    50mm · f/0.9

    Overview

    The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Nocturnus 50 mm f/0.95 is a fast manual-focus lens for Sony E-mount, noted for its speed and bokeh. Optically, it shares the same design as the Mitakon Speedmaster 50/0.95, though Meyer-Optik claims the mechanical structure, including aperture blades, is handmade in Germany with German suppliers. Build quality is solid, but the smooth focusing ring lacks texture. It suits photographers seeking an ultra-fast lens with distinctive rendering, but potential buyers should consider its similarity to the cheaper Mitakon.
