7Artisans' ultra-fast manual-focus 75mm equiv prime — f/0.95 for extreme shallow DOF and creative bokeh.
The 7Artisans 50mm f/0.95 is a manual-focus APS-C prime for Fujifilm X-mount, providing a 75mm full-frame equivalent perspective at f/0.95 — one of the fastest apertures available for any APS-C system prime. Thirteen clickless aperture blades produce smooth circular bokeh. At 416g and 62mm filter thread. Manual focus only. 0.45m MFD.
The optical design uses 7 elements in 5 groups including 2 ultra-low dispersion elements. Thirteen clickless aperture blades. The 62mm filter thread. At 416g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 0.45m. Manual focus only — no electronic contacts. f/0.95 maximum aperture. APS-C image circle.
The f/0.95 aperture provides approximately 2/3-stop more light than f/1.0 and 1.5 stops more than f/1.4 alternatives — enabling extreme low-light APS-C photography and the shallowest depth of field available at this focal length class. The 13-blade clickless aperture produces smooth circular out-of-focus highlights across all aperture positions. Manual focus at f/0.95 requires precise focus peaking use given the extremely thin depth of field.
On the used market the 7Artisans 50mm f/0.95 is affordable for an f/0.95 APS-C prime. Condition checks: manual focus ring smoothness, clickless aperture ring operation, 62mm front element for marks. Manual focus only — no AF. APS-C only. Compatible with Fujifilm X-mount APS-C bodies.
