.... the native lenses seems to be a nightmare. i know a couple of people owning one or the new 100, now I know that it's the lenses and not the sensor. I didn't like the separation between sharp and unsharpened parts, the bokeh itself, the color cast, the rendering, fringing or flares, etc .... a lot of unpleasant things in the gfx lenses lineup for me. the Mitakon looks pretty good, u made the most of it, what I have seen so far from this lens and the price! thx for showing up, keep on the good work!💯

It is the widest lens I have for the GFX system. - For adapting, I have 45mm, 55mm, 80mm, and 150mm from Mamiya 645; - Contax C/Y 45mm/2.8, 50mm/1.7(The 45mm works better than the 50mm. And The corner isn't the best when using the full 44x33 sensor, but cropping to 5:4 & 6:7 is pretty usable. The X-Pan mode 65x24 is pretty usable too!) - some other Leica M-mount lenses with some cropping (the corner is worse than the Contax C/Y lenses, cropped to 5:4 & 6:7 are pretty usable. Also, the lens+camera combo looks pretty good together.) - Canon EF Mount I have the Zeiss Sonnar 85mm/1.4. It covers the whole 44x33 sensor, and the image quality is amazing. However, when you half-press the shutter, the aperture blade will move (if you are not using f1.4), creating some annoying noise while the camera lets you aperture preview the whole shot. Not sure if this is fixable with a different adapter or other EF lenses. - I heard that the EF tilt-shift lenses work perfectly on the GFX since it has a bigger image circle by nature, so I might try them later. Might wanna try out 17mm, 24mm, and 45mm

@@davidluo_photo thanks for the details. The reason I ask: I have a ton of FD lenses and it seems when you get any wider than a 50mm on 35mm film lenses, the corners fall apart and vignette really badly. In a perfect world I’d love a lens that gives me a 28mm focal length sense that falls into my workflow and “look” if you stumble upon anything that hits that mark, please let me know. I don’t want to have to buy a GFX lens, I’d be totally fine with a manual focus film lens. I wish mitakon would make a wider lens like a 35mm (28 ish equivalent) for the GFX system like they did with this 65mm.

The Mitakon 50mm-equivalent lenses are really special. The Mitakon 35mm 0.95 for APS-C and 50mm 0.95 for FF are also pretty amazing. This lens and a GFX 50R is my dream combo one day.
