    Mitakon 17mm 0.95 Review – [FAST prime with GREAT value for money!]

    I had a chance to test the Mitakon 17mm f0,95 lens. It is an MFT lens from ZY Optics. I was interested to test the lens because of its fast aperture. 0,95 lenses are not that common and usually quite expensive. Mitakon 17mm f0,95 lens can be found under 400€/$. That is a good price.

    The lens is a very good value for the money. If you are interested in Mitakon Speedmaster 17mm f0,95. you can get it from Amazon.

    Get the lens from Amazon US:

    What I liked about and what was not that good?

    What I liked about is the look and feel, image quality when stopped down to f2. The downsides of the lens is the focusing ring. It is a “long” way to go from 1m to infinity. No clicks on the aperture ring. I do not like it when photographing, but for video, it is quite good. The at f0,95 lacks contrast, but that can be fixed in post.
