    Overview

    The Noktor HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 is a super-fast lens for Micro Four Thirds, offering a unique f/0.95 aperture at a relatively low price ($750-$1100). Optically, it is soft and low-contrast wide open, with "dirty" color, becoming sharp only when stopped down to f/1.4 or f/2. Build quality is excellent, with smooth focus and iris rings. It suits videographers or those prioritizing speed over sharpness, but alternatives like the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.1 offer better performance for a bit more.
