What this lens is good for
Creative low-light work
The extraordinary f/0.95 aperture, the fastest wide lens for the system, gathers light no autofocus lens can match and produces a distinctive rendering wide open. It is a deliberate creative tool for photographers who want a unique look in available darkness rather than a do-everything lens.
Astro and night scenes
A 21mm full-frame equivalent at f/0.95 captures faint night scenes and starfields with very short exposures. Manual focus is no obstacle for night work, where you set focus to infinity anyway, and the superb metal build suits careful, deliberate shooting. Full guide →
