Really appreciate all the work you put in these videos. They're so entertaining, easy to watch, and honest. No dumb comments against one brand, no "just get more expensive lenses", only great advice and solid information. I'll definitely buy some of these lenses for my first camera, the Fujifilm XS-10. It's great to have channels like yours out there. Keep up the good work !
Mark, thank you for making this video. It's exactly the type of content that I like. And to include the links to the original reviews and the ones for purchase is an added bonus. Hope your health is continuing to improve. Greetings from NH. 😊
Looking for a mirrorless APS-C. Probably Sony A6700. Incredible videos Mark! So informative and helpful. Best videos I’ve seen across the board. Update: after researching, and thanks to this video in particular, I’ve ordered three lenses from this extensive review. Thanks Mark! You’re my new favorite😊
TTArtisans 27mm 2.8 here. As long as you are OK with heavy vignetting in the widest two stops, this lens is amazing. On the ZVE-10 it is very small and light so I am more likely to carry this camera on a whim and take a lot more photos.
Thanks for going over all these! I've bought several budget lenses at your suggestion and you've never steered me wrong. One lens I'd add to this lineup: the 7artisans 35mm f1.4 for APS-C, which might be my favorite budget lens. It's under $70, has great bokeh, and is pretty sharp wide open. I don't have the TTartisan 35mm f1.4, so I don't know how it compares, but the 7artisans 35mm is my go to lens for low-light as well as walkaround photography when I want to get a bit tighter than my TTartisan 25mm f2.
Thank you for the great overview! I’ve already bought TTartisans 56 AF, and love it. I’m not exactly sure which lens will be next, but this video helps a lot.
Thank you Mark so much for making this video! I have watched so many of your videos to decide on what to get next and it’s just great that you put them all together in one I bought ttartisan 56mm 1.8 and i love using it, i think next one probably will be ttartisan35mm 1.8
I really like kamlan lenses and i have never seen one of them in videos like this. Specially the kamlan 50mm F1.1 mk2 its a beast! Yeah its big and heavy, but its razor sharp and have a lot of character and a special flare resistance
Great timing for the video! Appreciate all the work you put into it. Very extensive, covering a lot of ground, yet concise and straight to the point when it comes to the individual lenses. I'm sure it must have taken a lot of time to prep, film and edit the video and we all appreciate how much work and passion you put into it! Always going the extra line. Off topic but do you have any advice/idea on where to look for an affordable fuji camera? I would like to switch from my dear old Sony a6000 to a fuji one, probably only in the market for a used Fuji since even those are still kind of expensive (relatively speaking ofc). I was hoping to catch a decent black friday deal but no luck so far.
Interesting summary as ever Mark. For talking head videos (shot across the depth of a desk) I'm assuming your 17mm Manual Focus is your main recommendation on APS-C. I recall it from your other videos. If I'd hoped to get an Auto Focus to help with other uses too, then would the Viltrox 20mm AF be the best alternative? The budget AF lenses don't seem to get shorter than that...? Or would the 20mm=30mm be too zoomed in on such a short range setup? Thinking in more detail my big desk is about 800mm deep (31.5 inches), with a human in chair being a bit further away. Hmm. Still trying to decide whether to start with a cheap used Sony (say rather old model 5100, 6000) at under £300/£350. The Black Friday fairies are trying to tempt me with original ZV-E10 at £499 new, when it retails used at around 440-494 from MPB.
@@markwiemelsYeah, they're conspiring to empty my wallet. The ZVE-10 is remarkable at the sale price £499 body. We're not seeing all the lens deals offered on UK Amazon, though curiously the Viltrox 20mm 2.8 FE AF is cheap at £140. The TTaftisan 17mm 1.8 MF E is £139 (no discount).
@@markwiemels Noticed some other candidates in 16mm to 18mm AF/FF eg. from Samyang, etc but they're generally around £350, so a used Sigma 16mm APS-C is a similar price. And some call the Sigma the gold standard. A few people reviewed the Yongnuo 16mm AF APS-C and had it as a budget choice to the Sigma. It's also usually in the £250-350 price range. But just now I got offered stacked discounts on Yongnuo's own website that comes out at £149+postage. Intriguing. Have you ever looked at their lenses?
