A groundbreaking addition to the world of photography, the Zhong Yi Optics Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Mark III Lens is now available for the Leica L-mount, complementing its existing compatibility with Sony FE, Canon R, Nikon Z, and Leica M mounts. As the first-ever f/0.95 lens for L-mount cameras, this lens offers an exceptional opportunity for photographers seeking to enhance their creative expression with a full-frame mirrorless system. Compatible with a wide range of L-mount cameras, including the Sigma FP, Panasonic S1 and S1H, and Leica SL and SL2, this lens supports the complete line of L-mount devices.The Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 lens excels in providing photographers with excellent control over depth of field, allowing for the creation of an enchanting and dreamy atmosphere. Its ultra-fast aperture of f/0.95 facilitates a shallow depth of field, enabling perfect separation between the main subject and the background. The lens's 9-blade iris design produces soft, enticing bokeh with perfectly round shapes, adding a romantic touch to your images.Engineered for extraordinary image quality, the lens features an 11-element, 8-group optical formula that significantly enhances image clarity and contrast, even when used wide open. An extra-low dispersion element effectively minimizes color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring that colors are rendered vividly and true to life, closely mirroring what the human eye perceives.For photographers specializing in low-light and night photography, the Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 is an ideal choice. Its ultra-wide aperture allows for consistent reproduction of light sources across the entire frame, eliminating spiky coma flare and excelling in capturing captivating night scenes with ease.Constructed with premium metal and meticulous craftsmanship, the lens offers high durability and excellent operability. The precision-engineered aperture control ring and clear lens markings provide a solid, professional feel, enhancing the user experience.Videographers will appreciate the de-clicked aperture ring, which allows for smooth transitions in exposure control, and the nearly 360-degree long focus throw, which offers precise focus point adjustments. The lens also features a 67mm filter thread size, making it easy to attach screw-in photography filters for added versatility in your creative projects.

This is a fabulous manual focus lens that really works well on the Nikon Z 6 II in my case.  Beautifully built like a tank, ?all? metal, very sharp and clear at 0.95, just a fun piece of kit to use. Focus ring is smooth and precise. For the price, this lens is hard to beat. 

That being said, my only major complaint is the lack of electronics to communicate with the device. A minor complaint is related to the de-clicked aperture ring, it is great for video, but since I shoot primarily images, I would prefer one that is clicked. A switch for click/n0-click would have been a nice compromise.

Well built and beautiful results

Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. It's great for portraiture and indoors shots and not so great as a general purpose walkaround lens due to the flaring and bokeh at longer distances. 3.5 stars

Pros:
+f/0.95!
+Creamy bokeh for things closer than ~5 feet
+Solidly built
+Long focus throw making it very easy to focus with peaking
+Performance from ~f/1.6 onward

Neutral/Average:
*Colors
*Contrast
*Dreamy at f/0.95, especially when focusing on objects closer than 3 feet away
*Performance at f/0.95 (usable and comparable to competitors)

Cons:
-The lens has major problems with point light sources at night leading to wild lens flares.
-Heavy
-Nervous bokeh for things further than ~5 feet
-Lens hood attaches loosely
