The CANON F.95 50mm lens was for a camera called the CANON 7 and 7S 
rangefinders. They used Leica screw mount except for the .95 which used a 
special bayonet mount outside the screw mount to allow the super fast speed 
of F.95. 

For what it's worth the Canon 50F1.4 (six elements) Leica screw mount was the 
sharpest 50 I have ever owned. The .95 though while fast is not highly 
regarded.