With all the manual focus lenses you use, do you have any videos where you really go into detail about your techniques for getting sharp focus with a manual focus? I was fine with manual focus when I had old school SLR cameras with a prismatic focus reticle. But, I seem to have a hard time with just focus peaking.
Hi Mark, love your work. I have a Canon so I'm mostly out of luck. I'll check out your upcoming camera video to buy a Sony full frame (I guess) so I can take advantage of these fun lenses. Thanks
hmm, i have to say that my sharpest lens fully open on an a6600 is the Brightin Star 35mm f0.95. yeah sure, that could men that all my other lenses are crap, but seriously - mine is a razor. same on the a5100.
With chinese "cheap" manual lenses and with old vintage lenses you have a wide sample variation. Even with more modern lenses. I have three nifty fifty Canon EF STM lenses. One is bad, lack sharpness, and messy image. One is what you expect from the nifty fifty, and the last one is the best of the three. So, if you get a good copy just be happy. It means you are a lucky man.
I got the TTArtisan 50mm F/2 lens. It has quite the flaw and character, but I truly love it for being the smallest 50mm lens you could natively mount on mirrorless APS-C cameras; it's perfect for candid photos of people due to it's miniscule profile yet long enough focal length.
I just re-tested mine. It's actually the second copy I have owned of the lens, the first one was soft in the center, and I got rid of it, but just bought it on Z mount. After reading your comment, I tested the lens on the chart, and sure enough! VERY sharp in the center, wide open! Thanks so much for correcting this. My original copy was one of the first ones off the line, maybe even a demo copy, so I suspect it had some flaws. I excited to re-test and make a new video about the lens now!
Hey Mark, I bought the FX30 today to start the work on my filmmaking learning, on the personal side I want to take pictures and videos of my pregnant wife and upcoming baby. Can you suggest a good and budget lens under 500$ for over all photography and videography and also helps my filmmaking journey ? Looking forward to hear from you Mark Cheers!
I bought the Brightin Star 35mm after watching this channel and I absolutely love it. It has also made me appreciate manual focus, real old school! Three months ago I would have scoffed at the idea of buying a budget lens, now I want to fill my camera bag with them!😂
Mate taking photos of the Melbourne library's dome interior with my phone in wide angle made me realise the value of wide angle for me. so i bought that 10mm for my next trip.
Awesome video! I have Fuji AF lenses for work, but when I want to have fun, I always reach out for these small MF lenses. They always come out with memorable photos.
Hey mark i have sony a6600 with sony 18 135 for now . But now i want to add 2 3 lenses one by one . Can you please recommend one of the best focal length choices of yours. Which i should definately go for and they are worth every penny and a good alternative to their original highly expensive ones. Love from 🇮🇳
@markwiemels can you help me for choosing the brand too Sigma Tt artisian or sony . But i need cheaper ones but no compromise in quality though can you tell the 3 lenses with their aperture value too so i can wishlist them and buy
I'll save the video for the next year when I'll decide which mirrorless system to get. Sony, Nikon, Canon or Fuji. Now I watched the video, it's very informative, I'll watch it again when buying a lens
@@BulkierFive921, I did that a while back and the only thing I'd change is not buying the DSLR in the first place... If you're not into video and need an EVF, get the 6 or 7. If you are ok without the EVF, go for the 5R/5T
i was confuse should pick 85mm 7artisans or 75mm tt artisans because sometimes i like shoot object quite far (i don't have telephoto lens also carrying telephoto / zoom lens are quite risk in here) i guess i found my answer now
I'd love to see a video like this but for greater focal lengths. I know they tend to be more expensive but it would be great to know which ones are the cheapest and their quality
Do you think its worth it to invest in more expensive lenses like the viltrox 13mm 1.4 or the 27mm f1.2? I dont want a big lens collection and I never tried manual focus lenses
Another great video, Mark....question for you please...Are there any good budget ASP-C lenses available with L mount? Would like some good, but small lenses for my Leica CL. And I know that one option is to use lens adapters.....but that makes lens longer.....UPDATE - Checked TTArtisans website & there are some L mount lenses, but several are sold out. Will look for other sources.
