Generally, when it comes to medium format, lenses do not have the same extremely wide apertures many full frame or APS-C options do. Nonetheless, there are a few such options out there for medium format users, and they can offer some extreme and unique results. One such option is the Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 XCD for Hasselblad mirrorless cameras, and this great video review takes a look at the sort of images you can create with the lens.
Coming to you from Bobby Tonelli, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 XCD lens for Hasselblad mirrorless cameras. At $599, this new lens is remarkably affordable by medium format standards, and it offers the combination of the medium format look with an extremely wide aperture. Of course, you should not expect ultra-sharp results from such an affordable option with such an extreme design, but I have to admit that I was surprised by just how good the images looked; they are certainly perfectly workable. You will need to be comfortable with manual focus to work with the lens, and fast action is not an option due to the Hasselblad mirrorless system's lack of a mechanical shutter, but for portrait work, it looks like quite an interesting option. Check out the video above for Tonelli's full thoughts on the lens.
