An f/0.95 aperture for APS-C

The Meike 50mm f/0.95 is a manual prime for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Its f/0.95 aperture passes an exceptional amount of light — you can shoot at dusk without flash, and the background dissolves into a soft rendering an ordinary lens cannot match.

Optics and bokeh

The design uses 7 elements in 5 groups. Thirteen diaphragm blades keep the opening round when stopped down, so point lights in the background stay circular. A 45 cm minimum focusing distance and a 32° angle of view make this a natural portrait choice — on APS-C it frames like roughly 75 mm.

Build and handling

The lens is all metal, focus and aperture are set by hand, and it has no electronic contacts — the camera must be set to release without a lens, and the aperture is not written to EXIF. Filter thread 62 mm, weight about 420 g. It can be used on full-frame bodies in APS-C mode.
