wtf where’s the review

Definitely find yourself a Leica M8. You need it.

How do shoot with F8 with low light conditions?

I love this lens--it's my go-to for street photography. My only issue is that every month or so, I need to tighten the 3 screws on the mount.

Please help. I have a 7artisans 25mm in a Lumix G7 (micro 4/3) the problem is that the meter scale is not accurate at all. Are those lenses better than mine on that issue?

I have a Sony NEX-5 and was using the TTattisan 25mm f/2 during a recent trip. I found either I was totally misunderstanding the concept of zone focusing or the markings on the lens were not quite accurate. I got better focus using f/8 and on camera settings using the focus peaking level set to red to guide me to better focus. Once set that way and leaving the focus alone after that the images were as you say- acceptably well. No going back and checking focus unless I had diddled the focus ring.

I see you have shot with the xpro 2 and xt3. I’ve owned both and there’s no difference in the way they operate than the xt5 operates. Plus you shoot a Sony. The most difficult menu I’ve ever used. If what you say is true you need to be shoot film. Digital is a computer and there designed to do the stuff for you. The closest I’ve come to making it simple is on my M leicas.

Cincy is one of my favorite American cities! I'm thrilled to see this video!

Have you had problems with sunlight stains?

1 year later. How do you feel about it now?

Thanks for this discussion on zone focusing. I have an old Olympus EPL-1 M43 that I received as a gift back when it was new, really only used it a little in the various auto modes. I dug it out all these years later curious to do more. I find street photography interesting, I picked up the TT Attisans 25 f2...and ran into a struggle to focus it on the little lcd (no viewfinder). Now I understand what to do.

Agreed with you 100%

Man you are one straight talking sense kind of guy. No bullshit. I am one british gut who loves you video cintent. You have inspired me to shoot more as I have always wanted to eith win a photograpic competition or at least get something interesting Ive taken published. Keep your blasé attitude and no bullshit going.X pro 1 user struggling a wee bit with it, soon to have a TT Artisan 25mm lens.

I've had this lens about 3 weeks, love it. Using it on an ancient Lumix G1, superb. Mainly street stuff so far. Manual focus for static subjects, otherwise zone focus. Works great. £69 here in UK

Nice video! There’s a sale going on Amazon right now so I just ordered the 25mm for my X-E2. I’m very happy with their 27mm 2.8 lens, but I have been wanting a manual lens for a while. Cant believe this lens replaced all your Fuji lenses, that’s awesome!

Hi Jason would you recommend this lens for a beginner (using fuji xe2) in a streetfotography scenario? Or is it to hard or to frustrating to figure out how to focus like you

Awesome video, I really enjoyed it!

5:47 nice framing

Powerful stuff man, love it!

Maybe for people approaching hipster level 5000 a Kodak Brownie is all they need.

Echoing your sentiments on the lens. Happy with mine on a Canon RF mount.

Nice, when the weather is nice people tend to be out more. Not as much in the winter. I always find myself shooting into windows to make a shot more interesting when there’s no one around.

I love this review 👍👍👍

Lucky I don't have a current camera... going to buy the X-T5 today instead of the X100-VI :D

The 3 marking on this lens is in metric 3M is in meters so the distance in feet is more like 10 feet.

I just went on TrueDoF App which shows your depth of field ranges for a variety of situations.If you plug in 25 mm at 1.5 for apsc sensor size using f8 you get 15 feet to infinity in acceptably sharp focus.If you If you keep f8 but set your focus to 15 feet then everything from 8 feet to infinity is in acceptable focus. Set focus at 12 feet everything from 7 feet to 60 feet is in focus. You need f 11 to do 7 feet to infinity focusing at 14 feet. F 11 should still fall within capacity of apsc for no bad diffraction softening, usually, would be interesting to test that on this glass. I find the tendency to focus at infinity actually cuts down on potential closer distances unless you are really interested only in deep scenes with no closer interest elements. The app uses I believe a relatively standard setting for the circle of confusion, ie when softness overtakes sharpness which is of course subjective but I think this app uses a standard accepted calculation. Hope this info is helpful the app is really good😀

Your picture, in my opinion, is the personification of a clueless innocence trying to hide itself in a world it knows it does not belong to. There's 8 billion people, 8 billion happenings 24/7, and only a handful like this one will ever be captured with a genuine feeling. Thank you for sharing this photo.

