Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 25mm f0.95 Review

If you're all about bokeh, this is something you'll want to check out. With a M43 mount, this lens is an effective 50mm focal length. It opens up to f0.95 and remains reasonably sharp wide open.

I love the blue-light white-light contrast in your setup.

Fun little lens, just got it today. Some tips (on EM5ii):
make sure the live view boost in MF is off to get proper exposure preview (if boost is needed for easier focusing can setup a button for SOVF which works with the EVF only)
setup two easily accessible buttons for peaking and magnification
make sure to setup the camera IBIS to the lens focal length
use M mode for proper histogram display
setup a custom button to switch the dials mode to control ISO easily
Mine did not come with a fancy box but they included a lens pouch instead, arguably more useful. Build quality was great with no issues on the rings and the markings lined up perfectly.

This is the best review of anything I have ever seen!

[@neckbreakerb]

Thanks Owen!!

[@jas_bataille]

Beautiful, concise, to the point, and honest. A class act. If only all UA-camrs aimed at this level of excellence instead of fighting sponsorships...!

[@Chuchuguitar]

For a newb like me the tip about focus peaking and manual focus was very helpful! Thank you so much! Great video!

[@excursioncuts6424]

Thanks Chuchu! Yeah, focus peaking is such a cool feature.

Nice approach to a review of a lense. I tend to think that most people ( in ) photography would buy the more expensive one.

[@miriammoriarty8588]

Very helpful and lovely footage. Adding this lens to the wish list!

[@jlewis7221]

Whats the music in the opening? Shazam cannot find it :)

[@Mraz75]

I don’t have any 25mm lens. Really picky on this focal length.. am looking for specific character. Maybe this lens could be my choice. Thank you.

[@kpboix99]

Thank you for this in detail review of the lens. I am going to add this one to my nifty fifty collection. Any good recommendation on the ND filter size?

[@rockomedia9028]

take the size of your biggest lens, so it will fit for all your lenses by adding rings.

[@shootercinema8577]

What camera did you shoot this with?

[@excursioncuts6424]

A Panasonic GH5.

[@adamgourmane1356]

What microphone do you use ? can i borrow your voice :') ?

[@Tadwilla]

Hello, do you have issues with focus to infinity (1mm too far) ?

[@tearitloosetearitloose4670]

Would you recommend this lens for night photography?

[@excursioncuts6424]

Absolutely! Especially if you're shooting people or things somewhat close to the camera.
