SLR Magic 50mm f/0.95 Hyperprime Lens Review

SLR Magic 50mm f/0.95 Hyperprime Lens Verdict

The effect this lens produces will make this lens one that some people absolutely love, and others will find they just can't get along with. The haziness at maximum aperture generally looks quite pleasant, as does the vintage lens effect due to low contrast. For the asking price of £800, it's a bit more expensive than whimsy alone can normally justify, but if you really like the effect, it may well be worth it to you.
