A fast prime providing a classic portrait-length perspective, the FreeWalker 42.5mm f/1.2 Lens from Mitakon Zhongyi is designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, where it provides an 85mm equivalent focal length. The bright f/1.2 maximum aperture offers extensive control over depth of field and focus position, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions. Its manual focus design is complemented by depth of field and focus distance scales, and a minimum focusing distance of 1.5' is ideal for working with close-up subjects. The optical helps to maintain a high degree of sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy throughout the aperture range while a metal lens barrel and mount provide enhanced durability and handling during use. Pairing the bright maximum aperture and long focal length, this lens' ability to isolate subject matter is ideally suited to portraiture and other pictorial applications.

Q: 1. I use a7rii and want to buy this with FotodioX Lens Mount Adapter for Micro Four Third Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera . Is it still going to be full frame if I use this lens?

A: No. As per comment from Alec G., you will experience heavy vignetting. I am using this lens on a Sony a6000which has an APS-C sensorand I experience noticable but for me still acceptable vignetting. You will certainly experience much heavier vignetting on a full-frame camera like a a7rii.

Q: 2. There is quite a price gap between the black and silver versions. Are there any differences other than color between the two?

A: Not that I know of! I know the silver doesn't match silver body from Olympus- PEN-F and OMD's, maybe that's why.

Q: 3. Does it have auto-iris? That is, can I focus with the lens wide open, even if the camera is set to shoot at (say) f/2.8? I had some old manual lenses that need to be stopped down manually after focusing wide open. Is this one of those?

A: No, there is no auto iris functionality on this lens. You probably would not need it as the m43 cameras EVF should auto gain to the point you can see the correct exposure. This should aid in proper use of peaking and magnification for the manual focus confirmation.

Q: 4. Would this lens fit a Sony 7i or 9i camera?

A: I seriously doubt it. The Speedmaster has a Micro Four Thirds mount. I'm not familiar with Sony cameras, but I am pretty sure they have their own mount configuration. There MAY be available a lens mount adapter for the Sony body to M43 lenses. I would suggest you try Google or ask a camera expert. Sorry for not being able to help more.
