Got a Alpha 5000 with the kit lens for 140€. Great little setup for the price. Or a cheap backup for your main Sony Alpha Camera.

Canon EOS-M + ML and you have it all, including good HD+ video.

39:16 - I both like Oreos and think this lens is cool. Just don’t have it around when eating real Oreo or you might have a bad time 😂

I’m trying to find lens #3 on Amazon for canon m50 mark ii but I can’t find it. Anybody have any tips?

Mate taking photos of the Melbourne library's dome interior with my phone in wide angle made me realise the value of wide angle for me. so i bought that 10mm for my next trip.

I bought my X-H1 2 months ago as a replacement for my Nikon gear. Took it on my vacation to the ocean and can't describe how happy I am with this camera! * No issues with AF (son rush on the ocean waves) * Great colors (no RAW correction required) * Weather sealing (several times waves cover me with the camera) * Bright screen and excellent EVF * Much lighter than my Nikon camera Battery live is the worst thing in this camera, yes. But it's only one cons for me.

Thank you for the great overview! I’ve already bought TTartisans 56 AF, and love it. I’m not exactly sure which lens will be next, but this video helps a lot.

My copy of the Brightin Star 35mm is sharp in the middle and has the added bonus of being usable in full frame. It's a lens for b&w photography

Spoilt for choice these days.

How do these mounts (carabiners) scratch the camera? After all, both in the bag, and at the moment when you take the camera out of the bag, and when you carry it on your shoulder, the carabiners have contact with electricity, they hit or rub against it.

Is this a joke? I feel like this is horrible advice making people into something that you can just grab and use for whatever purposes

Do you think its worth it to invest in more expensive lenses like the viltrox 13mm 1.4 or the 27mm f1.2? I dont want a big lens collection and I never tried manual focus lenses

Agree with everything- except autofocus. The AF sucks, sucks bad- I'm talking single point, direct sunlight, stationary subject, no excuse bad! That said, when it hits (or on MF), the IQ is... lovely! My 14mm Fuji lives on it- corner to corner absolute excellence; wish they'd update the 18mm f2 wanker. Yes, I know the 1.4 is optical excellence personified- but it's too big, too heavy, too pricey...

Which of the three 27mm you showed has less vignetting? Do you know how the TTArtisan 17mm compare to the Fuji 18mm F2?

Thank you Mark so much for making this video! I have watched so many of your videos to decide on what to get next and it’s just great that you put them all together in one I bought ttartisan 56mm 1.8 and i love using it, i think next one probably will be ttartisan35mm 1.8

With all the manual focus lenses you use, do you have any videos where you really go into detail about your techniques for getting sharp focus with a manual focus? I was fine with manual focus when I had old school SLR cameras with a prismatic focus reticle. But, I seem to have a hard time with just focus peaking.

Thanks for going over all these! I've bought several budget lenses at your suggestion and you've never steered me wrong. One lens I'd add to this lineup: the 7artisans 35mm f1.4 for APS-C, which might be my favorite budget lens. It's under $70, has great bokeh, and is pretty sharp wide open. I don't have the TTartisan 35mm f1.4, so I don't know how it compares, but the 7artisans 35mm is my go to lens for low-light as well as walkaround photography when I want to get a bit tighter than my TTartisan 25mm f2.

Fantastic video! Than you

I have several of these lenses, and my biggest regret is the Risespray CCTV lenses. You might get a good one, or you might get a piece of crap. Mine is in between. My cameras hate it, and I can’t focus it on anything at any distance. I have pulled it from my bag, and I am not sure where it’s at right now. That said, your camera might like it….

I also make it look like I'm fixing something

Interesting assortment of lenses BUT I really love the little dog! Tummy scratches from me, please.

Awesome video! I have Fuji AF lenses for work, but when I want to have fun, I always reach out for these small MF lenses. They always come out with memorable photos.

JUST YESTERDAY MY RISESPRAY 35MM F1.6 IS DELIVERED AND I LOVE IT. EIDT: I TYPED IT WHEN I WAS YAWNING AND MY CAPS IS ON.

Is it good for real estate compared to Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F2? I have sony ZVE10 APSC and have samyang lens but need a little wider view

so many options <3

Hi Mark, this was a nice overview of these lenses in context of whats available, with so many options things gets confusing fast! I have a couple of the lenses on the list and agree with your assessment!

