The newly announced Noktor 50mm f/0.95 lens is not your only option if you need ultrafast manual lenses. I made a small list of lenses I found on Ebay (all 50mm lenses). My hot tip is the Canon FD f/0.95…really a decent lens for the price!
P.S.: For all these lenses you need to use the adapter!

UPDATE2: I forot to mention the Olympus 50mm f1.2!
