Best Ultra-fast 50mm Lenses for Bokeh in 2022

50mm Lenses Comparison

I am always a big fan of 50mm ultra-fast lenses, especially Leica rangefinder M mount lenses. Faster the better? Fast lenses also mean more significant viewfinder blockage, but I have been learning to stick with that in the past decade. Learning these fast lenses can do some magic and pain in the ass to carry them around.

So I have made this causal bokeh comparison (non-scientific) without sharing much about what I think, I would like you to comment below to let me know which one you like the best! I hope you guys can choose the lens you like and, most importantly, enjoy what you already have or think about what you want to get next!
