FAST LENSES: Mitakon 42.5mmF1.2 Samples at photographyblog + IBELUX 40mmF0.85 REVIEW at Riflessifotografici

Ibelux 40mm f/0.85 Review at riflessifotografici in English (Italian)

_ _ _

Maybe you remember that, back in October, I told you that due to a production issue, ZY optics decided to postpone the release of the Fuji X mount 42.5mm f/1.2. Well, it seems that the lens is ready, and we can now enjoy the first samples at photographyblog here.

Please note that the aperture data at photographyblog always says “f/0“. That’s becuase X-cameras can’t “communicate” with this lens. The aperture and the distance & depth of field indicators in the EVF/LCD won’t work. It’s a pity that photographyblog didn’t take manually note of the aperture for each shot and added the information later on their images.

Who did take note manually for each shot of the aperture, is riflessifotografici. But they reviewed worlds fastest lens for mirrorless cameras, the IBELUX 40mmF0.85. You can check out the their review at riflessifotografici (Italian version)  . I also wrote a much more humble review of the Ibelux (part1part2)

The price of the Ibelux is dropping at BHphoto.

And btw, Fuji’s fastest lens, the XF 56mmF1.2, is still available $150 off here.
