UNSCORED
What We Like
+Exceptionally fast f/0.95 aperture enables low-light photography with reduced ISO and cleaner images
+9-blade diaphragm produces beautiful bokeh and shallow depth of field control
+Compact lightweight design at 600g with portable form factor
+Close minimum focusing distance of 0.3m for close-up photography capabilities
+Advanced optical design with ED, aspherical, and ultra-high refractive index elements minimizes aberrations and distortion
Worth Knowing
Manual focus only with no autofocus system
Not weather sealed, limiting use in harsh environmental conditions
No built-in image stabilization for handheld shooting
APS-C format only; will vignette if used on full-frame sensors

General

About This Lens
The Mitakon Speedmaster 20mm f/0.95 is an ultra-fast, manual focus lens designed for Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm APS-C cameras. It features a construction of 13 elements arranged into 8 groups and features one aspherical lens, one extra-low dispersion (ED) lens, and four ultra-high refractive index optics. The lens has a compact and lightweight design, weighing in at just 600g. The bright aperture allows photographers to use lower ISOs and achieve cleaner, less noisy images in low light environments such as at night or in a dark room.
