These lenses are f/0.95 but was the Takumar f/1.8? And if you add a converter, don you lose a stop? So it becomes a f/2.5 or f/2.8? If true, that's not good.
Nice video and comparison! I’ve had both of these but only the 7Artisans right now. Gave the Meike away. I really like them, even though they’re soft at 0.95. And they’re pretty! Right? The Meike especially. It’s the nicest looking lens I’ve ever had. Anyway, about focusing, can I suggest trying to zoom in and focus that way instead of using focus peaking? Personally I feel like the focus peaking gets in the way. Every time I rely on it, I never get focus exactly where I want. But which zooming in, I get focus precisely where I want.
Thank you. Agree the Meike is a really nice looking lens! very elegant. About focusing, I agree, the focus peaking gets in the way, I find it annoying, but my eyesight is not that good, even with the diopter adjustment control, it helps but it's not perfect, so I have trouble to see 100% sharp through the viewfinder and if I use the screen I need to switch to my reading glasses. Old people's life hahaha. The focus peaking helps in that regard. After using it for a while, I got used to where it's actually focusing, I'm just afraid it might easily change on firmware updates or using other cameras
No worries, thanks. I wish camera makers took diopter adjustment control a bit more seriously. It only adjusts myopia but it doesn't take into account astigmatism for example. Anyway I can't complain, my case is not that bad. The positive side is that with those lenses, learning zone focusing can help a lot, specially in street photography

@@pietrozuco Ah I see! My apologies, I didn’t take bad eyesight into account.
