A 50mm F0.95 Full Frame Lens for Under $400 

Bring an AF version too 🙏🏼

@@mounishvijay3840 You know that this emote is not "praying", right?

@@m4rcin847 who said anything about praying

@@mounishvijay3840 Has any company ever made an f/0.95 with AF? It would probably make the lens absolutely massive.

It's not about nailing focus, its about boukaaah

@@towermedia5940 Um, ok

OK and am with you but more importantly, IT TESTS your camera's ability to perform or not, a 10x or more, magnification (In manual lens mode and on a pre shuttler release auto mode)

Its coming soon!

@@ArthurR Expecting!!

canon does this, however only works for lenses with electronic contacts.

Fuji xt1 and newer have it)

Yes. Leica shooters (who actually buy Leica glass) are not too offended over their cost...they already know you have to pay to play in the Leica world.

You read my mind. Only the other wish or love would be to see that product in near this lens' price tag! OK, I am a dreamer!

Well, if you happen to buy one please share a link to some cropped or even raw images in a comment here 😆👍

Well, for the adventurous, you can simply buy it yourself from Amazon and evaluate it to see if it meets your needs. If not, Amazon has an excellent return policy.

I agree. My first few full-frame lenses were AF. I wanted to add some fast primes to my kit; however, due to budget constraints I ended-up deciding-on MF lenses. I have the MF lenses Samyang for Sony full-frame: - 12mm F2.8 - 14mm F2.8 - 85mm F1. 4 Especially with the 85 F1.4, this really got me into focusing with Peaking and the EVF, and now I'm super used to it 😎 I might pick-up this "Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 MF" to replace my "Sony 50mm F1.8 AF" for portrait photography 😉

That would be a challenge!

Have you tried star photos?

Fair enough. A faint outline.

Because stopping lens down is impossibru? :D

@@PosranaRegistrace of course but then you loose light.

Yes, it is coming.

Yes, there are many social platforms. Life use and work use are two big scenes. Each lens has its own characteristics, and everyone has their own needs. After all, many people still have a lot of lens groups. When you need it , It’s fun to use

@@brightinstar Definitely agreed. You have a banger of a product. A little hint from my end, watch out for Nikon Z and Canon RF mount and if you guys can invest in a reverse engineering process to get something out for a Z5 or an RP, the lens would sell like hot cakes. There is a huge market for people who is just starting out with full frame, and as we all know, decent optics at 35mm and above is notoriously expensive. Good luck.

I am not toucing any Chinese lens anymore. I burnt my fingers with a Chinese made focal length reducer. One of the screws fell into the lightbox and damaged the shutter. The thread of the screw was over-threaded and the screw was not even secured with glue. If one goes manual then only Voigtlander, Zeiss or not at all.

The difference is that we are a full-frame lens, RF/E/Z/L

@@brightinstar Thanks.... my mistake, i forgot about that.

The lens is a full-frame micro-single mount, RF/Z/L/E, for these cameras, for old lenses, an adapter ring is required

I believe for full frame, it is the F1.05 version

With RF mount and Z mount

I have a TTartisans 0.95, and its actually not as hard to focus as you'd think. Definitely is usable beyond architecture. The main thing is you have to be wise on your distance from the subject + the sharpness of this particular lens I think makes everything somewhat soft. It looks like he misses, but its just the lens crumbling in the sun. I've done talking head videos with no camera man, at 0.95, and it turns out fine suprisingly. Even when pixel peeping after. The TTartisans is the way to go.

Source? I've seen many comparisons of the TTArtisans 50mm 0.95 (880 USD) vs the original Leica Noctuilux (13,000 USD), and the TTartisans looks nearly exactly the same. The only difference is the Leica is actually worse in sharpness chart tests, while have very very slightly more light. But nowhere near a 0.4 difference. Without T stop measurements, I think you're going to be prone to underestimating the Chinese versions.

