Could be. It'll all come down to how it performs at f/0.95

People seem to take to the slr magic 50/0.95. I hope this does well too.

They only sell it through their eBay store. It was 799 but now it's 899. Still not a bad deal in my opinion

Leica needs to wake up and release an f/.9 lens, to sprint away from this pack of pretenders to the throne.

(actually the results from some of those other lenses, purely from online viewing, look very nice)

That's odd. Send them a message. I wasn't expecting to hear anything for awhile. But I ordered it Thursday and got an email yesterday morning.

Well scratch my earlier post about the lens shipping. Just got this email via eBay

"Dear Customer,
Since the pre-order event had been started, we have received a lot of orders. The order size was much bigger than we expected. We apologize for us had not arranged the shipping on the date we promised.
The Pre-order of Zhongyi (Mitakon) SpeedMaster Series FE 50mm f/0.95 will be first shipped on or before 18 June. If you have any question, feel free to contact us."

Best regards

Doesn't look too bad. Bokeh is a bit busy, very much like old 50/1.2 nikkor etc.

Bokeh is busy, I agree. But it has that 'vintage' character to it. In my opinion at least.

They still haven't shipped. I ended up canceling my order. I'm going to wait until they sort everything out and make multiple batches. They had some sort of issue with the first production before shipping, hence the delay.

Ahh I see. I saw some for sale on eBay so I assumed that it was out already.

I think a lot of people don't seem to like the bokeh at all though

i'm glad that i opted out while waiting for it since MXcamera just announced a new upgraded version for this lens.

The "The Dark Knight" major upgrade specifications are:
1. Improved lens coating, which makes the lens have better performance
2. Filter thread changed to 67mm from 58mm
3. New bayonet lens hood to prevent light flare and improve "back light "s situation performance.

1. Nice
2. Doesn't that mean it'll be bigger though? For a camera like the A7 series, smaller is better
3. Nice
