Mitakon 65mm f/1.4 Review on Hasselblad 907x & Fujifilm GFX

The Mitakon 65mm f/1.4 for Medium Format Digital Cameras like the Hasselblad 907x & X2D as well as the Fujifilm GFX system has been a favorite lens of mine for years. The field of view closely equates to a 50mm on full frame and gives a very similar look to the classic Contax 645 80mm f/2, Mamiya 645 80mm f/1.9, & Pentax 67 105mm f/2.4. All at a relatively affordable price compared to other medium format options out there.

    I was today years old when I realised my mitakon had a lens hood.

    Moral of the whole video: to make money on lenses and cameras, you need to save money on indoor heating :)

    Can someone point me to an actuall review of this lens? This is the 8th video which I am skipping after getting through them and only getting some stupid elevator music and some stories ... I am two minuttes in this one and all I know that it is beautiful and dreamy... pffff

    Stop buying cameras and pay your heating bill so you don’t have to wear a coat indoors! 😂

    I bought it a few months ago when I was in New York City. It’s a beautiful lens, if only it had a leaf shutter, it would be perfect

    Benj, sell a camera and buy yourself a heater for that room!

    It’s such an incredible lens ! It cost 599$ but brought me 4-5 figures contracts and being published in NYC billboards. Such a great lens !!!!! I just love it. It gives you 4x5/8x10 look because of creamy bokeh and 3d pop. I wish they had option for 65mm 1.2 and 65mm 0.95 full coverage

    stop down a little and the lens gets crispy if you dont want to stop down add a little extra shutter like x3 focal length of lens. focus with your feet and eyeball. i just notice the difference in color between a fuji lens and this one but it is unique and that makes it a very cool lens to have for the gfx.

    thank you very much for sharing ! waiting for more 907X 100C videos .....

    I was shocked at how good this lens was when I purchased it. Had low expectations, but it's earned a permanent spot in my bag :)

    A great review, very much admire this lens! I am curious though, what is that beautiful body cap on the GFX in the background?

  • @deonvnzl
    @deonvnzl

    I am curious to know how you feel this lens on either of those cameras compares to something like the voigtlander 50 1.0 on a full frame body?

    good to know about the faster 14bit mode

    Same reason I love the 90mm 1.25 by another manufacturer. These hyper fast lengths on bigger sensors produce super neat results.

  • @enshongmiranda

    Modded my Mitakon 65mm to have full stops. Not sure if it applies to every copy but there are grooves inside aperture ring on my Mitakon 65mm that correspond to full stops. Also was able to mod mine to reduce the minimum focus distance to 60cm.

    One day i'll put it on my 50R.

    What sync speed do you get with this lens on the X2D ?

  • @dennisaguilar835
    @dennisaguilar835

    Besides the form factor. What's main difference between the XC2D and the 907X & CFV 100C? Why would someone that wants to buy the XC2D change his mind and buy the 907X ?

  • @_mc950_
    @_mc950_

    non - clicked aperture ring is typically a cinema lens feature, perhaps that was the thinking behind that?
