Recently I bought a pancolar 50mm F1.8 because of the good reviews here. I was happy with the images after I cleaned the lens. I noticed the color rendering too as you mention. But then even more recently I replaced my Yongnuo flash with a speedlight 580EXII with the idea of getting more light. I usually shoot manual in natural light, and boy! I was taken back by the combination. Somehow, the flash makes all my vintage lenses come up with really saturated colors that I really love. On top of that, the sharpness you mention is great. I'm also using higher aperture numbers to make focusing easier, but I'm really noticing all the sharpness I've been missing. I'm working on what my next lens should be. I'm loving 50mm, but also trying out 24, 28 and 35 all vintage.
M42 or K Mount - there are hundreds, possibly thousands to choose from in both mounts, from budget friendly to wallet busting prices! Either will spoil you for choice.

@@zenography7923 The TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 although has more blur compared to the F1.2 50mm, the images aren't that sharp. Is it the same with 35mm 0.95? Could you please let us know if that is the case? Also curious to know about the sharpness difference for an image taken with the 35mm 0.95 at F1.4 vs the same image taken with 35mm 1.4 at 1.4.
@@shashankagrawal698 im also curious about this as I have the TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 and just won a giveaway of their 35mm f0.95. Trying to decide if I should dispose of the f1.4 to have only one 35mm lens
@@lance_medul Congrats - but before you dispose one of those, please do let us know whether an image taken with the 35mm 0.95 at F1.4 has the same sharpness levels as the image taken with 35mm 1.4 at 1.4. That would help me in deciding if I can go for the 0.95 lens instead of the 1.4 one.
Mine arrived today. I'll be trying it for street photography in York tomorrow.
Lovely content as always Nigel!
Many thanks!

Two really nice 35s spring to mind - the CZJ Flektogon 35 2.4 and the Olympus 35 3.5 - both well worth considering.
Nice location, nice lens nice pictures!
Thanks!
Nice video I would love to try this lens out on my A6400.......
Great video as always! You say that this is a APSC lens, but you seem to be using it on a full frame camera! How does this work? Thanks.
Probably he used the apsc mode. It automatically cropped the image
I'm using the aps-c mode of the a7 - it reads info from the central part of the sensor, giving an aps-c image.
Very noce vide and great lens
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Good job you didn't drop your flat cap amidst the evidence of cows, the, last time I did that I ended up trying 6 before I found my cap!
Ah, now that sounds like an unfortunate day!
Great vid, many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This lens seems to not exist for M4/3 cameras. Do you know the reason for this, please?
I'd like to see TT compared to Mitakon in a video
mitakon sucks
Which is the best vintage mount to collect and use for photography?

Unless I’m very much mistaken, have we not seen this episode a few weeks back? 😊
There have been a number of videos on TT Artisan lenses of recent but I don't believe this one in particular.
Yes - in a moment of supreme silliness I uploaded it by mistake, before it should have gone out. You are correct sir!
Is the 0.95 a lot better than the 1.4 version ?
It certainly makes a lot more blur!

@@shashankagrawal698 will do!
I am always curious as to why hard stops at F8 and F16 and nothing in between ?? I generally use F11 for a landscape shot.
Most likely a mechanical limitation - perhaps it's difficult to squeeze a half stop between the two at this point?
This doesn't seem to be available. Maybe sold out? I do see one made by 7artisans.
Links added!
ah shit i just got the 7artisan
I think both are made in the same factory
@@israyosoy maybe but this has a clicked aperture ring and the 7art doesnt. but the 7art looks better (looks like a leica lens ngl)
