First let me point out that focal length and maximum aperture are subject to rounding, Miyazaki discloses the actual values and this is in fact a 51.5mm f\/1.05 lens, which on paper should allow for very similar subject separation as a 50mm f\/1.0 lens.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum aperture defines how blurry your background is and if you have out of focus point light sources the diameter of these highlights is proportional to the aperture setting. So if we take two pictures, one at f\/1.0 and another one at f\/1.4, the diameter of the highlights should change by the factor of 1.4. We will ignore the effect of optical vignetting for the time being &#8211; this will be talked about later &#8211; and only look at the center of the frame.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\" id=\"oscitas-restabs-1-review-ms-optics-50mm-1-0-ism-61971\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-0\" data-toggle=\"tab\">MS 50mm f\/1.0 M@f\/1.0<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\">MS 50mm f\/1.0 M@f\/1.4<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-2\" data-toggle=\"tab\">TTArtisan 50mm f\/0.95@f\/0.95<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-3\" data-toggle=\"tab\">TTArtisan 50mm f\/0.95@f\/1.4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"tab-content\" id=\"oscitas-restabcontent-1-review-ms-optics-50mm-1-0-ism-61971\"><li class=\"tab-pane active\" id=\"ert_pane1-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27498 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.0.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.0.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.0-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27499 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.4.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_0.8m_1.4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane1-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27500 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_0.95.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_0.95.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_0.95-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_0.95-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane1-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27501 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_1.4.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_1.4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_1.4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TTartisan_50_0.95_bokeh_0.8m_1.4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now what we see here: this isn&#8217;t the case with the MS-Optics 50mm 1.0. In the comparison at 0.8 m above there is hardly a difference in diameter visible between f\/1.0 and f\/1.4.<br \/>\nLuckily I still had the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ttartisan-50mm-0-95\/\">TTArtisan 50mm 0.95<\/a> here, a lens with similar specs (except for size and weight).<br \/>\nNow what we see with this lens are significantly bigger highlights at f\/0.95 versus f\/1.4.

So I asked an expert on optical design, <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/the-man-behind-the-lens-mr-li-laowa-15mm-2-0-zero-d-fe\/\">Dayong Li<\/a>, CEO and lens designer of Laowa.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27504\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n.png 1701w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n-800x584.png 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n-768x560.png 768w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/139721606_226156172389634_7574610982980387300_n-1536x1121.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He kindly drew this simple schematic diagram for me. The arrow is where the aperture diaphragm is located. The small grey box is a part of the lens barrel behind the aperture diaphragm.<br \/>\nThis 50mm f\/1.0 lens is a block focus design, so the whole optical block moves forward on focusing closer.<br \/>\nWhat we see here now is that at infinity the aperture diaphragm is defining the maximal opening. The whole diameter of the front element is being used, the lens has a maximum aperture of f\/1.0.<\/p>\n<p>Now often lenses are calculated for infinity performance. And Miyazaki, designing these lenses by hand and not with the help of a computer, might have overlooked, that on focusing closer not the aperture diaphragm, but some other part of the lens barrel blocks the light and ultimately defines the maximum aperture.<br \/>\nIt is also possible that Miyazaki is aware of this and simply took it into account to realize the lens at these dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>Now to prove this theory I came up with another test setup, I focused the lens at infinity and placed a point light source in the foreground.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\" id=\"oscitas-restabs-2-review-ms-optics-50mm-1-0-ism-31711\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#ert_pane2-0\" data-toggle=\"tab\">MS 50mm f\/1.0 M@f\/1.0<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane2-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\">MS 50mm f\/1.0 M@f\/1.4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"tab-content\" id=\"oscitas-restabcontent-2-review-ms-optics-50mm-1-0-ism-31711\"><li class=\"tab-pane active\" id=\"ert_pane2-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27505 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.0.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.0.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.0-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane2-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27506 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.4.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms_optics_50_1.0_bokeh_oo_1.4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we measure and compare the diameter of these light circles, we see that the circle at f\/1.0 is about 1.35 times bigger than that at f\/1.4.

