I love the sound when you turn the aperture ring. Manual lenses are very good options for making most out of the new cameras. They are inexpensive and pack a lot in terms of quality. Loved your video.
Just bought this lens to use on my Canon M6 Mk2. Your explanation on how to set the camera for use without a lens is perfect. This lens is quite nice to use on this camera. I have the TTArtissn 35mm f/1.4 too and will be buying the 17mm f/1.4 soon. Quite a nice set of very affordable lenses to use on the M6 Mk2. The bonus lens on my camera is the Canon EF-M 22mmf/2.0. It is very small and convenient if I need auto focus.
Thank you very much for sharing. Yes all these lenses are quite good for such a affordable pricing. Pancake lens you’re talking about 22mm is awesome. Everyone really likes that lens. Enjoy!
I took this out for the first time yesterday to an auto show on my Fujifilm X-Pro3 and really enjoyed it and the images are just amazing. I ordered the TTArtisan 35 1.4 and waiting on delivery... This was my first time using a manual focus lens since my Olympus OM system back in the 80's. Nice video..
I still use the M50 for self videos and on the go camera...its the so fun camera. I have the recent Sony and Canon bodies. Sony AR A9..Canon R5, R6... thank you for your intro to this lens... this lens will be really fun to take out for stills subject capture. It will be great for my battery life, without running the focus motor, i expect a better battery performance as well.
Here I am 😂 m50 m6markii owner with a bunch of lenses in hand , love to take photos.Landscapes , birds , nature and macro ! Woot . Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for your review and your advises, I just received this lens and I was pretty lost, I didn't know how to shoot with it... You're my savior 😇
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. I am interested in street photography and starting to learn it. I'm on a strict budget.i purchased a Conon SX710hs just to practice and start to learn and to make sure it's something I like. Eventually I want to purchase a Canon M100 and looking at manual lenses because of my strict budget. I just subscribed to your channel . Have a good day. Keep shooting
Hledal jsem něco na youtube o canon EOS M6 mark II a uslyšel jsem ryze české AHOJ!!! Nešlo se nezastavit. Na Vašem kanále je spousta pěkných videí. Váš přirozeně přátelský a lidský projev, který se prezentujete, je mi velmi sympatický a fandím Vám. I když MY ENGLISH IS REALLY TERRIBLE, tak mi to nezabrání sledovat Vaše videa 😂👍 A mimochodem do Štěpánova jezdím občas pracovně...
Dobrý den… děkuji mockrát. Vás komentář mě velice překvapil. Hlavně proto ze mluvíte o Štěpánove. Snad ten covid brzy skončí a budu moci jet zase domu na návštěvu. Z jsem v ČR nebyla 3 roky…. Moc vás zdravím, mějte se hezky
Do you know what I think I prefer the old school Pentax Takumar 1.4 or the Konica Hexicon 1.4 old school 50mm lenses but the Konica the images are stunning.
Ahoj Zdenka, Jak se maš? What a great find you introduced to me today, and just as important, how to set my Canon M-50 to start taking portraits here in Texas, where we also have a large Czech community from way back. I think I might get this lens next. I do already have the kit lens and Viltrox.
@@ZdenkaDarula Go read about Czech Texans (Czexans) on Wikipedia. You will be surprised. They are especially numerous in the Hill Country areas, which are the best places to visit, in my opinion. (Lots of old German towns too, like New Braunfels). Even I could study Czech at the University in Austin, because there were many students of that heritage seeking to reconnect with their language. One friend of mine did not realize that mleko was not an English word until college! One good thing is that there are plenty of Koláče shops even here in Dallas!
