I will say though in the first several minute  of watching it that they say
the .95 enables the Notion to blur the background. As if that's the main
reason why you'd get the lens. No mention of low light capturing
capabilities. You'd have to get that from inference from the name itself.
That's real bad communication writing if you ask me.
The lens is designed to capture a lot of light. Its an added bonus that you
get to have this super selective dof in the daytime hours if you'd wish. Not
the other way around.
