Key Features — Mitakon Zhongyi 35mm f/0.95 Mark II
f/0.95 Maximum Aperture: One of the widest apertures available on a still photography prime, allowing exceptional light gathering for low-light shooting and extremely shallow depth of field.
35mm Standard Focal Length: On APS-C sensors this gives a roughly 52mm full-frame equivalent, making it a natural choice for street, documentary, and portrait work.
APS-C Mirrorless Coverage: Image circle designed specifically for APS-C sensors, available in Sony E, Canon EF-M, and Fujifilm X mounts.
Manual Focus Only: Fully manual focusing suits the precision demands of shooting at f/0.95, where even small focus errors are visible.
Mark II Optical Design: Updated second-generation design addresses aberrations and rendering characteristics compared to the original Speedmaster 35mm.
460g Build Weight: Relatively compact and manageable for a lens with this maximum aperture, keeping the overall kit weight reasonable.

Description — Mitakon Zhongyi 35mm f/0.95 Mark II
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II is a prime lens built for APS-C mirrorless camera systems, available in Sony E, Canon EF-M, and Fujifilm X mounts. Its headline specification is the f/0.95 maximum aperture — an unusually wide opening that enables shooting in challenging lighting conditions and gives photographers fine-grained control over depth of field. The 35mm focal length sits in the standard focal length range, offering a natural perspective well suited to documentary, street, and everyday photography.
Focusing is entirely manual, with no autofocus capability, which demands deliberate technique — particularly important given how shallow depth of field becomes at f/0.95. Image stabilization is not included, so photographers will need to account for camera movement through shutter speed or shooting posture. The lens accepts 55mm filters, a convenient and commonly available size, and tips the scales at 460g, making it a solid but portable choice for a lens in this aperture class.