Hi can it be compared with the canon nifty 50?, since it almost at the price range besides of the adapter. Will like to know your opinion. Thank you for the review.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately I’m not able to compare them as one is strictly manual on the other one is automatic. Those are completely different lenses
Ahoj Zdenka, when I checked this lens online, I found out it has very decent reviews and for the price it is a no brainer. In my opinion, this is a must have for any starting photographer. (Like your Zenit memory, It reminds me of my first camera - dad’s Exacta with 50mm/f2.8 Tessar.) This lens is available for MFTs too, quite important for me as a die hard Olympus user. Even though I own OM Zuiko 50/1.4 that I use with OM-D adapter ring from time to time, my experience with old film prime lenses is quite mixed due to absence of additional reflective coating, so important for use on digital bodies. As your review is showing, the step up aperture setting is not ideal for cinematic shooting but it is still a fantastic lens for portraits or stills. Thanks for posting. This review is very useful.
Hi. I have a Sony A6000 + sony FE 50mm 1.8. I would like clear glass FOR PORTRAIT no matter if it has AF or not. I hesitate between the 7artisans 50mm f0.95 and the TTartisans 50mm f1.2. Will there be a big difference compared to the Sony 50mm 1.8 FE? The f1.2 light is already cool, is it worth paying extra 2x more to the f0.95 light? Thanks for advice. Greetings from the UK
Try a 135mm vintage lens like pentacon 135mm f2.8 or takumar 135mm f2.5 U can get a m42-ef adapter and use in your camera.. For full frame and speedbooater.. Try once and thank me
$112 for a F/1.2 lens is pretty awesome. I was going to suggest if people wanted to save a little $$$ to look into a brand called NEWYI as they make EF-M lens, all metal, but in 50mm, it's only F/1.8. I have their 24mm F/1.4 that cost ~ $40 and it works great in low light conditions, and even better with my M100 full spectrum conversion camera, which captures in Infrared nightvision. I mainly bought this camera for astrophotography, but the California sky's have been obscured by all the fire smoke 😢
THANKYOU for the MF peaking tip!!! My eyes aren't as good as they used to be and this has absolutely improved my photographs!!!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! ☺️
No it will not work. Viltrox adapters (including the speedbooster) are used to mount Canon EF lenses to Canon mirrorless cameras. This Artisan 50mm F/1.2 lens has a *EF-M mount* made especially for Canon mirrorless cameras.
Just looked at some of the shots taken with that lens on Fujilove. Amazing for a lens at under £100/$100!! But.. how reliable is the shipping from China? Anyone bought one and had any issues?
@@ZdenkaDarula I am a beginner and I want to take portraits, I have the same m50 Mark ii, what lens do you suggest? I'm thinking 18-150 mm or 55-200mm will they work for street photography and closeups ? Or is there other lens that you suggest? Thank you.
Nothing like a great bargain. Now they need to make a bargain 50mm 1.2 for crop and full frame. I have a 50mm 1.4 and I barely wanted to dish out that kinda of cash. The 1.2 I refuse to fork over a thousand plus dollars, no way
Another great video, Zdenka! I love your videos, so informative, and this lens seems to be quality at a great price. But....but...but....I HATE bokeh. I wish people would stop using it. It's 'arty farty' and it's going to look dated very soon. (That said, I'm looking forward to your next video). For a master class in perfect focus everyone should take a look at the Orson Welles film Citizen Kane. Absolute perfection of focus throughout the film. So, no more bokeh folks, OK? :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts…. Bikes shots are only for certain shots… not for everything which yes I agree with you. People think they should see it in all shots
The aperture ring sound is so satisfying!

