Mitakon Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 Launches for Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD

ZY Optics has listed its new Mitakon Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 lens for medium format cameras on its official website. The lens is part of a promotion that also includes the Mitakon 65mm F1.4 II and 80mm F1.6 medium format primes.

The Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 has been rumored for several months, but its appearance on the Mitakon website comes with limited technical information. Photo Rumors has shared additional specifications, offering a closer look at what photographers can expect from the new lens.

Fast F1.4 Aperture With a Classic Perspective

The Mitakon Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 offers a 45mm focal length on medium format cameras, equivalent to approximately 35–36mm on full-frame systems. This versatile perspective makes it suitable for street photography, environmental portraits, travel, documentary work, and everyday shooting.

Its F1.4 maximum aperture is particularly notable for a medium format lens, providing additional flexibility for low-light and indoor photography while allowing photographers to achieve shallow depth of field.

According to the specifications reported by Photo Rumors, the optical construction consists of 13 elements in 11 groups, featuring a dual floating-element design. The lens also incorporates two high-refractive-index elements, one extra-low dispersion element, and one aspherical element to help control optical aberrations and distortion.

An 11-blade aperture diaphragm rounds out the optical design.

Manual Focus and All-Metal Construction

The Mitakon Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 is a manual-focus-only lens with a minimum focusing distance of 0.45 meters. It does not have electronic contacts, meaning the camera will not record lens information in the EXIF data.

Given its medium format coverage and fast maximum aperture, the lens is relatively substantial. It weighs 750g without the lens hood. The Fujifilm GFX version measures 77.4mm long, while the Hasselblad XCD version measures 85.8mm.

The lens features an all-metal construction and accepts standard 62mm filters. It also comes with a newly designed lens hood.

Pricing and Availability

The Mitakon Speedmaster 45mm F1.4 is priced at $599 and is now available through the Mitakon online store.

The lens is offered in Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD mounts. B&H Photo also carries Mitakon products, although availability of this particular lens has not yet been confirmed.
