Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics) has released an improved version of their first f/0.95 lens, Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II. The mark II verison features a drastic improvement of sharpness, better control of chromatic abberations and much compact size. The new version comes with a Fuji X / Sony E / EOS-M mount and is able to cover the image circle of APS-C sized sensors.

Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II is a ultra-fast prime lens which provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of around 53mm in APS-C cameras. A maximum aperture of f/0.95 makes it extremely convenient to shoot at a low light conditions without flash. The new optical design incorporates a 11 elements in 8 groups structure, including 1pc of Extra-low disperson elements, 2 pcs of Extra-high Refractive Index elements and 3pcs of High Refractive Index elements. This structure effectively improved the image resolution by 30% compared to the previous version from corners to corners. This also controls the chromatic abberations very well and deliver excellent image sharpness even at f/0.95.

The new Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 is light and compact. The total weight is reduced from 680g to 460g, making it an ideal companion for the compact mirrorless cameras. Manual focus design and a click-less, silent aperture ring promote smooth handling and are especially well-suited to video applications. The lens is built in metallic enclosure with additional protective process and finest finishing, which gives extra durability and aesthetic.

Newsshooter at IBC 2016: Aputure Electronic Variable ND DEC Test Footage – 4K from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

Newsshooter published the first hands-on report of the new Aputure Electronic Variable ND Canon EF to E-Mount adapter:

Unlike a conventional screw-in variable ND filter, there is no black extinction cross when approaching maximum density. It also has a much wider range of ND and Aputure claim there is virtually no colour shift – something that plagues other variable ND filters.
Colours look good and just as Aputure claim there appears to be little colour shift. Resolution looked to be similar to without the filter and there was no obvious softness or vignetting in the corners of the frame. We also tried it inside using the new Zeiss 21-100mm lens. There were no odd flares or obvious image issues.

Note: There is yet no price and shipping info yet
