A Chinese company is teasing the launch of an ultra-bright lens designed for portrait photography on its official Facebook account.

Whereas the manufacturer has teased its launch on Facebook in recent times without disclosing any details, the rumor mill says that the product is coming soon as the Mitakon Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 lens.

The upcoming Mitakon Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 lens will be a manual focus optic that consists of an internal design with nine elements, including a couple of aspherical elements, arranged in six groups.

It will have an 11-blade aperture, which can be controlled from the lens. The optic has an aperture ring on it along with aperture markings. Moreover, a focus ring is available as well as a focus scale.

The rumor mill says that the lens will have a minimum focus distance of one meter. Either way, this bright optic will be perfect for capturing close-up portraits. Its price has not been revealed by sources, yet.
