Zhong Yi Optics (ZY Optics) has released a Leica M mount version of its Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm F0.95 lens, bringing an improved optical design specifically for Leica camera systems.

Unlike the Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mount versions of the lens, which are constructed of 10 elements in 7 groups, the Leica M mount version is constructed of 11 elements in 8 groups, including multiple extra-low dispersion elements. Additionally, the Leica version of the Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm F0.95 lens features a rangefinder coupling system for focus assistance.
