7artisans 35mm f/1.2 II Lens Review | Bokeh on a Budget!

[@d30gaijin]

Outstanding review of the 7 Artisans 35mm f/1.2. Very nice comparisons with your Nikon lenses, very helpful. I look forward to more of your reviews.

[@homecareful]

Great job. I watch a lot of KZbin lens reviews. But, yours got to the point and gave me a solid impression of this lens. I subscribed.

[@boxoweasels]

I think that purple flare above the window is reflection between the sensor and rear element. If you rotate it 180 it pretty much exactly matches the bright part of the window around the lampshade. I've got a couple lenses that do similar things in some circumstances. Sometimes I think it's due to a flat rear element or quality of coatings or lack of coatings on the rear element. With some lenses it just shows as a purple spot in the center.

[@homecareful]

You tell it like it is, I subscribed. Good review.

[@mastan7207]

it is a nice budget lens. stop down to f8 you will get sharp image from corner to corner, f1.2 is good for portrait

[@tamirlangabaraev7130]

good video, thx for the content!

[@ramongutierrez8249]

I'd like to see more reviews like this :) There must be some pretty hidden gems from these chinese lenses manufacturers! :D

Is this good for taking photos of Milky way? (Using canon 90d)

[@josemanuel2244]

Can it be compared with the TT Artisan brand?

[@Zantandar]

Nice review

[@PilipiHoops]

UNDERRATED!!

[@mydearriley]

Question about the x100v b-roll. Why not use the lens for the b-roll?

[@feedthesensor]

Fair point. I'm not the biggest fan of Nikon's in-camera video recording on the Z6. It's a baked-in color profile. Were I to use it, I'd need an Atomos to get the full uncompressed quality (which is great!).

[@smartwave9]

why the call it photoelectric, any exif data lined to camera, f stop light meter, .... etc ?

[@MattZildjian]

great review, would love to see a comparison to the TTArtisans 35mm 1.4

[@awake780]

You wouldn’t need to see the comparison. The TTartisan blows this 7artisans out of the water in terms of image quality (sharpness, bokeh)

[@MattZildjian]

@@awake780 interesting, thanks!

[@batyasanter]

Сравнение в студию!

[@goodmythicalmukbang3757]

I miss this channel

[@Swingkid14]

I actually think the look of this lens photos is better than the Voigtländer 35mm1.2 which cost 5 times more

[@kenjikingofficial]

Will it fit the XPro1 of Fuji?

[@mydearriley]

Yes.

[@jokoplak]

For good result , use better CPL

[@Swingkid14]

I see it as a storytelling lens. Great for black and white

[@itacatv2146]

A “storytelling” lens? Could you elaborate?

[@Swingkid14]

@@itacatv2146 a lens where sharpness across the frame is not the most important. The bokeh has a nice blur and the focus on the subjects are great. It's tiny which make it more stealthy in situatiosn where you want to tell a story without wanting people to see you, compared to a huge 50mm1.2 FF lens. The rendering of the lens feel vintage which make photographs look more analogue than digital. So the story you want to tell will not look like everyone elses story if you shot the same thing.

[@itacatv2146]

@@Swingkid14 thanks for that!

[@whitelotustarot7774]

Any difference betweeeen 7 artisan 35 mm manual and this photoelectric ?why is it called photoelectric?

[@feedthesensor]

I was initially thinking it had to do with coatings on the lenses, such as uncoated versus coated, but I couldn’t find any info confirming that. What the naming might refer to is that these lenses are only for mirrorless cameras, not SLR cameras. On product pages for photoelectric, they write, “Our lens is only suitable for mirrorless cameras, Not for SLR cameras.” I don’t know if they include this on other pages. Just what I saw.

[@michellearrington4846]

Put a tiny bit of tape in the inside rim of the lens cap and then it won't fall off. No duh!

[@beadierps14]

Version 2 is clicked

[@feedthesensor]

Indeed, despite marketing lingo for de-clicking in the product descriptions of the mark II version.

[@valdiskrebs566]

🙂

[@Doc2705]

I think this lens is better for videos than photography. The not super sharp will work in video. At least I think so🤣being the enthusiastic amateur that I am.

[@CableWrestler]

7 artisans oversell their aperture ratings. This thing is more likely an f2.

[@stayuntilforever]

No it's a 1.2. I own it. Owned many 35/50mm lenses the past 25 years I've been doing photography. My copy is not as hazy and centre sharp at 1.4 . Great bokeh and fun lens

[@erikfarkas7868]

The old one was declicked.
