Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 17mm f/0.95 17mm
Its ultra-fast f/0.95 maximum aperture enables handheld low-light shooting and extreme subject isolation on Micro Four Thirds bodies. The manual focus design and stepless aperture ring provide precise, silent control for video work, while the compact 461g build makes it highly portable. This lens is best for astrophotographers and cinematographers needing a wide 17mm field of view with dramatic shallow depth-of-field.
