Mitakon 50mm F/0.95 gets major update

In order to meet demand, the Mitakon 50mm/ F0.95 has been put into mass production with a major specification upgrade. It seems all orders will be shipping out August 23rd at the latest, and a major US distributor B&H Photo was found for the ZY Optics brand. The product they are currently seems to be the old 58mm version.

The newly updated Mitakon 50mm F/0.95 will be called “The Dark Knight”  and will have an Improved lens coating, the Filter thread changed to 67mm from 58mm and a new bayonet lens hood to prevent light flare and improve backlight performance.

I’ve been using the Mitakon 50mm F/0.95 with the Sony A7s and like it even more than on the Sony A7r.  Check out the brand website for more news in a few days. For now, you can read my other Mitakon posts here.
