Compared to the version II model of the lens, the version III model features a new optical design that provides both a smaller size and greater resistance to flares.

“Offering a natural 50mm perspective along with an ultra-fast f/0.95 maximum aperture, the Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 is a compact prime characterized by its bright f/0.95 aperture to suit working in low-light conditions,” ZY Optics states. “It also affords a great degree of control over depth-of-field for isolating subjects from the background and producing selective focus effects.”
