Why are you doing clickbait for ebay?
Can’t you write the price? do you have to redirect us to ebay?
You may buy something else after looking at this lens, so Admin will get some profit $$$.
Well this is not the way to treat loyal readers
1.999 € for an APS-C only lens.
This will sell similarly little as the (quite good) Ibelux 40/0.85
Ibelux is a disastrous lens, absolutely awfull wide open. It selled also for 2000, then they lowered price to 800 when they realised there is fewer fools than they thought. This is most probably the same story again.
Are you expecting a 0.85 being sharp wide open?
I think a 0.85 has other application wide open than producing sharp images over the whole frame.
I agree that the IQ is in comparison to similarly priced primes inferior, but disastrous sounds a bit too hard.
I dont expect it to be tack sharp ofcourse, but noctilux and slr hyperprime are pretty sharp wide open. That said, slr magic is twice cheaper than ibelux was. And at least twice better. I wouldnt say ibelux wide open pics are even usable. And i am not talking about sharpness only, ibelux is ridden with aberrations. CA, glowing contours, etc.
This is all true, but I still wouldn’t call it a disastrous lens. It is a unique product and it has its uses, especially for indie filmmakers.

To me, this is disastrous. I cant imagine using it and not stopping it down for at least 2 stops. But than, all other options for 50 1.4 at half the price are infinitely better. I mean, everyone has their own tastes and preferences, but i really wouldnt know where and how to use this wide open.
The mitakon seems to be “Sharp-enough” wide open
He’s talking about the Ibelux.
No it’s not the same story. The Ibelux is a product created in collaboration by German IB/E Optics and Shanghai Transvision. It may not be interesting for most people, including myself, especially for that price, but it’s a quite unique product and if you want that look with your Super35 or APSC camera, you have no alternative.
To me, Meyer Optik plays in the same ballpark of stupidity as Sonyblad.
I wouldn’t bother about that fact alone if this such a product would have been Meyer Optik’s own invention. But it’s just a rewrapped Mitakon lens for triple the price. That’s what make this offer so ridiculous.
Oh yes i remember these moronns who bought Meyers name and who resell trioplan at insane price point. E mount became playground of miserable foolmilking optic companies… Zeiss is the only one respectfull lens maker for e mount as of today.
You mean the ones who use Cosina factories in Japan to save on cost? Not to say Japan is bad, but there’s clearly a miscommunication (or no communication) from Zeiss on this aspect and I’m pretty sure majority of people think they’re all made in Germany.
Do you know what are you talking about at all? Zeiss makes their lenses in Japan for like, 40 years now. There is no single person who buys their lenses and doesnt know that. Nobody tries to hide that. They make the best lenses in the world, whether they are made in Germany or Japan, i dont have a problem with that. I have a problem with frauds who sell shtty products for premium price.
I agree about Meyer Optik being a miserable foolmilking company. But I wouldn’t say Zeiss is the only respectable one. Voigtländer/Cosina or Veydra are also pretty respectable in my book.
Yes they are, i forgot them, but they are only recently in e-mount business. Most of all, i forgot Samyang… and those 3 lenses from Sigma 🙂 My biggest hopes are that Sigma will be coming back.
APS-C but the eBay link is telling me it’s for A7, A7s etc? Looks like FF to me.
The description, which is obviously from Meyer Optik, says APS-C only. Why should a rewrapped Mitakon miraculously become FF overnight?
Mind: this lens probably is another rebranded Mitakon-glass only, as about 80% of the MOG-lenses are. The rest is rebranded Helios. Buy Mitakon directly.
Was the Mitakon 10 in 7? I have no impression…
Yes it is:

And not such a good lens either:
http://www.lenstip.com/441.11-Lens_review-Mitakon_Speedmaster_35_mm_f_0.95_Summary.html
“The number of flaws of the tested lens and its rather steep price don’t make it an especially recommendable instrument. (…) I definitely don’t recommend the purchase.”
The Mitakon’s price is US$ 799.
If I had $2,200 (ish) to spend on a 35mm f/1 lens for APS, and I enjoyed wasting money in the pursuit of what ever the Noctronanamolous is pursuing… I think I’d buy the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens in Nikon or EF mount (it’s only 130 grams more than the Nahktrollus), and then fit it to a speed booster “Ultra,” giving the ART an effective aperture of f/1.0, an effective FOV of 35.5mm, and a slight bump in sharpness.
And then I’d wonder what to do with the $600 still left over after putting together a lens that in no conceivable way could do any worse than this German Nächtliche Emission. But if somehow I missed the “secret sauce” (I love, love, love love love, love, love that expression!!!), then please fill me in.
If I had $2k to spend, I would take the Canon 35/1.4L II instead, which is almost Otus-like perfection for half the Otus price, but with AF and weather sealing.
That lens is, together with the Sigma Art lenses, what I call true innovation. Not that stup*d sh*t that Meyer Optik is trying to accomplish.
Yowzers, I won’t come to you to try and sell my first “innovative” lens– whenever that great idea comes to mind. 😉
For the silly sake of argument, though, I think there is a (maybe minuscule) market for a 50mm f/1.0. I’m not a part of that market, but I’ve shot on light-starved sensors, and anything to get another stop could be worth the money then (depending on what you’re doing, your budget, etc.).
The image in Ebay is of the Mitakon 50/0.95
No, that Photo is from an early prototype which was a Mitakon with an added bayonet for the lens hood and blue feet numbers, instead of yellow ones. The actual production lens has a redesigned barrel, but is in fact still a Mitakon for triple the price.
I use a Sony A-mount 50mm/1.4 plus a cheap speedbooster. Makes it a 35mm/1.0 as well for 300€. Well, the border sharpness is awful but most shots you take with such parameters don’t care.
7 new FE lenses will be 35mm, and one 50mm
also all manual focus
So you saying 6x 35mm lenses and 1x 50mm lens?
who needs anything else? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think that’s what he’s saying.
Someone please explain this to me. Here’s a “new” APS-C lens at an astronomical price. It’s actually, apparently, a cheesy rebranding of a much cheaper lens, but leaving that aside – where is its market? Products like this are aimed at enthusiasts ready to pay top dollar. But there is no corresponding APS-C camera. So does Meyer Gorlitz (or whoever is really behind this product) know of an upcoming APS-C body from Sony that might drive sales of lenses like this? Because no one will buy it for an a6000 at the end of its product life cycle, with no follow-on coming.
I took a chance a while back and picked up that handlevision 40mm f/0.85..
it was on “sale” for 700 off list price. I couldnt stand the potential of a perfect lowlight lens for handheld smokey bar type use.. and due to the lack of significant examples, i just went for it (with a return policy.
i sent it back a couple days later. it just simply cost too much for the results it yielded. VERY heavy and the the image results were not what i was looking for.
i wonder if this will be the same thing. i wish someone could make something useable and at a reasonable price faster than a f/1.2.
there IS a small market for such lenses but it has to really make a useable and aesthetically pleasing result over a 1.2, imo.
It seems to be more practical to make better low light sensors though from what it seems.
the “new” meyer optics görlitz works together with zhongyi. only the new trioplan is a new own thing so far …
