SLR Magic 50mm f/0.95 Hyperprime Lens Review
SLR Magic 50mm f/0.95 Hyperprime Sample Photos
 Portrait | 1/250 sec | f/0.95 | 50.0 mm | ISO 200 |  Portrait low light | 1/50 sec | f/0.95 | 50.0 mm | ISO 200 |
 Sharpness in the centre reaches outstanding levels as the aperture is stopped down. Clarity towards the edges of the frame never really catches up though | 1/640 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |  The oddly shaped aperture can lead to busy looking out of focus backgrounds, when stopped down a little | 1/640 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |
 The lens produces images with a vintage look due to the low levels of contrast it delivers | 1/1300 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |  At f/0.95, sharpness is fairly good in the centre although images have a hazy appearance due to spherical aberrations | 1/1000 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |
 1/200 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |  1/400 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |
 1/200 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |  1/125 sec | f/0 | ISO 160 |
Value for Money
With a price of around £800, this lens seems quite expensive for what you get, even though the maximum aperture is faster than anything else available at the moment. This may be justified by the lack of direct equivalents. The only lens of equivalent focal length is Sony's 50mm f/1.8 lens, which costs around £180. This lens sports autofocus but has a maximum aperture that is over one and a half stops slower.
