Still can't wait to see samples of both the old and new versions.

Sounds like the new version is mainly about combatting reflections and vignetting.

I want to own at least one stupidly fast lens for the A7R, it's looking very much like it's going to be this one, especially after seeing this comparison with the much more expensive Hyperprime T/0.95, the fact that the Mikaton has an E mount is icing on the cake.

Improved coatings better hood can only be a good thing, unless the "pro" version commands a significant premium (feels more like a minor "mkII" update to me )

This lens with A7s would make pretty nice combo for low light and artistic video work. The wide open sharpness looks quite usable even for 4k video.

It seems like the price does not change. Actually MX camera delivers the pro version for everybody who has ordered the old one but has not received it yet.

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



DWT:

They change it to smaller size, from 67 to 58mm - not the other way around.

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.

The Facebook post says exactly what's above, filter size changed to 67mm. Did MX get it wrong?

what's your source for this info? I ask as if you look at the original Steve Huff review you can see the lens barrel is marked "58".

What I'm reading is "The dark knight" version isnt even out yet. I'm hoping the coatings is to fix the color cast of this lens. Using my brother's copy, and there's a yellowish cast compared to the 50L.

https://www.flickr.com/search/?tags=speedmaster50mmf095&sort=relevance&user_id=77300569%40N04

sharpness is about as good as the 50L both wide open. Bokeh noticeably better with the speedmaster:

if there's a newer version, I might as well wait.

They're saying all lenses shipped from now on are the Dark Knight, and they're expecting a large shipment of the new version next week to fill all the current orders with it. I asked MX if I ordered today which version would I get, they say everyone will get the revised version.

Edit: Charlie, just looked through that thread you linked, the 0.95 looks really good. The more I see from this lens, the more I want it.

Really curious to see how the Dark Knight tests against the previous version. I'm surprised there was a change so quickly.

Steve Huff is selling is copy 00001 for $915 if anyone is interested.
I'm seriously tempted but I would rather get an M mount lens

it's great to have options and it's a very reasonable price for a sexy f0.95. there are a lot of nice 50s on the market already the FD, minolta, leica m and r, there will be a lot of interesting comparisons to come

I actually just received one today that I won in eBay. I was the only bidder(while I was in Hawaii)...he had a buy it now price for $11xx, and starting price of $899...I put $899 down and won! It's not the "Dark Knight" but so far, the few pics I've taken seem pretty good! Just got back from Hawaii this morn at 5am, and just now got to downloading pics to the 'puter...but I'll get back. I'll post pics either here or the A7 thread...

Didn't realise this lens was as expensive (relatively) as it is. I have the Cosina 55/1.2 and with other superb f1.2 options like the Revuenon (same lens as the Cosina), Porst etc. at much lower prices I'm wondering why everyone is so interested in this Mitakon ?
