Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0, 95 Mark III Lens for Canon RF Mirrorless Cameras

anyone who buys this know what they are getting and only the uninitiated are disappointed but to quote a reviewer " the first sample showed some onion ring structures in out of focus light sources which the manufacturer told me was only due to a faulty mold of the aspherical element." so if the onions are there they should not be though all the other things should. Also beware of adding a uv filter as night shots will suffer worse ghosting and flare.

great lens. softest lens ever for sony full frame but best bokeh 'obviously'. colors look great too. manual focus with the smallest area to focus in on. meaning..any little movement can create an out of focus shot but as long as you shoot in bursts or have patience..it'll be just fine. the extra work and how nice they come out can be rewarding, so this lens is plenty fun. definitely wouldnt shoot any weddings with this though.------after a couple months of use..its sharper than i previously thought. although still soft compared to many others wide open. if you stop down it becomes very sharp but if you shoot with lights in the backround, the bokeh balls are very octagonal and noticable. (non rounded aperture blades. so even at 1.2 or 1.4 it immediately becomes apparent) (perfectly circular though @ f/0.95) ...purple/green fringing is the absolute worst compared to other lenses (@f/0.95) but can be corrected in photoshop (or just refuse to shoot people in dark clothes against the sun).. but something to keep in mind. i still love this lens and am going to use it whenever possible because you get some of the dreamiest shots possible. ESPECIALLY when paired with flash or good lighting. also the best lens to shoot at night in my camera bag. the ISO doesnt have to be raised nearly as high as my 55mm zeiss 1.8 lens. but to me, this lens makes shooting fun. makes my very fast af lenses seem boring and more just point and shoot and not engaging at all. the feel and look is very premium and all metal. will feel like a dumbbell when you attach it to your camera for the first time.I watched manny ortiz's review on youtube before pulling the trigger on this. Saw the photos that came out and knew I needed this ASAP. but its up to you. if you are a professional looking for the best portrait lens. then skip this. if you are a hobbyist or a professional trying to make dreamy thumbnails or the craziest shots for instagram..then buy this. it is a very sharp lens until you zoom in lolthe photo i included was during a parade that was going on, just 3 days after i got this. dont mind the weird crop or angle..i know it was a bad shot. but i was literally just shooting everything possible that night. this photo i was able to nail focus and the subject was actually pretty far from me, and far for a 50mm. so if the firefighter was closer, the background wouldve literally looked like a blurred water paint. but this is just an example for night shots and how bokeh will look even if the subject is farther away. but trust me, if you have a flash, and possibly a closer subject...the pictures will come out incredible.
