Ultra-Fast 50mm Lens for Leica M

The TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 is a manual-focus prime lens built for Leica M-mount cameras. Its maximum aperture of f/0.95 makes it suitable for photographers who need extreme low-light performance and very shallow depth of field. The 50mm focal length provides a natural perspective for portraits and street scenes. It is designed for users who prefer tactile, mechanical control over automation.

14-Blade Diaphragm and Clicked Aperture

A 14-blade aperture diaphragm produces smooth, circular bokeh highlights across the frame. The clicked aperture ring delivers distinct tactile stops for precise exposure adjustments without looking away from the viewfinder. These mechanical features support a deliberate shooting workflow where the photographer sets every parameter by hand. The lens includes a 62mm filter thread for standard screw-in filters.

All-Metal Build with Aspherical Optics

The barrel measures 72 by 89 millimetres and weighs 687 grams, using an all-metal construction that feels dense and balanced on a rangefinder body. Inside, an optical formula of 11 elements in 8 groups incorporates one large aspherical element and eight high-refractive elements to maintain sharpness wide open. The compact footprint allows the camera to remain discreet for street work. The manual focus helicoid operates with consistent damping throughout its throw.

Questions about this item

Will the 14-blade diaphragm need any maintenance over time?

The 14-blade diaphragm is a fixed mechanical component inside the lens barrel and does not require user maintenance.

What optical limit appears first when shooting wide open at f/0.95 for extended periods?

The extremely shallow depth of field at f/0.95 becomes the primary constraint, demanding precise manual focus on the intended subject plane.

How much heat does the lens generate during all-day shooting sessions?

The all-metal construction dissipates ambient heat passively; the lens itself produces no heat as it contains no electronic or motorised parts.
