UNSCORED
What We Like
+Ultra-fast f/0.95 aperture excels in low light with shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh
+High optical quality with excellent center sharpness and creamy, smooth bokeh transitions
+Durable all-metal construction with precise manual focus control and smooth damping
+Versatile 25mm focal length (37.5mm equivalent on APS-C) suitable for portraits, landscapes, and street photography
+Excellent for video with minimal focus breathing and clickless aperture for smooth transitions
+Available in multiple mounts: Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon EOS-M, Micro Four Thirds, and Leica L
Worth Knowing
Limited sharpness and low contrast at maximum f/0.95 aperture; improves significantly at f/2.8-f/5.6
Heavy at 582g and bulky (99.7mm length) makes it front-heavy on smaller mirrorless bodies
Manual focus only with short focus throw may be challenging for fast-moving subjects or walk-around photography
No weather sealing limits usability in harsh conditions; heavy vignetting and flare at wide apertures in bright light