Ahoy! Canon M50 owner here!!! Enjoyed your video. I only have kit lens and adapter for using my EF lenses.
Welcome and thank you for sharing
Happy Monday Zdenka,
That really is a reasonably priced lens. That means more money for other things :-)
Yes it is very reasonable price
Canon m50 is my favourite camera and as always your the best teacher 😊
Thank you very much for your support
Thank you for the setting explanation!
You are very welcome
Great explanation & guidance on manual focus lens. Thanks❤️

I'm getting a lot of use on my M50. I have a Sigma 150-600 C EF lens, and the Canon 17-55 f2.8 EF-S lens.
Thank you very much for sharing
I'm about to get this lens thank you i found your review! hope it functioned well with my m3 😊
You are very welcome. Enjoy
Should we use peaking highlights in manual focus? what's your opinion?
It is up to you… I use it as it helps to see where the focus is
great video quality and good explanation. Keep it up!

Which one you prefer between the nifty-fifty (canon 50mm 1.8) and this lens. I’m hesitating right now.
For photos both are good…. Video nifty fifty

I wish I could answer all those questions but I unfortunately don’t have those lenses…, sorry
There is nothing intimating about that lens for those who are coming from the 70s all manual lenses and cameras, Great review. I love your channel.
Thank you very much for your support and kind words
The intro and the lighting and the room look peter McKinnon's ❤️
I guess that as a compliment thank you… I would say it’s the other way around. His setting looks like mine expect way more expensive 😂😂😂👍
What adapter did you get for your mirrorless camera in order to use the ttartisan lens?
No adapter….
If any possible to use this lens combine with canon DSLRs ?
No this is only for Canon M mount
Ahoy! I have m43 version for my gh5. Acquired for low light situations.
Thank you very much for sharing
I may need try this lens. Wished it was good for astrophotography...but i can use for night street shooting.
It is excellent in low light… yes for your purpose you need something else
Hi, But in My Canon EOS M50 the C.Fniii:Operation/Others option didn’t find to enable the lens. Any suggestions please?
Appreciated your response.
I am very sorry I don’t have the camera anymore… this is quite old video so I don’t know… sorry
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks for the response. However I have found the option under camera settings after a small research.
Hi, do you need adaptor for this? I got an m50 mark 2
No you don’t need one
Lovely, full-hearted Slavic girl! 💖
(Not the usual RUclipsr marketer style 🤭)
Thank you very much for your support
You said "Chào" in the end, i like it.
Thank you very much
Hi madam I am language Telugu aur video excellent quality... Best voice
Thank you very much for your support
Try a 135mm vintage lens like pentacon 135mm f2.8 or takumar 135mm f2.5
U can get a m42-ef adapter and use in your camera.. For full frame and speedbooater..

Hi Zdenka, .... sound is strange today... lots of echo...?
Yes I noticed the settings in post got messed up.., I fixed it for the next video
Just ordered mines
Enjoy!!!
Thank you
thank! 🥰
You are very welcome
Did you tray the Kamlan 50 mm mark 2 🤔
Unfortunately I don’t have access to that
Will it work in canon m200. You didnt say abour canon m200
Please check the compatibility list on their website.
THANKYOU for the MF peaking tip!!! My eyes aren't as good as they used to be and this has absolutely improved my photographs!!!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! ☺️
You are very welcome
Does it work on Canon SL3?
I’m not sure sorry please check compatibility list
so this is 80mm full frame equivalent?
No it’s not
will it work with the Viltrox speedbooster?
No it will not work. Viltrox adapters (including the speedbooster) are used to mount Canon EF lenses to Canon mirrorless cameras. This Artisan 50mm F/1.2 lens has a *EF-M mount* made especially for Canon mirrorless cameras.
You got the answer from someone else…. Yes voltaic speedbooster is only for EF lenses
Hi can you please tell me a good mobile lens please......
To be honest the lenses you already have on your smartphone are the ones
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for your reply.....
@Discharge Conductor thank you for your suggestion .
amazing video

Just looked at some of the shots taken with that lens on Fujilove. Amazing for a lens at under £100/$100!! But.. how reliable is the shipping from China? Anyone bought one and had any issues?
Not to worry about shipping… it is Amazon warehouse
It's on Amazon I bought mine there
Is it compatible on my canon 550D ?
This is for M mount cameras
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you
Is it 50mm on apsc or 75?
On canon m6 mark ii it is 50mm
Super :)
Thank you very much for your support
did you have to calibrate it
No, I didn’t have to do anything
what's the point of having a lens that opens to 1.2 but can't be used until f/2?
It can be used…., Only the best quality starts at F/2.0
One day, will need it after getting a camera 🙉
Wishing you all the best
But without image stabilization I don't think it will work for portraits
It might be a little bit harder

I have M50 here but a want a Canon R6 😅
That would be nice
ill never get it. Why dont people ever show video samples
I wouldn’t use it for video myself as it is manual lens…. That is why I rather show what I would use it for …. Photography
👍👍

Not for Sony…. Give me 1 week…. I have something for Sony
@@ZdenkaDarula Absolutely, I will be watching! Thanks!
Okay, so almost a month later and still nada for the Sony e-mount. Thanks anyway.
I just bought it,i knew it has alot of fringing but i dont care it's "dirt cheap" XD
Thank you for sharing and enjoy
dirt cheap don't mean poor quality....
Absolutely agreed
Same price as the af 50mm 1.8. I was tricked by the cheap 😬
Yes but you need adapter or speed booster which will add the price and it is F/1.2 not f/1.8
@@ZdenkaDarula still, manual on the cost of af and 1.8.
70 bucks would be cheap. You can get f0.9 for the price of this 1.2
Here!!🤣
Ok 😂😂
