Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Leica M, Black

An exceptional choice for photographers seeking unparalleled image quality and aesthetic appeal, the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Leica M mount is a masterpiece of optical engineering. This lens is renowned for producing seductive bokeh and delivering sharp, clear images even when used at its maximum aperture of f/0.95. This ultra-large aperture makes it one of the fastest lenses available for Leica cameras, offering photographers remarkable control over depth of field. The lens's ability to create a soft, dreamy ambience with a perfectly isolated subject is enhanced by its 9 rounded aperture blades, which produce a beautifully circular bokeh that is highly sought after by photographers.

Compared to its counterparts in the Mitakon Speedmaster series for Sony E, Canon RF, and Nikon Z mounts, this Leica M-mount version offers superior sharpness, particularly on mirrorless cameras. The lens's optical design, featuring 11 elements in 8 groups, ensures high definition and sharpness even at wide-open apertures. Extra-low dispersion elements effectively suppress color fringing and chromatic aberration, while the color rendering is meticulously calibrated to deliver greater contrast on Leica cameras. Unlike other f/0.95 lenses that optimize sharpness only at specific distances, the Mitakon 50mm excels at both portrait distances and infinity, making it one of the most versatile 50mm lenses on the market.

The ultra-wide f/0.95 aperture is also ideal for night photography, offering improved sharpness and coma correction that outperforms other 50mm lenses in this genre. The lens is designed to fully support Leica cameras' unique Rangefinder Coupling focusing system, providing more accurate, convenient, and quicker focusing performance through the camera's viewfinder. This ensures precise manual lens shooting control.

For Nikon Z and Sony E mount users, the lens can be adapted to autofocus using third-party adapters such as the Megadap MTZ11 and Techart TZM-01/LM-EA7. These adapters enable autofocus modes including AF-S, AF-C, AF-F, and face/eye detection with in-body image stabilization (IBIS), making focusing with the f/0.95 aperture effortless.

The Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens is available in both matte black and silver finishes, catering to the high aesthetic standards of Leica users. It features a durable metallic exterior with a smooth aperture control ring and engraved markings, exuding a solid feel of precision. The lens is elegantly packaged in a specially designed black leather box, underscoring its premium quality and attention to detail.