Got the viltrox. Centre not sharp until f2.5 and outside can cast a nasty shadow in the images, even with sun behind me. Have to remind myself it’s cheap

TTArtisans 27mm 2.8 here. As long as you are OK with heavy vignetting in the widest two stops, this lens is amazing. On the ZVE-10 it is very small and light so I am more likely to carry this camera on a whim and take a lot more photos.

TV is my go to for sports hands down

I have both. Just got the speed booster yesterday. I tested last night the lower f stop, with interesting results. Canon 80 1.8 now a 1.2. 50 1.4, still a 1.4. 17-40 4.0l, now 2.8. Same for 24-105. I will update the firmware tonight and see if it changes.

I have the Pergear 35mm and I like it. Images are sharp and handling is enjoyable.

What a bout a decent budget zoom telephoto lens?

Really appreciate all the work you put in these videos. They're so entertaining, easy to watch, and honest. No dumb comments against one brand, no "just get more expensive lenses", only great advice and solid information. I'll definitely buy some of these lenses for my first camera, the Fujifilm XS-10. It's great to have channels like yours out there. Keep up the good work !

I bought the Brightin Star 35mm after watching this channel and I absolutely love it. It has also made me appreciate manual focus, real old school! Three months ago I would have scoffed at the idea of buying a budget lens, now I want to fill my camera bag with them!😂

Great Content, Thanks

theres a cheap tamron 35mm 2.8 with 1:2 makro or i bought also the tokina 56mm 1.4 for 160€ used

It's funny to me how pro photographers get obsessed with all the details. I've only been into photography for about 3 months though and I almost got into APSC cameras too but decided to go full frame for digital video instead and get an Epson V850 scanner for 35mm and up to potentially 8x10 analog photography So I'm getting an Olympus Pen FT (35mm half frame), Nikon F5 (35mm full frame) and a Nikon Z6 ii (4K digital video). With adapters I can use Nikon AF-S lenses with all of these cameras. I'm so exited about it!

Hi Mark, love your work. I have a Canon so I'm mostly out of luck. I'll check out your upcoming camera video to buy a Sony full frame (I guess) so I can take advantage of these fun lenses. Thanks

The best thing that holding MFT system as it is, is that there is no advancements or updations from Full Frame. Its common in every business. There is nothing wrong in MFT objectively. But manufacturers will favor the new trends. If another system comes ahead of FF, that will push the hierarchy to the Oblivion. Eg. The mobile technology CDMA<GSM<2G<3G<4G<5G<6G. As technology / system brings new meaningful upgrades, the older system and devices will be moved beyond the backdrop.

awesome video

I got the TTArtisan 50mm F/2 lens. It has quite the flaw and character, but I truly love it for being the smallest 50mm lens you could natively mount on mirrorless APS-C cameras; it's perfect for candid photos of people due to it's miniscule profile yet long enough focal length.

One day we all become older and the idea of owning a Swiss Army knife that is not 3kg stepping up the mountain will seem smart. M43 is going to continue to profitable for two or three companies In my estimation. Nice video!

I hate to admit it, but your channel has me spending way too much money!Just kidding! Thanks for all the great content.

i was confuse should pick 85mm 7artisans or 75mm tt artisans because sometimes i like shoot object quite far (i don't have telephoto lens also carrying telephoto / zoom lens are quite risk in here) i guess i found my answer now

Wow!! What a video

I'd love to see a video like this but for greater focal lengths. I know they tend to be more expensive but it would be great to know which ones are the cheapest and their quality

I really like kamlan lenses and i have never seen one of them in videos like this. Specially the kamlan 50mm F1.1 mk2 its a beast! Yeah its big and heavy, but its razor sharp and have a lot of character and a special flare resistance

Another great video, Mark....question for you please...Are there any good budget ASP-C lenses available with L mount? Would like some good, but small lenses for my Leica CL. And I know that one option is to use lens adapters.....but that makes lens longer.....UPDATE - Checked TTArtisans website & there are some L mount lenses, but several are sold out. Will look for other sources.

Thanks for another comprehensive video Mark! I was quite impressed with the TTArtisan 56mm f/1.8, not only has a much better build quality than it's sibling 27mm f/2.8, but the image quality is also better. And for the price the 27mm f/2.8 is quite good on a 24MP sensor! I wanted to get the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.8 but it's sold out except for Sony last time I checked. Might try the Viltrox one, but I am more interested in the Meike 33mm f/1.4 that is supposed to release on Fuji soon.

Dude how much is that thumbnail worth? 😳
