[@mahaminthadapengmee1140]

ขอบคุณสำหรับรีวิวของคุณนะครับ เป็นรีวิวที่ดีมาก ที่ประเทศผมหาคนรีวิวเลนส์ตัวนี้ไม่มีเลยครับ ได้ดูคุณถึงได้รุ้ว่าเลนส์มันดีขนาดนี้เลย Yhank you❤

[@DamianBrown]

Thank you!!!!

[@demonsaint1296]

Lens cloths aside… if you are using the RAF files for editing you could switch to a black and white mode with focus peaking on and the only color you see is the color you have chosen when something is in focus.

[@DamianBrown]

Nice tip!!

[@paulthomas8986]

Very nice review. I do like the more dreamy look this lens gives, especially at the price. The portrait at 5:19 was fantastic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@DamianBrown]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate the feedback!

[@alanplatt888]

Magic ! Great video...............I just picked one up on Amazon New £180. I'm looking forward to using it. Thanks for the review.

[@DamianBrown]

Bargain

[@Cagey7531]

Some day some manufacturer will create a lens like this with a decent CFD, -20cm would be nice. For now I have a 35mm and a 65mm so no need for this but looks a nice alt option

[@DamianBrown]

Good to see the line up filling up slowly but surely. I believe they'll be putting out a 25mm version next.

[@Cagey7531]

@@DamianBrown a 25mm f/0.95 would definitely interest me! 35 is the widest I have atm, I don't tend to shoot wider very often but it'd be nice to have the option

[@irfanchooify]

Very nice results.

[@DamianBrown]

It's a fun lens!

[@sander9t]

Very nice review. I got this lens a few weeks ago and agree that this could be a two-lenses-in-one type as its character changes quite a lot from wideopen to f1.4+. I do enjoy the glowy, hazy, sort of low contrast dreamy look at wideopen and the focus falloff is among the fastest I have seen. Not for everybody for sure, but a very nice option for APSC shooters!

[@DamianBrown]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@bardofhighrenown]

I'm really interested in that dreamy look I'm trying to decide between this lens and the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95. They both seem to have that hazy quality, do you happen to remember which lens had it more pronounced? I just finished watching your review of that lens and I'm leaning towards the 7Artisans over the TTArtisan.

[@DamianBrown]

This one is definitely the "haziest" of the two in my opinion!

[@bardofhighrenown]

@@DamianBrown Perfect, thanks very much!

[@robertbirnbach2312]

Did you find it equal to the 35mm in sharpness?I already own the 56mm fuji 1.2 and a bunch of vintage 50's but I love a dreamy lens with character too so I have been thinking this is a inexpensive tool in the box?

[@DamianBrown]

Hmm it's fairly close. I'd say based on what you have, maybe as a character lens it could be fun!

[@PhiggysDOTcom]

I’m getting fair old collection of these Artisan and 7artisan lenses thanks to your reviews ! I purchased lenses for my Fuji X even though I had a Nikon Z Mount one ? (50mm 0.95 7 Artisan version) I already owned SLR 50mm 0.95mm in X Mount along with 50mm f1:1.2 & the 55mm f1:1.4 plus the 35mm f1:1.2 and I added the 11mm f1:2.8 fisheye to Z Mount can you please stop reviewing these fantastic value lenses please 😊😂Easter 2022 would be nice for the next Artisan review ok 👍🏼😂 oh and not gonna purchase this 35mm F0.95 BTW 😂😂😂 all the best for 2022 👍🏼 And please keep these reviews coming !

[@DamianBrown]

Yes mate! Good to hear from you. Don't blame me for your spending habits :) You've got me jealous about the Z mount gear now... You'll be pleased to know that at the time of writing I have no more TTArtisan lenses in progress, though I expect one is en route as we speak!

[@andrewchisholm3665]

I have the 21 and 35mm lenses for the Nikon Z mount and they are great lenses and well built. I used the 21mm on a shoot last week and it was great even though I was using it for wider angle portraits etc

[@DamianBrown]

I need to get into the Z mount... looks quality!

