Beautiful portraits, Peter, your work with Mitakon 65 f/1.4 is stunning and just has a unique rendering in your hands. I may have to brave medium-format manual focus one day soon, inspired by your results!

Kalani, thank you so much. That Mitakon is my favourite lens on any platform, and I've shot with many, many lenses. Don't be afraid of the manual focus, it's doable for sure if you first compose, punch in at 100% magnification, focus, and hit the shutter without zooming out.
It's the weight of this lens that you'll have to fear more 😂
Truer words have never been spoken. I absolutely loved the Mitakon 65/1.4 but its heavvvy and worse didnt balance properly on my 100s. Sold it !
