Focused accurately at f0.95, the Dream Lens creates a thin sliver of definition against a background thrown deeply out of focus. Even when focused correctly, the flare produced at maximum aperture creates a soft-focus effect that contributes to the lens’ ethereal quality. Focus and exposure bracketing are crucial when using the 50mm f0.95, as it is easy to over-expose at f0.95 even at 1/1000 in dim light.