Its definitely 'different"

The lens has its own use scene. The night scene needs a better sense of atmosphere and experience. The aperture of F0.95 will bring new photography experience. These are not brought by F1.4 and F1.2. Slowly Go to focus and enjoy photography slowly

@@brightinstar You are missing the point. The lens does not perfom at f0,95. There are quality issues. I also don't care if a lens is f0,95 or f2.8 and the performance is weak. I have been using manual focus only lense for 30 years and I know what slow photograpgy means. I also know when a lens can deliver something. Unfortunately, this lens has no benefits towards good photography.

Thank you for your request. For the F0.95 lens, the sense of atmosphere is more important than the sharpness. The size, weight, and price will all determine the relationship of sharpness, but it is still more important to define the use scene of the lens. Take it out at night and take some photos with a different experience. It’s fun

​@@brightinstar I get it, but the voightlander 40mm 1.4 has been around for a long time and is known for its sharpness and vintage characteristics for $400. Granted it's not a f/0.95, but 1.4 isn't that far off, and it's superior in every way except the aperture. At this price point, the only real reason to get an f 0.95 is to brag that you have an f/0.95, because a couple of stops doesn't mean much when you're at 50mm handheld and already at 1/10th of a second or worse at night time. At that point, it doesn't matter if you're using f/1.4 or f/0.95, you'll be using a tripod anyways. The range of low light usefulness is soo narrow with fast lenses in general. 5 minutes at sunset can mean the difference between taking a shot handheld, or using a tripod, or upping the ISO substantially. I think most people would rather shoot at 400 ISO with better lens characteristics, rather than at 100 ISO with this lens. Which they can already do, at the same price point, with the voightlander 40mm 1.4. It's hard to say who exactly this lens would be for, even if people are buying it, I feel like they will eventually wonder why they bought it. Granted I don't think the price is outrageous, but considering other existing lenses, this one becomes a bit more than redundant, because it's not only priced similarly, it's also not as good as the other existing lenses, even if it is standing alone with f/0.95, that can only go soo far. Now if it was a $250 lens, then yeah, it would pull ahead just out of the affordability. I'm not saying that's what it should be, if it even is affordable to make it that cheap, but that's the only thing I can picture that would make it pull ahead of the voightlander, otherwise the voightlander is the better choice every time. Another problem with f/0.95 is that it's not only limited in low light usability as discussed previously, but also in daylight usability. You need some pretty fast shutter speeds to take daylight pictures at f/0.95. Having owned f/1.8 lenses, I know that on a bright day, even 1/8000th shutter speed can be not enough to not blow out the exposure of the sky at ISO 100. So outdoor daylight use at f/0.95 purely for the slim DOF, would need shutter speeds that most camera's, even professional ones, don't come close to having, except with electronic shutter rather than mechanical, and there are many popular camera's that wouldn't even have an electronic shutter speed fast enough to shoot f/0.95 on a bright sunny day, making this lens completely useless at f/0.95 under those common circumstances. I think this lens could have had some characteristics artificially induced. For example, if the DOF was mostly flat in the center but more curved toward the edges to make very blurry/smeary edges, but very sharp in the center, you could have had a really unique lens that simulated old style wet plate images. If you don't know what wet plate images look like, I suggest you give them a google image search and look at a few dozen. Now that is something that would set your product and business apart and could potentially put you on the map, creating a very well liked "sense of atmosphere". I'd buy that lens, and I'd imagine that tons of people would flock to it too, I could see it becoming a long standing trend for everything from instagram portraits to landscape. It is a look that is just waiting to come back into style....it actually never went out of style, it's just that the lenses for them haven't been made for any new cameras, only for very old large format cameras. If I were you and I had the proper departments ear, that's exactly what I would be pushing to develop at least as a prototype to see how it turns out, then put it in full production if it turns out well. It seems almost like lens baby territory, but lens baby lenses are primarily just toys. The wet plate look is a tried and true look and style, while lens baby lenses are more silly in nature. The wet plate look is a serious, evocative look that creates a sense of atmosphere, and gravity to go along with it.
