Originally designed and manufactured for stills photography in the early 1960s, Canon 50mm f0.95 ‘dream lens’ was the fastest produced lens for commercial use at the time. Due to the single coated elements, which had an amber tint, it led to the lens earning the unofficial title of ‘dream lens’. The lens has a beautiful character when used wide open and gives a creamy bokeh which is enhanced by the replacement circular iris when the lens is rehoused. This lens was slightly later to the rehousing scene due to the constraints of the cameras at the time. As the rear element sits closer to the film plane, it was not possible to use on film cameras with a spinning mirror. Further to this, the size of the optics toward the rear meant a difficult solution to fit within a PL mount. However, since the adoption of the LPL mount, this gave enough mechanical freedom to begin rehousing.
