    I have this lens. It is based on the now classic mid 20th century Sonnar design, which is only sharp from centre to edge at f8, with the edges progressively softening up to f2. Beyond f2 it becomes another lens entirely, and takes a fair amount of wrangling to get a good result. 7artisans have most definitely not cut corners on the optical quality. A most versatile optic.

    Still a cool lens despite the softness . Wouldn't bother me ! I bought a $50 vintage lens (Minolta 58 1.4) and adapted it . It appears to have the same characteristics in regards to build and IQ. Nice sample images

    Hey Reggie great review. I have the lens and man I love it. The look of the images it produces despite its imperfections is what I enjoy most. Black and whites with the Acros film simulation is a great combo. I have had multiple people comment on the “look” of the images I’ve created with it. It’s just fun to use, easy to focus light on the camera making a light and simple kit for street photography. The imperfections are just perfect for the look I want to create. Keep up the good work you’re doing. I truly enjoy your content.

      Just bought a Xpro1, yes it is 2020...close to 2021 actually 🥳, crazy huh. And I wonder what lens to go for with a fuji mount. There is a Fujinon xf 18/f2 (you reviewed Reggie) locally for 150.- and the newer xf 35/f2 for 250.- but the guy doesn‘t come back. I d like to get into manually focussing, even though it is apperantly terribly hard with the Xpro1. I am sure I can make it work. It is my experiment camera, a d I wanted one for quite some time. the other one to take family pics and bring along everywhere is my x100t.
      Can‘t wait to go out with the xpro1.
      Which non fuji have you tried and could reccomend. Another idea would be vintage glass with adapter. I have some Nikkors at home. But I like to keep the lenses as compact as possible.
      Cheers from Switzerland

    I have this lens, and I agree, the lens has character galore, and flares up at the drop of a hat; but if the conditions are right it makes stellar images.

  • @jaydevsingh3067
    @jaydevsingh3067 4 года назад +20

    This lens is not that good. Weird flares, soft corners, Focus breathing, very bad chromatic aberration.
    But at the end nothing really matters. I use it over my $700 kit lens most of the time. I just love the retro feel. Perfection is just a gimmick, enjoying the equipment matters more
    Only thing I don't like is the aperture ring is too smooth.

    I have the Meike 35mm f/1.4 for X-mount, which is not bad, and it's going for $99. The clickless aperture ring is a downside. It's easy enough to focus, and the image quality is decent. It's living on an X-E3 I picked up for use as a backup camera around Thanksgiving last year.

      True, it performs better but at 3 times the price of the Meike lens (B&H lists the Rokinon branded one at $429). It's no longer a 'cheap' lens, but still manual focus. I'd scrounge up $170 and buy the Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4, unless I really, really have to have f/1.2 for a specific purpose.

    • @reddevil433

    Hey Reggie, good video 👍🏻
    Maybe someone can help me out:
    I have this lens on my XPro1, I‘d like to use the OVF with it (zone focus obv) but a) I can‘t get accurate framelines. I have added the lens as 35mm in the menu. But doesn‘t help. Framing completely off. And b) the framelines are weak, they don‘t brighten up when shooting in daylight, strange. Doesn‘t happen with the native lenses. Framelines brighten up in daylight. Easy to read.
    I really like to get the OVF working with this lens. Not focussing of course, but at least accurate framing....anyone?

  • @achimwasp
    @achimwasp 3 года назад +2

    That seems much worse than an adapted lens from the 70s as those were made for "full frame" and give a rather sharp image on APS-C. For portraits I often use a Pentax 50/f1.7 - and those old lenses are much cheaper than the 7artisans. There are more than enough older lenses availabe so IMHO it doesn't make sense to buy a new one to get that vintage look (also think environmental conservation ...).
