Holy Grail of natural light photography lenses
Yes, there is ONE lens that I believe if I were to dangle in front of my photography buddies over any other lens, they would fight for this!
I’ve never found one for sale before, but from what I can see, Samy’s Camera actually has “several” of these available!
I won’t be buying one soon because I already have a lens that’s only 2/3 of a stop slower… but, if I had an extra $4,750 sitting around, I might just jump at this. For any of you photo dweebs/friends of mine who are interested, here’s the link to where you can buy your very own 50 1.0 lens!!
That would be pretty nice! The 1.4 does me just fine and it was definitely more in my budget range than this.
dude i’ve heard rumors of that lens… and i knew it had to be spendy…. but 5K for a 50mm!?!? craziness!
Hi Tim - I use the 85mm f1.2 on a full frame 5D which is a great lens if a little slow on autofocus and tricky on manual. I guess the 50mm on a smaller chip would give you the same thing allowing for the 1.6 x magnification on a 20D etc… I’m a UK photographer so we have to pay a whole lot more for our lenses than you guys do!
