Nice review! Perfect pre-focus lens... set to f5.6 and 1+ meters... walk around, point and shoot. Great price... $166 USD. Nice to see many new MFT lens coming out for this “forgotten” platform.😉
Really useful video and the lens looks rather nice. What apertures did you use? I have the Meike 35mm f1.4 (MFT) and have found it pretty sharp and with lovely colour rendition. Maybe worth a look if you've not seen it before. I've also used the 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 which is quite nice but not up to the standard of the Meike 35mm.
Mainly wide open to be fair! Haven't tried that 35mm lens on the MFT mount but I liked it on the Fujifilm system: ruclips.net/video/imINEitepAI/видео.html I tried the 55mm too: ruclips.net/video/9RxiaQUWFYs/видео.html
Back in the day I've shot with that Olympus 12mm f2, and that lens was amazing. These days I've got an 12mm f2 from Samyang for my Fuji cameras. Yes, that lens could be a tad better, but I won't complain...
Thinking about picking up one of these, but am trying to figure out what the FOV will be like on my camera (Lumix BGH1). What camera did you use for the sample photos and videos in this?
hello excellent content on your channel !!! I have the gx80 and I have the 12-35mm pancake and I am interested in knowing if this 12mm pergear is sharper and if it is worth investing in it, what do you think? which is better speaking of sharpness?
Looks like Pergear is the new 7artisans, offering great bargain prices. Too bad this is not aps-c too, we could really use some fast and cheap, sub-25mm manuals😁
Great review Damian. Can't believe you uploaded on Christmas day! 👍👍
Nothing like a sticking to a good schedule 😂

Agreed!!! Love my little GX80 :)
Looks to be another excellent budget lens Gr8 revue once again !
Budget lenses aren't half bad these days I reckon

Good idea!

I guess for the extra light maybe.

They make this lens i know for Fuji x mount. It’s a new lens so they are probably still rolling out the rest of the mounts
Comfy Reviews Amazon has them as well
Definitely! I've seen some nice budget gear from them
The mount I really want!
Looks very nice
Definitely!
Does it have any contacts to the camera at all - for EXIF data etc. or is it totally dumb? Nice photos of Brum by the way. Pete
Thanks Pete! Brum is constantly changing right?!
Ye the lens is totally dumb :)
This lens vs samyang's offering for fuji x should i pay extra or get this budget option
I love the Samyang on X mount, haven't used it on this mount... based on this it's tough call. I'd have to try it on the same mount to be fairer.
Damian, another great review. Would like to see and hear your review of the 7 Artisans 12mm f2.8. Happy New Year!
Thank you!
Actually I looked at that lens on the Fujifilm system, if it's any use to you here's the link ruclips.net/video/dhqlsub1wwY/видео.html
You could review the 7artisans 35 0.95
I have but for Fujifilm X Mount ruclips.net/video/LQ82YgkI3dc/видео.html
How does it compare to the Samyang 12mm?
I've only use the Samyang on Fujifilm which I really liked!
