[APS-C] Paired with the Canon M6, this is a perfect travel lens. I was able to get great shots of the Sydney NYE fireworks with this lens, handheld. Everyone around me has big dSLRs and bigger tripods. I was able to take photos as easily as the smartphone people, but my image quality was much, much higher.

I even managed to get an acceptable photo of Orion and the Orion Nebula with the help of an undersized Gorillapod.

[APS-C] Between the color, bokeh, and sharpness of this lens... WOW. When using it on my Fuji xPro2, the images are almost indistinguishable from those I get using my Leica m240 and 50mm f1.4 Summilux. Obviously, not as good at a micro-level. But it really, really, surprised me just how similar the images looked (FYI, I primarily shoot street and travel photography).
I don't know if every lens (this model) is as good or well made as the one I got, but mine is fantastic! 
If I could change anything, it would be for click-stops on the aperture ring. As I tend to shoot this lens wide open, it's disappointing to see—after I've taken the shot—that the aperture ring moved accidentally while I focused. No biggie. But that would be the one thing I'm unhappy about.
And again, as I like to shoot wide-open, I also bought the B+W Variable ND filter. Highly recommended.
My final words... Get this lens!

[1.61 lb] This lens has soul. Nailing focus can be more time consuming than f1.4 or f2, but honestly, soon as you take the shot, youll understand why the lens is a beast. For us fuji people, it really does feel like youre shooting film, but in luxury & w/out film stock...which for some of us, were too busy for. Only issue is the aperture wheel being in front...its really annoying & my copy moves butter smooth w/almost perfect friction, but even brushing against it you might move 1/3 stop w/out knowing & forget you even brushed it while in the moment. Im assuming it had to be that way...? but its constantly something I hate.


My only gripe isnt really with the lens, but customs/conversion rates. I ended up paying frickin $847 for this lens to goto canada....thats insane. INSANE. if id have known fees & all that stupid stuff was in the way i wouldnt have bought this thing. ok maybe close to $700...fine i get it. BUT COME ONNNNNNN!!!! Canadians always get the short end w/technology...so frustrating. 


Id upload photos but apparently even the jpgs are too large. If its an issue of quality, dont worry about it. Even wide open this things TACK sharp (assuming you can nail focus in the first place). Just make sure youre cool paying for it.

[f/0.95] I just fell in love with this lens. It is not that easy to master the focus when wide open, hand held and using live-view. But the images that it produces are very nice. The Bokeh is like creamy butter. I recommande this lens for people who like using manuel lenses.

[1.61 lb] I was skeptical about purchasing this lens. I previously had a Rokinon 50:1.2 and it was ok, just ok. I was able to focus with it without issue but it just lacked the magic wide open. After receiving the Mitakon 35:0.95 I was floored. The image wide open (I only want this for wide open photography) is amazing. It is sharp in the center where it counts and the bokeh is probably the best I have ever seen with my lenses. I am using it with a Sony A6600 which has a nice feature set for manual focusing. I am able to nail the focus most of the time assuming I don’t move (a fraction of an inch will put the image outside the focus zone)when hand holding it.  Not an issue with a tripod. I am using a 3 stop ND filter so I can shoot outside in full daylight wide open. The A6600 conveniently has a low ISO of 50 which sometimes allows me to shoot without the ND filter.  This lens has the magic and it is a keeper.

[f/16] This lens is not great, it is INCREDIBLE, SUPERB and a JOY !!!
The quality of the body and the optics, one of the best out there in the photo world.

[APS-C] This lense is amazing wide open!
Colors, contrast and sharpness are all there.
This is a must artistic lense!
Just get it, you will not be disappointed!

[Canon EF-M] This lens is simply amazing - especially at it's price point. I have owned and used 3 different versions of the Leica Noctilux over the years and this lens is 95% of the Noctilux quality at a fraction of the cost. It works perfectly on my Fuji Xpro 2 and XH1 and focusing is quite accurate and easy using focus peaking. The only down side is that the aperture shows as F/1 in exif data as there is no electronic coupling. The image quality and bokeh, however, must be seen to be believed. Even at F/0.95 the center is super sharp and crisp. Color saturation is very similar to the Leica equivalent as is it's micro contrast. CA and fringing are slightly present wide open but easily correctable in post processing. The only thing I dislike about this lens is the clickless aperture ring but, lets face it, you buy this kind of optic to shoot wide open anyway so it really is a non-issue. Build quality is superb and image quality is unbelievable . To get slightly better image quality you'll need to spend $10,000+ for the Leica and that is only marginally better. There are comparisons between the 2 lenses on the net and you'd be amazed at how hard it is to see a difference . Buy it!

[Manual Focus] Mahdollistaa työskentelyn jopa kuun valossa. Taustan sileä pehmennys antaa kuville erityisen ilmeen. Objektiivi on hyvässä tasapainossa XPRO2 kanssa, käsitarkennus on miellyttävä ja kokonaisuus huokuu laatua. Täydellä aukolla on tykättävä vinjetoinnista

[1.61 lb] It has some defects like flare or soft edges, but definitely beautiful lens especially for portraits. It has a character. Sharp in the middle. shallow DOF due to f/0,95. There is no connection between lens and the camera so you have to activate the shoot without lens option in the settings. I am using a xe3 and it is hidden in the menu set up button/dial setting shoot without lens.
