Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 50mm
Its f/0.95 maximum aperture on a 50mm DSLR lens enables extreme subject isolation and strong low-light capture, unique for Canon EF mount cameras. The 11-blade diaphragm and all-metal build provide smooth, artistic bokeh and precise manual focus control, rewarding deliberate shooting. This lens is ideal for portrait photographers who prioritize shallow depth-of-field and unique bokeh over autofocus convenience.
