Re: Mitakon for me, but perhaps not for you

I have read several customer reviews of this lens, people that have actually bought and tested this lens, and although the lens barrel aperture ring is marked 0.95 most feel that at best it is 1/4 stop faster than the Fuji f/1.4 and not one stop faster.

I read several raving reviews of the Mitakon (that is, they liked it) and I don't recall any of them saying that the lens isn't much faster than the Fuji 35mm F1.4.

Can you provide a link to this?

Here are a few of the reviews I've read:
