As it befits a good manual device you deal here with a comfortable focus ring which works properly; its working range amounts to 270 degrees, making it every bit as useful as the rings of far more expensive rivals. A depth of field scale on the lens makes the focusing even easier.

A combination of full frame, the 85 mm focal length and the fast f/1.2 aperture makes the depth of field rather shallow; you need some experience with manual lenses to deal with it without any problems. An appropriate focusing screen in a viewfinder or a focus peaking function is more than welcome, providing you can attach the Mitakon to a body offering it.
