Product Information

Shot wide open this lens has some of the best looking bokeh I’ve seen in a long time. Taking the price into consideration this shouldn’t even be possible. It’s really that good. Good to hear you can still get work done with your models. funny story — there’s a hotel we’ve stayed at for years. Friends with all the staff, including a flamboyant woman in reception. Turns out she does theater burlesque — competitive, no less, and it has to be G-rated. With COVID shutting down all kinds of theater, I think I’ll suggest she use remote too, and set up the contests online. A client lens for me is the best lens I can use which normally means sharp but pretty photos. For my Leica wedding photography I really enjoy the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 lens for example. See below for that and more 35mm lens options.

In the end we are in a similar situation here as we were with the TTArtisan 21mm 1.5. At this price point there is no alternative with the same specs available, but there are clearly some compromises you should be aware of, which I tried to outline in this review. For most portrait applications this will not be a problem though. Bokeh Sony A7rII | TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 | f/0.95 I will only cover the really obvious alternatives in detail here, but if you ended up here by accident and you are looking for a slower 50mm lens or even an AF lens may have a look at our Guide to 50mm lenses for Sony E-mount. E-mount As a consequence of your camera nerdery, you may have acquired a fetish for so called “ultra-fast” prime lenses, such as the Canon “Dream” lens, or one of the most widely lusted after and expensive examples, the Leica Noctilux 50mm 0.95Must have big bugs on quality for the future such as degradation of optical elements and mechanic elements,

The TTartisan M-mount line might be even better built than the 7artisans lenses. The TTartisan M-mount lenses feel so much like their Leica lens counterparts that it’s almost scary. I think I understand your point about corner sharpness for lenses like these— let’s see if I got this right. Say you’re using this wide open to get a portrait. Corner sharpness might even be a distraction from the effect you’re trying to get? I was hoping for some improvements as compared to the Mitakon, certainly in the areas where I had some doubts, but it seems that hope was mainly in vain. Maybe the biggest improvement is the build quality, which always seemed to be the Achilles heel of the Mitakon (for that amount, one would expect a lens that doesn’t easily fall apart). I think in the end, I am going to take the smart route, and go for the Voightlander. 0.95 sounds so good (and one cannot discount the bragging rights :)), but seems to limit the versatility of a lens too much. The center gets better fast as you stop down and shows good resolution figures at f/1.4 and really good ones with high contrast at f/2.0. Talking about 9cm of DOF wide open, notice how it’s not that easy to nail it on the chart. 9cm is also theoretical: portraits are a lot more sensitive than that and getting the eyes in sharp focus requires perfect calibration even at this distance.This Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 has a LEICA M mount. Focus and metering work perfectly on every LEICA M camera, from 1954's LEICA M3 through today's newest LEICA M-A, LEICA MP, LEICA M10 Monochrom, LEICA M10-P and LEICA M10-R.

Hello Wojtek, thanks for your comments! I agree with you, I was expecting something more from this lens but we have to remember what the specification is in relation to its price. Probably we are looking for too much performance for a small price, and it just isn't possible...or is it? Just try the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F1.2: I find it spectacular, and it costs just a little more than the TTArtisan. And the size is really small for the spec, I used it as my main lens for a long time. Having said that, my Planar is so small and light that it's just a pleasure to walk around with it and shoot with it. And both the Nokton and the Planar are consistently giving good results, no nasty surprises for me. As for corner sharpness, if you’re shooting a portrait at wide open aperture, chances are, you’re trying to isolate the subject anyway, so I don’t think a little softness in the corners will be a problem. Of course, this is just my opinion :). Yes, it might even be somewhat of a distraction to have something ultra sharp. Plus, most lenses at large open aperture have some vignetting, which helps further isolate the subject.Whereas the Summicron is near perfect, optically corrected to be flat and neutral, the TTArtisan 50mm F/0.95 has a bold signature. Because the price on western market is final price after all export costs and with the country costs in which they are sold … … gap is big very very big. When the major cameras and lens makers will close like in garment industry and so on, … Also note that I focused on the corners for these shots, if you focus on the center the corners will look slightly worse. Bokeh, the feel, character or quality of out-of-focus areas as opposed to how far out of focus they are, is very good. That's the whole point of this lens.