Great video! But I do not get how you can zoom 600% without the image getting pixelated? It looks like the image is vector graphics as it not deteriorates at all at that extreme zoom.. Kinda weird.. My images look pixelated at 150% zoom..

Hi. What focus distance do you use and what f/stop do you use? Happy New Year. (PS - I have the same lens, but I haven't tried zone focussing yet...)

Got my copy yesterday and I’m very impressed with the sharpness in areas where it is able to focus! Experimented a bit by keeping objects at .5m intervals from the camera and photographing at different apertures and zone ranges. I could only get reasonable sharpness for objects placed at distances corresponding to the second half of the zone. Eg. If the aperture is set to f8 and zone upper limit set to infinity, then the zone lower limit falls at ~.9m and the zone center at ~2m. I could only get sharp images of objects at 2m and beyond. Anything between .9m and 2m was totally blurry! I think this is what happened at 3:50 in the video. Jason mentioned earlier in the video that he shot all images at f8 and upper limit of the zone at infinity. The woman was slightly blurry but the trash can was in focus. Jason said he was 6ft (2m) away, right at the middle of the zone.

Love that scene ❤..You should visit India and I’m sure that you will find something special.🫡

Thank you for this realistic review!!

"Sharp enough" is one of the most refreshing things I've head on a RUclips video. So tired of excessive pixel peeping reviews.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but it will live on my Fuji Xe2s as a dedicated street/B&W kit. You video has me even more excited!

Does it also depend on sensor size? For example (for a 25mm lens) hyperfocal distance is 3,93 meters at f8 for a Fujifilm APSC sensor camera but 2,63 meters at f8 for a full frame camera.

Mines coming in the post in a couple of days, going to use it with a sony nex c3, been using a fujian 35mm cctv lens, i love that lens, but i need a clicked aperture ring.

What I like from this lens is actually the soft rendering, not a deep friend rendering the phone camera gives.

Nobody wants to see you gulping down a drink eating or sounding like a drunk fool. I give us video 1 out of 10 at least you answered one decent question what are the marks on the lens that's the focal distance. Also with my match on the camera you used but that is no guarantee it will match on others.

I’m new to photography 😊 so glad to come across your channel 😊

Totally agree. I use the same camera and lens and I love the combination.

I’m just waiting for new photography content…you do some amazing work thanks for sharing your content

If you zoom in 600%, just about ANY lens will break down! People need to realise that this is a $60 lens and, bang for the buck, it's excellent.

Too good is a thing! Im using xpro2 and the ttartisan 25 pure heaven

I use zone focusing with my TT Artisans 25mm f/2 also and it works just fine. A suggestion; if you like the TT Artisans 25mm f/2 you might want to check out its big brother, the 50mm f/2. They look nearly identical (about the same size) and performance is just as good as the 25/2. It gives you a little more reach should you need it and the cost is about $70.

Keep doing the great work; this world needs more of it.

This and the 80mm macro are my favorite lenses for fuji. And get CLOSER 😊 Also not enough people in that town, on that day

I picked up the 25mm and l love it! I then bought the 50. I have the 25 on my X-T30 II and the 50 on my X-T3. My AF lenses haven't seen light since, 56 f1.2 and 35 f2. I am glad you made this video, I thought I was the only one loving these lenses.

Love the vids you've made on the TTArtisan 25mm F2! ^^

Thanks man!! Yeah, so far I love the lens. The build quality is extremely good for a 60-70 lens. I appreciate you making a video demonstrating how you use the focus scale and the results you get.
