Mitakon has announced two new lenses. Well, technically, they’ve announced two new G-mount versions of existing lenses. One is the Mitakon Creator 28mm f/5.6 (buy here), and the other is the Mitakon Creator 135mm f/2.5 (buy here). The new additions bring the Mitakon G-mount lens lineup up to three, alongside the existing Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 (buy here).
The crop factor of the Fujifilm GFX system is 0.79. This gives the 28mm lens a field of view equivalent to a very wide 22mm. The 135mm still remains telephoto but drops down a bit to provide a field of view equivalent to about that of a 105mm lens on full-frame.
