- Cameraworld was nice enough to send me the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 for a while so I figured I'd test it along with the 35mm f/1.4 and see what happens. That being said, I wasn't paid to say anything nice about these lenses so this is my honest opinion.

(As far as I know, they're the only ones with TTArtisan lenses in South Africa at the moment.)

Sucks when little channels like this don’t show up in searches. What a gem of a channel! Keep it up man. Thanks for the detailed reviews. Was looking to see if these were good for product photography and I got my answer. 🙌🏽 keep it up
Ah thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it could help! Check out reviews by @christopherfrost he does a more in-depth breakdown of the lenses regarding the technical aspects!
Wow man! all of the other guys will just test out the bokeh, sharpness ,blah blah blah when they get these fast chinese lenses but none of them shot extreme low light with them. I was always curious about how these perform under extreme low light, say 0.1 lux. you did it and have my respect! shooting above 12800 iso with some denoising might look even better. Cheers!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yeah, I really tried to push it. In real life scenarios I shoot with higher iso's and the image comes out great with beautiful bokeh and flares. Definitely a great lens for the price!
That's some fantastic infotainment content, loved it. You gave a pretty in-depth demonstration of both the lenses! Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your appreciation 😅😉
Honestly one of the bes, comprehensive, and easy to understand comparisons and reviews of glass for a novice filmmaker and photographer like myself , please do not stop what you are doing.
I am so glad you got something out of this, keep on creating and thanks for supporting!
Wow, I'm so impressed by your detailed and honest review of the TTArtisan lenses! Your video was incredibly informative, and I appreciate the effort you put into showcasing their capabilities. It's refreshing to see content from a creator who values authenticity over promotional bias. Keep up the great work! You deserve way more subscribers for the quality of your content. Looking forward to more amazing videos like this. Cheers dude!
Oh wow, thank you for the kind words! It's people like you that makes it worth all the effort :)
It's like the best lens review I've seen
Great work!
Thank you!
Great test, i expected the f0.95 to perform a little bit better with the candle light but the f1.4 35mm surprised me more
Me too! It does have a biiit more light. But surprisingly not that much.
Love seeing your content man, keep doing the do
Thank you! Much appreciated 😃
Keep going Steve. Nice content
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
I use the 50mm f 0.95 on my R5 or R7 for portraits and events. Some street. Almost always in B&W - and love it! Clients love the look. Over my Canon RF 50mm f 1.2 !
Wow, it's crazy compared to the RF lens!! But Maybe the RF is just TOO sharp? Clients might just like the "dreamy creamy" look which is fantastic. Thanks for watching the video!
I have a TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 ef-m lens. My other crazy manual focus lens is a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1, also ef-m mount. They do good in low light. Good video.
Thank you! Yes, anything that can go under f/1.8 performs quite well in low light. That Kamlan 50mm sounds pretty nice!
One of the most informative videos I've seen about these lenses. Great job.
Thank you very much!!
An excellent and informative video. Thank you.
You're welcome :) thanks for watching!
Only problem is filter thread is 39mm in 35mm 1.4. This size filter maximum time unavailable in the market
Indeed the 39mm thread is a bit of a draw back, BUT, you can easily compromise by getting step-up rings, like the Sensei 39-49mm and then you can use 49mm filters. You can even get lots of step-up rings and buy one large lens filter that will work for all your lenses. Worst case scenario, you can tape the lens filter with gaffer tape (wouldn't recommend it on a professional shoot, but I did it once for one of my videos and it worked! haha!)
I am very amazed at how this video is made, good job! Question: is there a tool/technique that u use/do to nail the focus every time? I have the 35mm f1.4 and there’s just always photos that I take that I thought would be focused when viewed on my camera screen but blurred when opened at a monitor
Thanks for enjoying the video!! So for focus, if it's a static shot, I use a reference item (like the "focus buddy") but for photography, what I do is either use "focus peaking" or I'd focus to what looks good, take the shot, pull the focus back a little bit, take another shot and push the focus too far a bit and take a shot. Out of the 3 shots, one is normally in good focus!
@@WhySteve that is definitely helpful, thank you for the tip!
Good luck and have fun shooting!
Hey, Sayan this side I have one question. Actually I am a student and just got one second hand fuji camera. Now I want a lens for night time videography. I am also an artist who posts various videos. I have a few lights and as I have my college during day time coming and drawing at night is kind of relaxing but can't record as my current lens has 2.8 f stop.
I am planning to buy one lens that will give me the libery of shooting some film footage for my job and also those of my artworks during night. so which f stop would be a better option for me a0.95 or a 1.2 or a 1.4.
I actually don't have a lot in my pocket and at Max can just buy one lens. So if you can help me a bit would be great. Lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hey!! Sure thing. Well, light works in stops. The more stops you let into your camera, the more light you let into your camera. So from f/2.8 down to f/2.0 is one stop of light. It's the same amount of light as DOUBLING your ISO. So you can test to see by doubling your current iso, and then doubling it again to give you a similar amount of light as f/1.4 would. But remember, lenses aren't always as sharp WIDE open. The rule of thumb is, a lens is at its sharpest, two f/stops in. so for example, f/1.4 is at its sharpest when it's on f/2.8.
Anyways, Setting I can recommend if you're starting out and want to film in low light, is shooting at f/2.8 Shutter at 1/40" and ISO between 2500-3200. If it's still too dark, you need need to use an external light source to brighten up the image!
zhiyun, amaran, nanlite and godox all have affordable options. I personally like the price and performance of the godox lights. So maybe start off with a Godox SL60W and use it to bring up the ambiance in the room. Because in the end, it's ALL about lighting. You can create beautiful images with cheap cameras, if you have GOOD lighting. So keep that in mind and I hope this helps!
(If you consider buying one of these lenses, I'd recommend the f/1.4 but keep in mind, they are ALL MANUAL FOCUS!!) GOOD LUCK! :)
@@WhySteve Thank you so much for the reply. It is really a great help. I now only tried with my lights and it gave me a satisfactory result with a bit of tweeking.
As I said I might use one lens for night time documentary shooting that's why I am looking to get one.
Thanks a lot for the guide I will remember it always and Hopefully it will help me to get my desired result❤️.
Love you a lot
I'm glad to help! Keep updated on the channel and comment on any of the videos if you have any questions 😀 keep on creating!!!