@@jimmiles33 Already have 2 Leica lenses....so, have invested quite a bit already....just thought it might be fun to use some other lenses at a more modest cost.....
Yes, there are a few, but I don't know which off hand. You just have to go into each listing and check. There seems to be fewer of them released on L recently.
@@markwiemels Thanks for your reply.....I checked TTArtisan's website today....while they have some L mounts, several are are noted as 'Out of Stock'.....maybe they'll get some more? Will check some of the other companies.......thanks.
@markwiemels Hey mark one last help i need from you as for sony a6600 i have 18 135 sony variable aperture lens. As i asked you what lenses should now i can go for . As you told me about 23 to 25 mm and for wide 10 to 12mm and telephoto like 35 56 mm . Can you tell me exact from which brand and exact aperture should i go with . Then these lenses will probably in my wishlist to buy this year . As i am in a low budget and need autofocus too with sharpness and good quality so what will be best buy in budget please tell. Thank you waiting for you reply.
Hi Mark, picked up a TTartisan 27mm f2.8 AF Z mount lens to use with my new Nikon Z50II but the lens will not work at all despite me updating the lens firmware to the most recent version on TTArtisan's download centre. In AF modes, when AF is selected it shows manual focus selected. Also there is no F number displayed at all, even when the aperture ring is set to A. Also manual focus doesn't seem to be working either. I don't have access to any other Z mount bodies to try it on. Any hints or tips to get it working with my Z50II?
Ok, could be a faulty lens. From what you have shared, the camera is not talking to the lens. Have a look at the lens/body contacts (on both) make sure it all look ok and is clean (no dust or tape or something).
@@markwiemels thanks, the lens is brand new, there's no visible obstruction or damage to the contacts on the lens or body, looks like I may have got a dud.
@@markwiemels thanks, the lens is brand new, there's no visible obstruction or damage to the contacts on the lens or body, looks like I may have got a dud.
Thanks for another comprehensive video Mark! I was quite impressed with the TTArtisan 56mm f/1.8, not only has a much better build quality than it's sibling 27mm f/2.8, but the image quality is also better. And for the price the 27mm f/2.8 is quite good on a 24MP sensor! I wanted to get the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.8 but it's sold out except for Sony last time I checked. Might try the Viltrox one, but I am more interested in the Meike 33mm f/1.4 that is supposed to release on Fuji soon.
The Meike 33 f1.4 has been out for a few months now for Fuji, it was the first mount they released it on. There are a few reviews on it, looks like an incredible lens! But I agree about the TTArtisan lenses, I also have both the 56 and 27 (and the 10 lol)
I have several of these lenses, and my biggest regret is the Risespray CCTV lenses. You might get a good one, or you might get a piece of crap. Mine is in between. My cameras hate it, and I can’t focus it on anything at any distance. I have pulled it from my bag, and I am not sure where it’s at right now. That said, your camera might like it….
@@markwiemelsI have that one and I love it! But I'm searching for a longer FL, between 150 and 350. But the only ones I've found are the sony 70 350 which is very expensive and pretty slow, and the tamron 70 300 which is cheaper but still slow and huge. Do you have any other suggestions?
Hi Mark, this was a nice overview of these lenses in context of whats available, with so many options things gets confusing fast! I have a couple of the lenses on the list and agree with your assessment!
It's funny to me how pro photographers get obsessed with all the details. I've only been into photography for about 3 months though and I almost got into APSC cameras too but decided to go full frame for digital video instead and get an Epson V850 scanner for 35mm and up to potentially 8x10 analog photography So I'm getting an Olympus Pen FT (35mm half frame), Nikon F5 (35mm full frame) and a Nikon Z6 ii (4K digital video). With adapters I can use Nikon AF-S lenses with all of these cameras. I'm so exited about it!
