Yes. Two famous Zeiss examples are the 50/.7 they made for NASA's moon Hasselblad and a crappy f/.35 (IIRC) they made basically as a joke to show how stupid a specs-porn-based design approach was, as opposed to theirs of focusing on the quality of the image produced at a given aperture.

Canon made an 50/.95 rangefinder that I hear is soft, but that's to be expected. I think Serenar (appropriately) has one; he might be able to post some samples.

do you even know what the f-number means? if you did you would know that f!=<0.

There is no such thing as "best lens". Canon once made a 50mm f/1.0. Carl Zeiss once made an 50mm f/0.7 far a NASA program that was used by Stanley Kubrick in a film.

There are some others f/0.7, f/0.75, f/0.9 and /f1, but none for Nikon SLRs.

hahahahah I wish.

I have a Canon 7, but not the 0.95. I've considered it, but I'd rather get the CV 35/1.4 for my upcoming new camera which should be arriving soon.

I guess it's still possible to suggest a "best fast lens" in terms of a balance between cost, speed, and non-speed performance. In that case, the Nikkor 50/1.4 you're using is probably perfect. If you need the extra speed (very unlikely) there's a 50/1.2 still in current production.

Quite a few Noctilux (Leica 50/1) users don't get them for low light performance, but instead for its unique rendering. It's definitely not for everyone, but those guys shoot in broad daylight at f/1 with ND filters.

For lenses for this, there's a few old manual focus f/1.2 Nikkors, and that's the fastest you'll get without camera surgery, unless you can swing one of those f/.7 Zeiss lenses and a 'Blad to F adapter. (You can't, unless you're loaded and probably lucky.)

I'd like to see someone wreck a D3 into EF mount to get the Canon EF 50/1.0 on the thing.

I retract my yes. I misread your post, and saw "1" where it says "0."

You'll see when it flies in from Japan.

If you take the lens off, the f-stop becomes f/0.0
