Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Brightin Star 50mm f/0.95 II is a low-cost, very fast manual-focus prime for full-frame mirrorless, with a metal body and a built-in pull-out hood, aimed at creative experimentation rather than technical sharpness. The one professional review finds the maximum aperture genuine, the build good, the focus ring smooth and the foreground and background blur strong, but calls the optics very weak, with strong chromatic and spherical aberrations, heavy flare and halos in backlight, very low contrast at close focus and no electronic contacts for EXIF.

From Brightin Star:

Capture the dark in one shot. The Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 II brings enhanced sharpness, better contrast, and F0.95 low-light power for portraits, night scenes, and cinematic shots. Optical excellence from 10 elements in 9 groups, featuring 2 ED (extra-low dispersion) and 4 HR (high refractive) glass elements, in a CNC-machined aerospace aluminium body with an integrated locking lens hood.
