Give this one a like and a subscribe. The Canon 50mm 0.95 was an oddity for many years. For those who care of its history, it shares its optical formula with the contemporaneous Canon 50mm 1.4 (a superb lens) and the 1.2 (not so superb). Each lens wider than 1.4 represents a somewhat abuse of the design in order to made it faster. The 0.95 is in concept pretty silly, in that wide open, it's depth of field is less than the thickness of the eyeball you would focus on for a portrait. its resolution and contrast are much reduced, and it has a wicked field curvature (which makes it seem less sharp than it really is). So why make it? SALES. In the day, if it was faster, people wanted it. Didn't work as well as a slower lens? No one cared. When you advertise that you sell the fastest lens in the world (at the time it was), people wanted it, and they bought a lot of other stuff to go with it. If you want to get serious about the quality of the types of photos shown in the video, a 50mm 1.4 will do them all and give you better images. But it isn't as much fun to play with, at least until your wrist going numb hauling around the 0.95. If you try to buy one, look out for the ones marked "TV", as they were made for use on TV cameras and do not have a focusing cam to connect to a rangefinder. If you are adapting it to a digital camera and not using a rangefinder, never mind.

This is a very nice lens, it’s is quite sharp at 0.95, just that internal refractions, and maybe the inferior coatings kind of mask that sharp image taken at 0.95. This is how it feels like it. Even with that ‘imperfection’ it is a nice look. Design wise the the lens looks very attractive, stout and a big diameter lens with 180 degree focus throw. The example I have has not been CLA’d ever and it is hard to focus quickly. Great lens for night photography

@@karabasbarabas91 Since the 50mm .095 was made only in its unique bayonet mount for the 7/7s and a C-video mount for TV cameras, I'll assume that you have a lens previously subjected to a bit of after-market hacking?

eBay has adapters for Sony mirrorless bodies. The bayonet lens mount interferes with the operation of an SLR's mirror. Bought the Canon 7 rangefinder w/ f0.95 in 1964 while vacationing in Japan.

WOW, did I love this video. Maybe a gimble on the video camera next time? For photographers who think they might want to try shooting like this, there are some new and inexpensive options coming out of China. I have the 7Artisans f/0.95 50mm on APS-C, which at the moment is only about $200, brand new. Like the Canon, it's also an imperfect lens with plenty of character. There are other 0.95 choices from 7Artisans, TTArtisans, LAOWA, and others. All manual focus, but pretty usable on mirrorless systems with focus assist. This is where I learned about them, really fun to shoot with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnnPn4msZcd_nNU
