Aptly named, the silver Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95, from Mitakon Zhongyi, is an extra fast normal-length prime lens for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. The bright f/0.95 design greatly benefits working in low-light conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for producing characteristic selective focusing imagery. The optical design includes one extra-low dispersion element, which suppresses color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy. The lens supports rangefinder coupling and its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 3.3' away. Also, a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh quality.