Maybe some lens designer was rather optimistic when it comes to the diameter of the elements. Technically it is also possible that the aperture diaphragm is not in the right position and\/or that correct position changes on stopping down due to focus shift.<\/p>\n<h3>optical vignetting<\/h3>\n<p>Very fast yet compact lenses usually show a significant amount of optical vignetting. Without going too much into technical details optical vignetting leads to the truncation of light circles towards the borders of the frame.<br \/>\nIn the center of the frame almost every lens will render a perfect circle, but only lenses with very low optical vignetting will keep this shape in the corners.<br \/>\nSo in the following comparison we move from the center (left) to the extreme corner (right) and see how the shape of the light circle changes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs

\/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>For comparison&#8217;s sake I included the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ttartisan-50mm-0-95\/\">TTArtisan 50mm 0.95<\/a> here, as it is the most affordable and probably most common f\/0.95 lens with M-mount. Generally the amount of optical vignetting is not that different, despite the MS-Optics lens being much smaller. But keep in mind that at these distances the TTArtisan will render noticeably blurrier backgrounds, this isn&#8217;t obvious from the comparison above as I did not shoot the lenses side-by-side, have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ms-optics-50mm-1-0-ism\/#Can_a_50mm_f10_lens_really_be_this_small\">this section<\/a> for reference.<\/p>\n<p>As the MS-Optics lens does not use any aspherical elements we see no onion rings and the 16 rounded aperture blades keep the circles nicely round on stopping down.<\/p>\n<p><em>I shot the TTArtisan lens at 0.7 m and the MS-Optics lens at 0.8 m. You may get slightly different results at other distances.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Sharpness<\/h2>\n<h3>MTF-Graphs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms-optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_diagram.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms-optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_diagram.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms-optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_diagram-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ms-optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_diagram-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The MS-Optics lenses always come with hand-drawn MTF-graphs which do give a pretty good idea of what to expect.<br \/>\nWhat we see here is low resolution and contrast at wider apertures as well as high field curvature. Astigmatism is interesting, it is very low at maximum aperture but very high stopped down, because the sagittal resolution increases a lot towards the corners whereas the meridional doesn&#8217;t. We will investigate in the following sections what that means for us.<\/p>\n<h3>Glow \/ Spherical Aberration<\/h3>\n<p>A certain amount of &#8220;<em>glow<\/em>&#8221; is often associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/carl-zeiss-c-sonnar-t-50mm-f1-5-zm-a-detailed-review\/\">Sonnar<\/a> designs and also some of the (mostly earlier) Leica lenses. If we were looking for a more technical term it would be <em>undercorrected spherical aberration<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Spherical aberration is the only classic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Optical_aberration\">lens aberration<\/a> that has an effect on the center of the image. It will make your image appear softer and add some additional &#8220;glow&#8221; to already bright parts of the image.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a <em>Double Gauss<\/em> and not a <em>Sonnar<\/em> design this 50mm f\/1.0 lens shows a lot of that glow at f\/1.0 at all distances. Generally this is not something many people would want in their architecture or landscape images, yet some people enjoy the softer look for portraits and nature photography.<\/p>\n<p>Me personally? I occassionally enjoy that soft look for intimate portraits, like this one I took with the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-zhong-yi-mitakon-50mm-0-95-dark-knight\/\">Zhong Yi 50mm

a lot of glow (spherical aberration) in the center, this improves steadily on stopping down. By f\/2.8 the center part shows high resolution and contrast.<\/p>\n<p>The midframe is nothing to write home about on the Sony filter stack. As usual I am showing you the worst part of the frame here. We deal not only with the lens aberrations but also with filter stack induced field curvature here, so even stopped down to f\/11 the performance isn&#8217;t good when focused at the center.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at the corners we do not only see something unusual, but we also see the MTF don&#8217;t lie. At wider apertures the contrast isn&#8217;t high, but astigmatism is low so they still look somewhat acceptable. If we stop down the astigmatism increases and the corners look really really bad.<\/p>\n<p>Let us see in the next section how the lens performs on a camera with a thinner filter stack.<\/p>\n<h3>infinity (24mp Leica M10)<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27512 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics ms-optical ism sonnetar f\/1.0 f\/0.95 fast noctilux angenieux leica m10 24mp 42mp review sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"2143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10-112x300.jpg 112w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10-478x1280.jpg 478w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10-768x2057.jpg 768w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10-573x1536.jpg 573w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharpness_MS-Optics_50mm_1.0_ISM_M10-765x2048.jpg 765w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Performance on the Leica M10 with its thinner filter stack is a little bit better.

