To put things into perspective, that was 47 years before Leica&#8217;s first f\/0.95 lens, the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-leica-50mm-0-95-noctilux-m-asph\/\">Leica 50mm 0.95 Noctilux-M Asph<\/a>, and 58 years before Nikon&#8217;s first, the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-nikon-58mm-0-95-noct-nikkor-the-ultimate-lens\/\">Nikon Z 58mm 0.95 S Noct-Nikkor<\/a>.

Amsterdam. They run a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cameraobscuraelburg.nl\/\">webshop<\/a> specialized in rangefinder cameras and lenses and they agreed to send me this Canon 50mm 0.95 for a review, which I am very thankful for.<\/p>\n<p>As you may not be aware, there are two versions of this lens, one for the Canon 7 rangefinder cameras (introduced in 1961), and a &#8220;TV&#8221; or &#8220;Cine&#8221; version. The rangefinder version does feature a rangefinder coupling, but it has a significant cutout in the rear element for that.<\/p>\n<p>To be used on an M-mount camera either one of these lenses needs to be modified though, as unlike the other Canon rangefinder lenses, this one does not feature a standard M39 thread mount, but a proprietary negative bayonet instead.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;TV&#8221; version has been modified by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cameraobscuraelburg.nl\/\">Camera Obscura Elburg<\/a> to not only feature a standard M-mount, but also a rangefinder coupling and all that without having to cut the rear element. But there is more, the minimum focus distance has also been improved to 0.65 m (from originally 1.0 m) and the inside surfaces have been painted black to increase its contrast.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to have one of these lenses modified &#8211; especially when you are located in Europe and want to avoid customs hassle &#8211; this is a very good address for that.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting project they are currently working on are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDK-FtPIgiA\/\">Helios 44-2 58mm 2.0 lenses modified for M-mount<\/a> including a working rangefinder coupling. Martin already <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-helios-44\/\">reviewed an unmodified Helios-44<\/a>, if you want to know more about that famous lens.<\/p>\n<h2>Handling \/ Build Quality<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65548\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65548\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65548\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95_TV.jpg\" alt=\"review canon leica m 50mm 0.95 tv dream lens lens contrast resolution m10 42mp 24mp 61mp m6 analogue contrast bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95_TV.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95_TV-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95_TV-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canon 50mm 0.95<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The casing of this lens withstood the test of time pretty well. It feels like everything is made from metal with some parts painted black. All the markings are engraved and filled with paint.<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring travels ~180\u00b0 from infinity to the original minimum focus distance of 1.0 m and another ~80\u00b0 to the modified minimum focus distance of ~0.7 m. The mechanical design is quite complex and the front element does not rotate on focusing.<br \/>\nThe aperture ring has very distinct and equidistantly spaced full-stop click-stops. While this design is my personal favorite it should be noted that these click stops are a bit on the noisy side, so if you want to use this lens for filming this might be something that could bother you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65549\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65549\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

For E-mount there are also adapters available that allow for attaching the unmodified version of the lens. So if you are not planning on using it on an M-mount camera, you can save some money by buying an unmodified lens, which are usually significantly cheaper.<\/p>\n<h2>Buying Advice<\/h2>\n<p>These lenses have been made roughly between 1961 and 1970, so they are all at least 50 years old. Unfortunately there are several possible issues that can occur over time with these lenses, the most problematic ones are fungus and balsam separation. I have been looking for a good sample for a long time and believe me when I tell you: finding one is not easy.<\/p>\n<p>Many shops that give a professional impression (or just call themselves professional) are not able to spot the balsam separation and you may end up paying 2-3 grand for a lens that produces hot garbage like this:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65481\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65481\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canon_50mm_0.95-768x489.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canon 50mm 0.95 with balsam separation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is one of those lenses, I definitely wouldn&#8217;t buy from overseas, where there is no realistic return option.<\/p>\n<p>These issues are also the reason for the sometimes massive price differences between samples, so if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is most likely because it is.<\/p>\n<h2>Light Transmission<\/h2>\n<p>Measuring the actual light transmission of lenses is not something that can be easily done.

lenses usually show a noticeable amount of optical vignetting, especially so the compact ones. 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<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav

circles are directly comparable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are a few interesting things we see here. First is, that the f\/Stop at this focus distance is noticeably bigger than that of the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-voigtlander-vm-50mm-1-0-nokton-the-actually-fastest-m-mount-lens\/\">Voigtl\u00e4nder VM 50mm 1.0 Nokton<\/a> and definitely bigger than it should be going just by the numbers. The Voigtl\u00e4nder is an actual 50 mm lens whereas the Canon is a 51.6 mm lens though, so that also needs to be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the Voigtl\u00e4nder&#8217;s light circles are very clean, the Canon does show some outlining, so we should expect busier bokeh rendering from it. It does not show the massive optical vignetting in the corners though, rendering a bit more natural shapes there.<\/p>\n<h2>Sharpness<\/h2>\n<h3>Glow \/ Spherical Aberration<\/h3>\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 <em>&#8220;glow&#8221;<\/em> to already bright parts of the image.&nbsp;It is also an effect similar to what you get when using a <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/diffusion-filters-are-they-useful\/\">diffusion filter<\/a>. This effect usually weakens when stopping the lens down.<\/p>\n<p>This Canon 50mm 0.95 is surely one of those lenses as it shows a very notable glow at f\/0.95. Probably this is also the reason for its nickname &#8220;Dream Lens&#8221;.<br \/>\nSome other lenses that show a similar glow are many of the fast MS-Optics lenses (esp. <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ms-optics-35mm-1-3-ii-slim-apoqualia\/\">35mm 1.3 II Slim<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ms-optical-50mm-1-1-sonnetar\/\">50mm

prepared a few comparisons where you can see the difference between using this lens at f\/0.95 and f\/1.4, for you to better judge if that is something you can or want to make use of in your

aperture and often lenses like this also struggle with severe focus shift.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed this Canon 50mm 0.95 shows one of the strongest focus shifts I came across so far.

comparison of (modern) <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/comparison-super-fast-50mm-m-mount-lenses\/\">super fast 50 M-mount lenses<\/a> you will see that none of them showed a great performance in this category, this Canon lens &#8211; unsurprisingly &#8211; does a tad worse.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In 1961 Canon did what no one else dared to do for decades to come: releasing a 50mm 0.95 fullframe lens.<\/p>\n<p>With this review I tried to show you all there is to know about this lens. I am sure there are people among you who would rather pay two grand for this than for some new f\/2.8 zoom, and I am also sure there will be people that wouldn&#8217;t have any use for it, even if they got it for free.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously the latest f\/0.95 mirrorless lenses made of way more special glass and aspherical elements show a better performance. And only going by its performance, of course I would have to tell you this lens is not exactly great value.<\/p>\n<p>That is only one side of the coin though. This Canon lens will always be the first commercially produced and sold 50mm f\/0.95 fullframe lens. Together with its signature dreamy rendering the main reason this is still a highly sought after lens to this day.<\/p>\n<p>From my personal experience I also know that finding a good sample is not easy and I fear those in really good condition will only get more expensive in the future.<\/p>\n<p><em>buy from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=canon+50mm+0.95&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_nkw=canon+50mm+0.95&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate links) starting at <strong>$2.000<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>I reviewed a lot of 50mm M-mount lenses all of which you can find listed <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/lenses\/leica-lenses\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t really a direct alternative to this lens available, combining an f\/0.95 maximum aperture with a similar dreaming rendering.
