After launching the [shoplink 46675 ebay]Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 for E-mount (here on eBay)[/shoplink] Mitakon is seriously considering to make proper Micro Four Thirds version of it.

Don’t know how much sense it makes to launch such a lens. We already have superb (and also cheap) 50mm f/0.95 lenses…

For the record. These are the five f/o.95 MFT lenses we have now:
Nokton 25mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36580 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36581 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 (not in Stock yet, save this search for notification).
SLRmagic 50mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 29455 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
SLRmagic 25mm f/0.95 (not in Stock yet, save this search for notification).

You probably have heard about the latest Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens (Click here) whose quality is almost as good as the $4,000 Zeiss Otus. This is just to say how Sigma is being “serious” with their new “ART” lens line.
It’s said “some” of them will have fast aperture. Well, according to one source Sigma will display new ART lenses with Micro Four Thirds mount at Photokina! And unlike the current MFT lenses, the 19mm (here at Amazon), 30mm (here at Amazon) and 60mm (here at Amazon) the sources said “some” of these lenses will have a fast aperture. The only not so good news is that also these new lenses will share the same lens design for all mirrorless mounts. A “dedicated” MFT lens design would have allowed Sigma to make them more compact because of the slightly smaller sensor size.

Now you can dream of some nice fast lens. What’s your wish?
