If you need a super quality überfast lens the only way to go until now was the super expensive [shoplink ‘Noctilux 0.95’ ebay]Leica Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. But finally SLR Magic made a cheaper version of the lens without to take compromise in terms of image quality. And the lens is currently being tested on many mirrorless cameras and you can check them out to see if the lens really delivers what it promises:
SLR MAGIC 50mm 0.95 on M9 & Fuji XPro1 at f8photography (Click here).
SLR Magic on the GH2 at EosHD (Click here).
SLR Magic on the GH2 and on the NEX-7 at 3DKraft (Click here).
Looks pretty good!

What an incredible lens! We might need more test to see more of its characteristics, but I’m convinced so far. The low contrast situation is unfortunate however.
This video scared me… 🙁
But what a lens!! 🙂
They are making incredible lenses. Very nice.
Interesting. Very interested to see how this compares to the Voightlander .95… and would like to see this in nikon F mount, a lens like this screams to be on the D800/E
There is no point to compare this lens to the Voigtlander .95. They’re not even in the same league (one for FF, one for m4/3) and price point (3k-4.5k vs. 1k).
The point is if you own an M-mount camera for stills and a mirrorless if you wanted to go digital but didn’t want to afford an M9.
Wait, what the hell am I saying. That’s probably 20-30 people tops.
That doesn’t make sense since you can’t use the Voigtlander 0.95 on your M-mount camera. And I doubt any M shooter would go for m4/3 system as their digital back-up (the 2x factor).