\/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>50% crops, A7rII<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Focus shift is there, but it is minimal. As you will accidentally change the focus when adjusting the aperture anyway this shouldn&#8217;t be a big deal on cameras with live view.<br \/>\nI do not recommend to rely on the rangefinder when using this lens at wider apertures, if you do anyway you will have to deal with other issues than just the very small focus shift.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Technically flawed? Amazingly small? Overpriced? Unique?<\/p>\n<p>There is a pretty wide range of descriptions that could be used to characterize this lens. Which one you find most fitting will be very subjective and this puts me in an unfortunate spot: no matter what I write, quite a lof of people will be unhappy with it.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to give you two opinions here. I will tell you why this is the <em>worst<\/em> fast 50mm lens and also why it is the<em> best<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I will not tell you where I find myself inbetween these two positions, that is up for your imagination this time.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why the MS-Optics 50mm 1.0 ISM is the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">worst<\/span> fast 50mm M-mount lens:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nFirst, at closer distances it is not that fast, as I calculated it is merely an f\/1.3 lens. Nothing special. Lenses like the TTArtisan or Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 yield way blurrier backgrounds at closer distances and by the way: they only cost half as much.<br \/>\nThen we have the high vignetting. New negative record at maximum aperture but this isn&#8217;t even the worst part, because stopped down the corners are simply pitch black.<br \/>\nInfinity sharpness. When was the last time we saw corners that look this bad at f\/11? Every legacy 50mm f\/1.8 lens for a few bucks is doing better here! And then we have the high spherical aberration at f\/1.0 at all distances. Unusable at maximum aperture.<br \/>\nWhy should I deal with a rotating lens barrel in 2021? Even a Jupiter-9 85mm 2.0 from 70 years ago has a more sophisticated mechanical design.<br \/>\nA lens with way too many issues that I cannot recommend to anyone, especially considering its high price tag.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why the MS-Optics 50mm 1.0 ISM is the <span style=\"color: #339966;\">best<\/span> fast 50mm M-mount lens:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nLet&#8217;s be honest here, who wants to carry an all manual 50mm lens that weighs as much as the camera itself? Especially when you are using a Leica camera you want your lenses to be as small and light as possible, don&#8217;t you? If you do, this lens is without competition, the other new 50mm f\/0.95 from TTArtisan and Zhong Yi weigh 4 times as much, the rare (and way more expensive!) Canon 50mm f\/0.95 weighs 3 times as much. The Leica Noctilux again 4 times as much. Even the Voigtlander VM 50mm 1.2 Nokton is double the weight.<br \/>\nBlack corners stopped down? Rotating lens barrel? People buy this lens because they like the rendering at wide apertures, so who cares about these things!<br \/>\nAt maximum aperture the images have a soft glow, perfect for portraiture, and you can always stop down to f\/1.4 to get more contrast in your pictures. And infinity corner sharpness at f\/11? Who wants to use an f\/1.0 lens for that anyway?<br \/>\nMS-Optics lenses are low volume boutique lenses. How many samples will be made of this? More than 100? Probably not. Compared to shelling out 3 grand for a used Canon 50mm 0.95 or 10 grand for a Leica 50mm 0.95 the price seems easily justifiable.<br \/>\nThis is the fast 50mm lens you will actually use and not admire in your lens cabinet. Or as Miyazaki put it &#8220;the world&#8217;s first large aperture lens for regular use&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can find this lens at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japanexposures.com\/shop\/camera-lens\/?currency=USD\">japanexposures.com<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=ms-optics+50mm+1.0&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;campid=5337820130&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate link) but don&#8217;t expect it to be always available.
