This new, full-frame prime lens will only work with Canon EF mount DLSRs; the design won’t work with other cameras. It’s also similar to a lens they released for mirrorless cameras, including the Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Sony FE mounts.

It’s a very fast lens at f/0.95, which Zy Optics says is the only one in the world for Canon EF mount DSLRs. It's great for low light photography and video, plus you can focus on your subject, while maintaining nice depth-of-field and beautiful bokeh. It comes with 12 lens elements in 6 groups, which helps cut down on chromatic aberration.
