The final image is stunning my friend, just stunning. Funny thing i have been looking at budget Fisheye's for my Fuji, and could not decide which brand to go for, you may have made up my mind for me, thanks for sharing. Wait a minute is that sky real...lol. Only kidding I know it is.
New subscriber over from Gary Gough's channel after watching your "debate" on sky swapping (I'm definitely on your side of the argument). Great images here, looking forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers!
There just aren't enough lens reviews done by former psychedelic warlords. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write. Good work Mali. And great shots too. 👍
Absolutely beautiful images, this lens I can imaging you will have plenty of fun with. Look forward to future images with this lens. Well delivered Vlog :-)
I ordered this lens to use on the Lumix S5 (Leica L mount). Can't wait to try it out this week!! Amazing review, loved the chill demeanor, candid comments, and the field footage.
Love my vintage lenses. Takumars, Helios, Yashinon, Pentacon and a magical Mitsuki. 7Artisans prices are excellent for a dabble into something a little bit different.
A very cool effect with that lens,and you used it effectively,I am sure we will be seeing some very trippy images in the future...good to see a new video from you,it's been a while and your energy always gives me a kickstart to get out and shoot!
Mark!!! I found your muse tree 😮 I forgot to message you. Driving back from my family holiday in Eskdale, I took the 593 back and I’m sure I saw the one and only tree! Thanks so much for watching Mark 👍 haha QVC 🤣
@@MaliDaviesPhotography So the 593 would take you down to Broughton. THE Muse Tree (not that 593 imposter) is up a single track road just off the B5281 at Broughton Beck about 4 miles south of Broughton. You should have texted, y’all could have dropped round for a Vimto!
Would love a fisheye lens but as I e got a Crop Sensor I wouldn’t get the full benefit of it or the real reason I want one. Will wait until I FF. Great video and really looking forward to the next one, sounds like fun
Excellent review.... And awesome images ❤️.... Saving to upgrade to Z and maybe this or similar would be a great astro lens 👍 feel you have sold it and and brand to me with your passion and honesty 💗✌️
Great review Mali. I recently reviewed the 7.5mm (f/2.8) crop sensor version of the 7Artisans fisheye and, like you, I was really impressed. I've used it quite a bit as a super wide and I'm looking forward to doing some more creative stuff with it (when it cools down a bit here and I can get to some different locations). You got some really nice images with it, that last one with the tree is a stunner and I also like that one with the fence, I think it works really well
Colour fringing, vignetting, soft on the edges etc, etc. But who cares "Lets Create". I use a Lensbaby velvet and I get a feeling from reviews of 7Artisans that they too are the enemy of perfection. It could send you mad or you could embrace it, I get a feeling it will be the latter for you Mali. Have fun with it.
Unfortunately not available for my Nikon D700 F mount. I’ve looked at the smaller mirrorless cameras, including the Z series, the bodies are a bit small for my hands. Plus I don’t relish the thought of completely rebuilding my camera kit for a camera body that doesn’t feel right to me… On another note Mali I did watch your recent “debate” on sky replacement. Your argument for traditional photography is the winner in my mind. AI scares me, what’s next just sitting around the house “creating” images that never existed. At any rate that debate got you another subscriber.
You done a good revue Mali with pictures to back it up! that's what they wanted and you delivered!...I dont like super wide angles because of the distortion in the images, so I have never bought one! and I dont suppose I ever will, but people cant complain about the price of this one!
I have the 7Artisans 7.5mm fisheye for APS-C and enjoy it as much as you do! I love experimenting with this lens, and when you keep the horizon in the centre you have a really wide field of view. However the APS-C version does have a bit of flare when shooting into the sun.
Excellent Mali, enjoyed the shots, looks like a great lens - I had a Samyang 12mm Fisheye, loved using it & you can also use it like a standard lens if careful 👍👍👍
I've been wanting a fisheye for a couple of years but other gear has always come first. At this price and looking at the images you've taken so far then I'm sold. Can't find a link on your Amazon page, is there a link to support the channel or do I go through the 7artisans website. It's in stock on their website. Great review.
Nice one mate. I've been wanting a fisheye lens for quite a while, but could never prioritize it over other gear I've needed. I had a go of my mate's 8mm Samyang fisheye on my old D3200 and it was so much fun, an absolute belter of a lens. I'd always thought for my Z6 I'd get the Samyang 12mm f/2.8 full frame F mount lens but you've convinced me (and I trust your judgement) that this 7 Artisans lens could be a contender. If you want to have a lot of fun with this lens take it to the seaside and get it down low and get it as close to the advancing surfline as you dare and fire off a burst. f/16 and whack the ISO up of necessary.... my mate used to do that with his Samyang and it makes fascinating images. Love the images you showed at the end. Cheers
Vimto fan right here... not so much fisheye flavour though. All my gear gone apart from one camera one lens...but I will keep watching to see if there is a way back. You should be nearing 5k by the looks, let me be THE 1ST (as they say) - congrats when it comes. \atb Al
Hehe Vimto is the best, 😁 thanks very much Alan, 5k mind blown! All the gear going is no bad thing. My main kit has grown but I still only take out one camera and two lenses tailored to the day. 😍👍
I can confirm the build quality of those lenses. I have the Canon M mount 2.8 25mm version but not had the chance to play with it much but what I have taken, I have no complaints. I was looking at the Canon R or EOS mount versions too but as you point out, they are heavy, but well built bits of kit :-) Nice review Mali :-)
I’d love to have a go at that . It’s good to try something new, not a wide angle fan because of distortion but the older I’m getting I’m throwing caution to the wind
Thanks David, this lens is pure experimental photography but it really has made me think more about Framing. I do with I hadn’t got rid of my 16-35. But now I want a wide angle prime. Not fish eye but around 14 to 16mm.
Now trying to imagine what a psychedelic warlord would look like. Got visions of you in rainbow flares and long hair lol. First impressions looked Mali and you put up some cracking images and hopefully will get to see what you come back with on an astro outing too.
How dare you sell out for a brand 😂 nah good on ya mate, especially if it's a brand you respect. I love fisheye stuff, especially when you make full use of that distortion. Now get out and do some street photography with it!!
Psychadelic warlord!!! Hahahaha brilliant! 😂👍
Hehe thought you might like that bit. 👍
A very good review Mali and very well delivered and filmed… great work
Happy to see your review and share it :)
really nice video mate looks good for video nice and wide keep up the good work
Excellent images Mali. I like the distortion in the fence, it seems to draw you into the heart of the image more.
I couldn't click quick enough when this vlog popped up, vimto 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Thanks Brian 👍
Awesome video. Will definitely be purchasing a lens from them because of your review! Thank u
That is one impressive lens Mali
Looks a great lens Mali might invest in my own cheers 😊👍🏻

