Definitely would be good for a gimbal weight wise, and allow for even better lowlight filmmaking.

This would work well on a Micro camera, perfect size to keep it small and light for a drone or ?

If you can carefully arrange your subjects, and stay far enough away from them, you might even be able to focus that f/0.95 lens wide open in candlelight for a Barry Lyndon sequel.

The link is from 2015. Here it is:

Generally good reviews at B&H but the first couple I read indicated it doesn't get any brighter between f1.1 and f0.95.

Good catch, Steve. They may claim f/0.95, but it might be a T1.2. Even when you look at the front element, it doesn’t seem large enough for f/0.95. Compare it to other f/0.95 lenses such as the Voitlander to see the proportions don’t seem quite there.

The difference between 1.1 and 0.95 is not much, but yes. I would like to know as well. These are the sorts of lens and image I like (I haven't looked at how technically accurate it is though).

Rick, yes, true, you focus by distance run and gun. Barry Lindon, how what's his name would have loved to have a pocket, maybe Braw and a lens me this. That many candles is a work place health and safety issue.

Hey Steve, thanks. These sites get confusing sometimes as to what is current news. So, there might be a lighter/brighter then! :)

Really, if you want to go small, a pocket and the best two zooms (low and high) would let you do most things with sufficient low light ability to accommodate for the zooms.