[@mahidoes]

Thank you. how it compares to XF 56 f/1.2 R (I have this) in size and other aspects other than AF

[@DamianBrown]

Haven't compared it as they're different for me. Prefer the 56 for stills though.

[@gaarakabuto1]

How does it compare to the fujinon 50mm f1?

[@DamianBrown]

I haven't put them side by side. I think they're ultimately for different people albeit same focal length and very similar aperture. I prefer the f1 as it fits my shooting more but this is very interesting too.

[@JemmiWijaya]

Hi I just accidentally dropped my 7artisans 50mm f0.95 lens (dropped the lens to the shopping mall ground/floor) and leaving one scratch mark & faded coating. And the lens glass still normal (didn't break) and the video & photo results also seems normal. But when I shook the lens body, I heard some shaking sound/noise, is it ok?

[@DamianBrown]

I guess something is loose, but if it works then that's a relief. I don't think anything would normally be loose

[@martinohesse]

What cheap manual lenses exists wider than 24 mm? I've just ordered a pergear 35 mm and have takumar 50 mm F1.4. I'm looking for something close to 18 mm...

[@DamianBrown]

TTArtisan 17mm is worth a look for example

[@reynaldipraditha5354]

Hi sir, what do you think about this lens compared TT artisan 50mm f1.2 ? Im thinking about choosing one of these lens. Great review btw, keep up the good work!

[@DamianBrown]

Thanks Reynaldi. It's an interesting choice. This is extra fun, the 1.2 is extra sharp.

[@danieleiorio6617]

Hi Damian, thanks for your review! One simple question: is it normal that my Fujifilm X-S10 doesn't allow me to see on the LCD the aperture set on the aperture ring?

[@DamianBrown]

It's a good question. A lot of manual third party lenses do not have electronic contacts that pass the aperture information across to the camera so it won't show on the LCD. That's the most likely reason :) But it's pretty normal.

[@danieleiorio6617]

@@DamianBrown So that's also the case for this 50/0.95. What a pity, also because I cannot be sure of what intermediate aperture I set if not pointed on the ring. Thanks for your reply!

[@RodLittle]

Great review, and thanks for all the samples. This one is a miss for me, didn't like the look of if it at 0.95. The 35mm looked better - its all personal preference and subjective.

[@DamianBrown]

You hit the nail on the head!

[@quickben625]

I'm stuck in between choosing the 7artisans 55mm mii and the TTartisan 50mm 1.2 and I mostly do videography. The reason I'm going with these is because I'm on a tight budget. Which one would you recommend ?

[@DamianBrown]

It's a tricky one to answer, out of those two... I'm leaning towards the ttartisan purely for the extra character in video shooting.

[@rccasgar]

@@DamianBrown And for photography? I am also doubting between those two... I think sharpness when wide open (till f4-f5.6) was much better on the TTartisans 50mm f1.2. Based on other videos I've seen, I think the only real advantage of the 7artisans is the more rounded bokeh balls... I found this video quite useful, but I have not yet decided: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIqQZaJ_btqBZ5Y

[@sclogse1]

Didn't I see you in The Long Good Friday?

[@DamianBrown]

😅😅😅

[@OneCameraOneLens]

Just imagine if they released auto focus versions of these lenses 😳 wish they would stop this de-clicked aperture though.

[@DamianBrown]

Can't argue with you there!

[@yongkysiaw6597]

Yeah and the price would be in the near 1k.

[@niftyfifty8431]

Dreamy, moody, atmospheric = far from having any acceptable sharpness. The focus fall off looks so unnatural to me that it seems they are (badly) edited in Luminar or any Android portrait mode, dont you think so?

[@DamianBrown]

Some work for me, some not so much

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

5:02 boy so cute he looks like a mannequin. I prefer my lenses not clicked.

[@DamianBrown]

He's a good guy :)

[@mikewhiles4635]

Very tasty ! 😎

[@DamianBrown]

Yes!!

[@GillesQuennevilleGQ]

No click on this model because this is made for video production. Not a shame.
