[f/0.95] All in all a great lens, great all metal build extremely smooth and buttery aperture and focus ring great for video shooting. Much less chromatic abrasion and vignetting compared to the mitakon 50mm F0.95 (35mm sensor) and the MKI. Also much smaller and lighter. It's not a easy lens to use but with it you can get some really beautiful shots with. It also allows you to use very low powered lighting which is great for low budget shoots and kits. It also processes colors very nicely. Keep in mind: completely manual lens very shallow depth of field (hard to use for live events) with crop factor its more like a F1.4 Not as much of a wow factor as the 50mm F0.95

[55 mm (Front)] Well made, solid little lens. Haven’t had too much time with it, but so far have found it surprisingly sharp(at the centre at least) even wide open, with great bokeh and subject isolation. Aperture ring is at the front of the lens, not ideal, and this I found takes some getting used to...
Just one little annoyance: I thought the v2 came with a fancy hard boxy lens case, but the one I got from B&H came with a cheap soft lens case. Don’t know why, but anyways, just a small niggle

[55 mm (Front)] It's super sharp, with beautiful Bokeh.

[f/0.95] 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/0.95] I got a Fuji X-T3 mid 2019, and with it I got this lens. Got a few other lenses as well but this is the only one that’s stayed around the entire time with the camera. It’s what’s on my camera 95% of the time. Yeah it’s shallow depth of field and manual focus but give it a week or two and it becomes really easy since Fuji’s focus peaking is really great. Center resolves good sharpness actually but the corners are a mess unless you stop down and even then they’re never fantastic. But for candid photos or even in the studio there’s something about this lens that’s just special. Friends are always harping about the photos I take using it. For once people actually say “he has a nice lens” instead of the classic “he has a nice camera”. It flares when the sun is directly in frame but I’ve always found a way to make it really work in the photo, it’s not weird/annoying flaring. It’s really not that big considering how much light it gets. Also the focus ring is the most perfectly smooth/dampened of any lens I’ve ever used, even compared to old film lenses. Yeah autofocus is easy but honestly for the price of this lens and the results it can give it’s just so worth giving it a shot. I’ve been spoiled with low ISO’s even when indoors in the evening. This lens paired with my X-T3 is what got me back into photography (and got me into videography as well)! I’ve never been so uninterested in shopping around for other lenses. It’s a shame Mitakon doesn’t make any other APSC lenses like a 70mm prime (105mm equiv.) cos I’d buy it immediately.

[f/0.95] 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!

[FUJIFILM X] It takes awhile to get the hand of using this lens, as the depth of field is quite shallow at f0.95. But it produces excellent results. I use focus peaking to get the subject into proper focus. The distance scale is harder to use.

[55 mm (Front)] 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!

[55 mm (Front)] I bought this lens without having a solid review upon which to base my decision. That made me a little nervous, but the prospect of having a lens capable of great bokeh without the need for an adapter prompted me to take the chance. I love the 58mm f/1.2 and the 90mm f/2, but a 50mm full frame equivalent focal length is extremely versatile, and still my favorite. I have had the opportunity to shoot many test shots with the lens mounted on an X-Pro2 over the last few weeks. I can say I am very pleasantly surprised and will definitely be keeping the lens. This lens should appeal to video shooters (clickless f/stops) or portrait photographers (for the bokeh). If sharp, had the potential to be a great value for the money. So far, I have found the lens is very sharp, with slight falloff at the edges wide open just as one would expect. The focus barrel is very smooth with moderately long throw. The focus ring is slightly more narrow than I am used to, and it's to the rear of the f/stop ring, which initially resulted in me usually changing the f/stop and wondering why the focus wasn't moving. That just requires a little adjustment to the controls. For kicks, I shot a set of comparison photos using a Zeiss 32mm f/1.8 Touit and this lens, both at f/8 and compared them. Obviously, I manually focused this lens, but autofocused the Zeiss 32mm. At f/8, the Mitakon Zhongyi was usually sharper. This really surprised me, but indicated this would make a very versatile walk around lens if one did not need autofocus. The vignetting is characteristic of these fast lenses, certainly not more than you would expect from a high quality lens. I like that in portrait photography, and if you don't, it's easily corrected in post. The Chromatic aberration is very well controlled, and I never felt compelled to correct it. The contrast is excellent and color rendering superb. The bokeh is really pleasing and exactly what I was looking for in a lens like this. All that said,

[9] Buy it you'll definitely be happy
