Brightin Star has launched a new 50mm f/0.95 lens, and incredibly, that super-large maximum aperture isn't the lens's headline feature. No, the main talking point with the new lens is its fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark focus and aperture scale markings. Assuming these have been energized with enough sunlight during the day, it should make the lens usable at night, in minimal ambient light.
This isn't the first time we've seen a lens with fluorescent scale markings. One such example is the Irix 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone lens which features engraved focus distance markings filled with UV-reactive paint so they too should glow in the dark at night.
