Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a way to calibrate the focusing for my Leica rangefinder if the focus is not accurate?

A: Being that the lens is manual focus, any calibration would be done through the manufacturer.

Q: 2. I can't find any 88mm clip on MB adapters from ARRI. Is there any other alternative to use these with the LMB?

A: The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster S35 20, 35 & 50mm T1 Cine 3-Lens Bundle (Canon RF) have 77mm filter threads, the front diameter is 88mm, but this doesn't mean you need an 88mm clip necessarily, just 77mm.

Q: 3. What is the outer diameter of the front of the lens? What clip on mattebox size would fit?

Q: 5. Wondering if this will fit on a Red Epic-M with a Leica Mount. This is a camera with a non-exchangeable OLPF so I won’t be able to use a Leica OLPF.

A: It has a Leica mount. It is a 50mm so it does not have a protruding rear element. Therefore if should fit. This is a test situation since there are no reports of its use because it is not yet available form B&H.

Q: 6. does this work with canon 90 d?

A: Yes this lens is compatible with your 90D.

Q: 7. What is the warranty on this lens?

A: Yes, Limited 5-Year Warranty.

Q: 8. Does this lens provide focal plane illumination that is sufficiently near telecentric to allow the f/2.8 pixel condensers in the Canon focal plane to work, out to the corners of the image?

A: The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Canon EF (B&H# MI50095CEF), while non tele-centric, will allow for cameras possessing a Canon EF mount to attain critical focus throughout the focal plane. Naturally, there is some curvature to that. As is always the case with fast prime lenses, the center is sharpest, but by about f/2 the image circle in general is sharp enough for typical photographic portraiture usage in even the non central region of the frame. Of course, whether or not that is enough for your usage will depend on your needs and preferences. Stop down to f/8 to achieve the wider depth of field that you need if you want the corners to be their sharpest despite natural field curvature.

Q: 9. Will this work on a Canon Eos 3 ?

A: The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Canon EF can be used with the Canon EOS 3 35mm Camera Body. They share the same lens mount for manual controls.

Q: 10. How sharp is this lens full opened?

A: When you have it wide open (T1-1.4) it will feel more like a vintage lens. It will be ok in terms of sharpness and have low contrast. Around T2 you will notice that it will get more contrast and get sharper. The lens performs its best in regards to sharpness and contrast between T4 and T5.6.
