What I really noticed the most was in bright and low light is that the focus was often off with quite bad fringing (especially in bokeh balls and highlights) at times. Problem is that it is not consistent same for the highlights. Not a pixel peeper but I found that strange, as I have not experienced it before with ttArtisan lenses.
Thanks for the post. Look its a fun lens and its a great way for poor or startup photographers to experience 1.2 and 2.8 and to play around with the in between stops. I got one and its been fun. Yes focus is an issue because its an optic around 75 and at 1.2 -2.8 and over it is difficult to focus stop on. But when it does its super joy. I'm enjoying the lens and dont have sleepless nights not been able to get the 56mm 1.2 fuji just right now. Its a lens one plays around with. If there are winner images its a bonus. I love it.
Ich benutze jene Linse an der OM-1 und bin durchaus sehr zufrieden, habe noch das Sigma 56mm f1.4 und das Lumix 42.5 mm f1.7, alles recht ähnliche Ergebnisse, f1.2 ist aber definitiv offen sehr weich und soft, wenn das Motiv passt 👍📷
Used on my xt30 but I only shoot black and white with it with focus peaking. Results are fantastic for such a budget lens .

Great way of putting it 👍👍⭐⭐⭐
In other words it has all the same problems that an expensive portrait lens has.
Hahaha well said
Exception being the sigma 56mm f/1.4 (APs-c) or Sony 85mm f/1.8 :)
Lovely little lens, joy to use.

im guessing its better that their 0.95 50mm lens , from what I see the 0.95 is very soft in the corners,plus this is much cheaper
Excellent video. Just use it on f/1.8 and preset focus on lens barrel 😊.
Excellent. Zone focus is still a project in the works
Thank you for the video, helped me a lot
Great to hear
Do you thing the 50mm f2 is better? Also hay way it’s easier to focus
I think for the price point it comes with a issues. But I'll prefer the f/2.0 as it far more practical max apperture for shooting
Great lens ,with great sharpness and bokeh.