Very nice images Mali
Thank you so much Ann
Always lovely when you find a brand you connect with and love. Never tried a fisheye myself, but you've provided food for thought!
Indeed, I was thinking my roughly the same thing but mine was "my wife is going to kill me". 🤣
Great reiview, looks good for this kind of lens on video. The TTArtisan11mm 2.8 and this 7artisan appear to be the most usable.
looks like a belting piece of kit, well explained and delivered Mr D .. Great shots to boot !! Bravo !!
"Psychedelic Warlord", I love it! Always wanted to have a go with a fisheye.
Your infectious passion for the art just oozes with happy vibes. Quite a natural at lens reviews as well. I want one!
So very kind and means a lot good pal! Tough video to make but I guess practise makes perfect, next week I’m reviewing Tea bags 🤣👍
Absolutely beautiful images, this lens I can imaging you will have plenty of fun with. Look forward to future images with this lens.

Never considered a fisheye for landscapes so going to watch with interest 👍

From a long-standing Vimto fan,, belter Mali :-) The images at the end.. wonderful. Nice to see you back here again. £250 that's a bargain !!!

Color fringing is almost non-existent on their wide angle lenses
@@arpitkumargahlot then the reviews must be wrong and you are right!

I haven’t been able to afford to upgrade to mirrorless format so I’m out of luck with my Nikon F mount system! Looks like fun!
That's great Mali, bet you would get some nice panoramas with that lens or even create some 360's :)

Nice one Mali. I like my vintage lenses. You'd like the 17mm by TT Artisans, I think.
I’d love to have a go at that . It’s good to try something new, not a wide angle fan because of distortion but the older I’m getting I’m throwing caution to the wind

thank you for sharing this as it was perfect timing I was looking for some glass like this
Big thanks for watching 😍👍
