[@ironwoodbranch6720]

holy!! why tf there aren't any comments in this video? u deserve more viewers bro, high quality content. I've found your vid cause im planning to buy this lens but for my sony apsc a6000 as an "upgrade" for my kitlens since I'm new to photography :D and you just showed me the potential of this lens!! thanks

[@AlexanderPanetta]

wow this video quality and effort is insane man, this needs to blow up

[@BigJonkulous]

Nice documentary! It was enjoyable and had lots of cool images.

[@Liam-c9u3r]

I've been using this lens for a while. It is very delicate. The metallic body feels very solid. Shooting night scenes with a large aperture is really useful. My old kit lens has a very small aperture and it is very difficult to shoot at night. This lens is absolutely amazing for the price and quality.

Bought the new Fujifilm H2 recently and was looking for lenses to use on it and came across this video. It is an absolute crime you don't have more views but keep it up! This is some high quality work!

[@BrianCho]

Thank you!!!

[@MrPabgon]

Very well produced video! I'm doubting on wether to buy this lens, because I already have sony 16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6. I know the f/1.4 (or even 2.8, being sharper) is benefitial, but I don't know if I should spend almos $100 when I can already explore 35mm (which, between 16 and 55m, I think is now my favorite focal distance). Also keeping in mind that my lens has AF and OSS.

[@gxldzn]

Hi! I'm not sure if you've already bought yourself a faster lens but don't overthink the autofocus and OSS! At 35mm, handheld can be reasonably smear-free still at the right shutter speeds and manual focus can be rewarding. A faster lens (wider aperture) gives you so much creative control that it's worth it in my opinion. I was in your shoes but ended up getting a manual 50mm f1.1 lens and I have not switched back since.

bokeh is better, better in lowlight, and has a different character

[@francisenaje]

I have a kitlens but I use this more than my kitlens on my eos M6 II.. I also use the Meike 25mm

Es gibt soviel gut, auch alte linsen da draußen. Und das zeigt, es zählt das Bild und nicht die Ausrüstung

[@jaysonlee5231]

Awesome vid, I just ordered one and am excited to try it.

[@GinoDeBlasio]

Bro... this is incredible.

[@laika25]

I keep involuntarily moving the aperture ring along with the focus ring

[@DanielFortiz]

This video is amazing, thank you for sharing! I really love the shots!

[@wildgeesemediaagency]

I like the softer look in video

[@ChouaibBenmiassa]

Well explained 👏✅ , thank you ☺️

[@theoinstitute3036]

Thanks for making this Brian. Have been contemplating using this and getting a used Fuji xe1 to try and simulate old film pix on street. What you think?

[@BrianCho]

Sounds like a sweet street photo setup! I've been thinking about a combo like this too. The TTArtisan 35 is such a compact lens, carrying it around wouldn't be a problem at all.

[@theoinstitute3036]

@@BrianCho thanks a bunch for your advice! Best of luck with your work in NY! I have been watching a bunch of stuff from Paulie B. And the NY street photo scene trying to learn. Maybe you can connect with follow Korean John Wha. 😊 -Thomas

[@ContentCursor]

is this a wide angle lens?

[@erriprakashreddy]

Hi Brian, Just wondering to see if this is compatible with Sony A7iii ?

[@BrianCho]

It is compatible! It will be slightly cropped since this lens is intended for APS-C sensors.

[@ginnethondayot7646]

hello, great vid by the way. What camera did you use?

[@BrianCho]

Sony a7IV

[@israelforson1887]

Can this lens fit on a blackmagic 6k pro

[@sayankarmakar9227]

Hey, Sayan this side I have one question. Actually I am a student and just got one second hand fuji camera. Now I want a lens for night time videography. I am also an artist who posts various videos. I have a few lights and as I have my college during day time coming and drawing at night is kind of relaxing but can't record as my current lens has 2.8 f stop. I am planning to buy one lens that will give me the liberyof shooting some film footage for my job and also those of my artworks during night. so which f stop would be a better option for me a0.95 or a 1.2 or a 1.4. I actually don't have a lot in my pocket and at Max can just buy one lens. So if you can help me a bit would be great. Lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@BrianCho]

Hi Sayan. 0.95 and 1.2 lenses are notoriously hard to focus and typically produce soft images. Unless if your 1.2 lens has autofocus I'd stick with a 1.4 lens.

[@ftk-alt]

i have this lens. no complains. image quality is good and sharp. everything is good. but the focal length is not for me. too tight, and not enough depth that i need. But i would recommend anyone else if they want to have a 50mm equivalent as their starter.

[@harrysharma1]

Is this lens a prime lense ?

[@stantheman1976]

Prime just means the lens does not have zoom. It's a single, fixed focal length, which this lens is.

[@harrysharma1]

@@stantheman1976 okok, so prime is better?

[@stantheman1976]

@@harrysharma1 prime is not better or worse. It depends on what you are shooting. If you're doing anything where you'll need to get closer to your subject and can't physically move closer you'd need a zoom of some type. It's one of those situations where there is no right or wrong answer. Prime and zoom are just lens types. There are literally thousands of each.

I like your effort!