The OREO lens is so much fun. It brought me back doing street photography for one night just for the fun of playing with it. Crazy how low quality sometimes stimulates you more than top tier gear.
Be sure to check the description for the dedicated videos and lens links.
Thank you Mark.
36 has the wrong link lol
Nice video, so many choices. However, when using 50mm 1.8stm on canon aps-c, face is somehow distorted, so ordered an artisan 35mm 1.4 to try it out.
@@sebastiangutierrez5357 Thanks for telling me! I just fixed it. If no one tells me, I will never know, so thank you.

@@ofthenearfuture thanks for the info about the Meike 33mm f/1.4! I must have missed it.
You might want to get the 35mm 0.95 and stop it down a bit
@@giovanni8120 I might get that one instead later down the road, since I am actually hunting for the Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R.
Thank you for amazing video !!
Wow!! What a video
Love from yemen .ur Bigest fan
Yes, a 7/10, and not in a good way :-(
Hi
U forgot to add 100mm 2x macros in the discription list
I have several of these lenses, and my biggest regret is the Risespray CCTV lenses. You might get a good one, or you might get a piece of crap. Mine is in between. My cameras hate it, and I can’t focus it on anything at any distance. I have pulled it from my bag, and I am not sure where it’s at right now. That said, your camera might like it….
We need a 20 bucks 400-600mm lense 😁
What a bout a decent budget zoom telephoto lens?
There are some, but they tend to be over $200, which was to cut off for this video. Sigma 18-50mm is a good one for Canon, Sony, Fuji.
@@markwiemelsI have that one and I love it! But I'm searching for a longer FL, between 150 and 350. But the only ones I've found are the sony 70 350 which is very expensive and pretty slow, and the tamron 70 300 which is cheaper but still slow and huge. Do you have any other suggestions?
@@riccardofoschiTamron 100-400 is surprisingly good.
@@simmo303 thanks I'll take a look at it!
Full frame lenses please
Please
39:57 Great sequence of photos xD
Thanks.
these CCTV lenses are super vintage fun. i tried some Fujian lenses and they are center sharp and degrading to the frame border. vintage. awesome.
Just what I needed before Black Friday. Great content as always!
Fantastic video! Than you
👏👏👏 thx Mark!
Great Content, Thanks
Thanks.
Great vlog sir
Lovely. Would love to see more pancake options for APSC.
Why no Samyang/Rokinon? They are optically better than any of these artisans and stars at pretty much the same price point
The price point cut off was $200. Their lenses are mostly over that.
awesome video
Thanks.
viltrox 56 f1.7 is the king to me
It's soo goo for the price... good at any price actually.
Deyyymmmmmm Arthur R just made top 10 like 3 week ago.. as poor photographer this is heaven
Ten? All the cool people make videos with 36. ;-) Who does 10 anymore?
39:16 - I both like Oreos and think this lens is cool. Just don’t have it around when eating real Oreo or you might have a bad time 😂
hahahahaha....
Hi Mark, this was a nice overview of these lenses in context of whats available, with so many options things gets confusing fast! I have a couple of the lenses on the list and agree with your assessment!
It's funny to me how pro photographers get obsessed with all the details. I've only been into photography for about 3 months though and I almost got into APSC cameras too but decided to go full frame for digital video instead and get an Epson V850 scanner for 35mm and up to potentially 8x10 analog photography
So I'm getting an Olympus Pen FT (35mm half frame), Nikon F5 (35mm full frame) and a Nikon Z6 ii (4K digital video). With adapters I can use Nikon AF-S lenses with all of these cameras. I'm so exited about it!
Sound really cool!
The OREO lens is so much fun. It brought me back doing street photography for one night just for the fun of playing with it. Crazy how low quality sometimes stimulates you more than top tier gear.
theres a cheap tamron 35mm 2.8 with 1:2 makro
or i bought also the tokina 56mm 1.4 for 160€ used
JUST YESTERDAY MY RISESPRAY 35MM F1.6 IS DELIVERED AND I LOVE IT. EIDT: I TYPED IT WHEN I WAS YAWNING AND MY CAPS IS ON.
Wait, we getting this for free?
