Would like to see reviews of Mitakons full frame lenses for Sony FE mount.
Possible?

These lenses have such terrible flare that their performance is really compromised. Especially for low-light shooting with point light sources (such as night time/bar photography). For the 50mm you would be better off with the Voigtlander 50mm 1.1. which has very good flare resistance. For the 85mm, the Samyang is probably the better option and much cheaper. These will give you ultimately more usable low-light shots in many situations.
The bad flare performance is due to the use of simple and ineffective coatings. See lenstip review for transmission measurements which show the coating performance to be on the level of single-layer coatings from the 60's.
