7artisans 25mm f1.8 vs. PERGEAR 25mm f1.8 // Which is the BEST cheap lens for BMPCC 4K?

[@Ansonandco]

Which lens do you think is the winner?

[@PavSZ]

7Artisans!

[@mohakhu]

PERGEAR looks so cool, and the image looks so vintage and old, and I like this. Thanks for your great review.

[@GamersGuard]

Speaking of 7artisans 25mm f1.8 -- seems as more recent review claims it it sharp and doesnt have blur issues, could be more recent builds got blur edges fixed?

[@Paul-gb3df]

Had both, and the Pergear won it for me. Both are very sharp, but the Pergear has much better build quality, bokeh, and distortion. Could not get used to the short focus throw on the 7artisans.

[@mjgfromDDD]

Not sure how new Pergear is to the scene but they seem to be creating gear that can compete with what's been out for a while. Definitely keeping my eye on them. Thank you for putting us on!

[@AlexMinor]

Great video. The differences in some categories were striking. Especially the minimum focus distance.

[@savannahbeckler-jones5359]

What a great video! You’re so lucky to have a great model ❤️😘

[@Ansonandco]

❤️ best model ever!

[@mrenovatio3739]

Probably makes sense to add a test 1-2 stops closed down just to see what the rendering is like... Many lenses have a different look

[@FilmSpook]

A couple hours ago, I just ordered another 7art 25mm, this one for my MFT cameras, hehe. (I found a new, open box one on Ebay for just 50 bucks, free shipping.) I LOVE your great, simple, powerful inspirational message at the end! You're a Great Dude. _Now let me go wash my hands, hehe!_ Much Luv to you and your awesome family, Brother Anson! Peace

[@FilmSpook]

Ah, the seller refunded my order. His listing was incorrect, I believe. Heh.

[@Ansonandco]

Dude I missed this completely! Thanks man! Also super weird that he refunded it. Isn’t it only like 20 bucks difference from the original price? Odd

[@Ansonandco]

@@FilmSpook lol did someone try to bootleg a 7artisans lens?!?!

[@PavSZ]

Great and detailed comparison ... it's amazing how good these lenses are. If you filmed a documentary film with any of them, nobody would guess that you've used a cheap lens. SLR magic lenses deliver this look and they cost 5x more. Oh, 7Artisans wins for me here too ;)

[@wiggyjones]

Just subscribed. Love your message. Rock on.

[@Ansonandco]

thanks and welcome!

[@GabrielRohail]

Bro Congratulations! You are doing an amazing job!

[@LeoSypniewski]

Nice review, especially love that you don't yell at me the whole time. I think i'm gonna grab one of these now that i've seen them both

[@johnrobison1413]

What I don’t understand is why the 7Artisans focusing scale printed on the lens is pure fiction, not even close to actual distance focused at. I just cannot understand how they could get it so wrong. This makes “pre-focusing” by scale impossible with this lens. For fast shooting in street photography being able to trust the accuracy of a focusing scale is essential, not just something that would be nice to have. The DoF scale is way off also. These are not minor problems and something that should be checked in every lens review

[@Ansonandco]

Yeah I don’t know if I had given it any thought before, I guess I just assumed it would be way off based on price lol

[@daryljohnson9010]

And when focused at infinity, nothing is in focus. Infinity focus seems to be at the 15’ mark....which is a very short throw from focus at 2’....which is marked 4’. Smh.

[@ByAdrielSniper]

@@Ansonandco does the pergear has the same issue with the distance scale?

[@hoozentroger]

Daamn I wish these were full frame lenses. Its not that I like one over the other but I'd go for the pergear's look!

[@Ansonandco]

I love it! It reminds me of my vintage FD lenses. Why are you shooting on?

[@hoozentroger]

@@Ansonandco 5D M2 with magic lantern! Speaking of FD lenses, Ive got a 135mm F3.5 s.c for 8$ from a second hand shop in Japan a week ago! haha Allright, I'll consider grabbing an eos M just so I can use these cheap but great lenses..

[@nimkal]

Thanks, great categorical review and right at the sharpness section I knew which one I wanted. Subscribed

[@juanmonge2458]

Loved the review! Which one do you think is more suitable for shooting the milky way?

[@JacoboCastroCristo]

Do you think it would be easy to use focus gears on the pergear?

[@davincicreator7333]

which nd filter we can attach in 7artisans 25mm f1.8 bro 🧐🧐

[@francissosingindyrcworldga8936]

Great review and message!!! 🙏

[@Ansonandco]

Thanks!

[@BamangSimonFilmProduction]

Thank you...for great review...

[@suheyla3801]

Great review! I liked Pergear more. How is Pergear's sharpness compared to Panasonic 20mm 1.7?

[@cemccrea]

Is the Pergear available for the Canon M50/EF-M?

[@ngobrolajaa8710]

Consider the distortion include in the chapter dude. With what I see there is little bit difference. Your style is awesome!

[@clintonjohnson2777]

At 7:17 did you notice the noise on the sewing machine with the 7artisan? I was curious if you noticed that in any other shots. Was this noise only visible with video? Is there any noise with still images? Or maybe the noise from that clip was just an anomaly/inconsistency?

[@Ansonandco]

It was probably in other images, it was a pretty low lit scene

[@itacatv2146]

What kind of music are you using here? Is it royalty free?

[@CanyouNOTT]

your channel is so underrated!! love how much work you've been putting in and I'm so glad you're talking about mft gear and not the full frame hype that's everywhere else

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Great review, footage and comparison! Your wife is a trooper! The mosquitoes are definitely out here including themselves in shoots lol! I grabbed the meike awhile ago and need to use it more!

[@Ansonandco]

Thanks Dionne! I have to say our house is a haven for them and so if we do anything outside it’s usually for no more than like 10 minutes hahaha If you’re not using the meike as much, what are primarily using right now?

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Anson & Co. lol yeah my Sister got bit up badly and so did I during a recent shoot we did. I used the 42.5 f1.7 I just got a few weeks ago. I think I’m currently obsessed with that for portrait photography and still trying to figure out which lens I’ll love for video!

[@androstern]

I'd have liked to see a side by side comparison as well. Thanks for the video.

[@QippysChannel]

Nice one bro! Makes me wanna play around with my 25 1.8 again, haven’t been messing around with the fuji xt3 too much since I left it as my overhead cam for the channel 👍😊

[@Ansonandco]

It was crazy to use these lenses after a while for sure. I don’t think I had used the 7artisans since last year. How is the R5 BTW?

[@QippysChannel]

Anson & Co. haha the R5 is good I guess except that it hasn’t arrived yet but apparently will be scheduled within this week God Willing if all goes well, anyway fortunately i did managed to play around with a sample unit 2 weeks ago and to be really honest i was smitten, the 4k 120 fps was real nice and generally with the short burst style of my shoots I honestly did not face any overheating at all, but then again it may be because I am not doin super demanding kinda video style of shoots, but i really loved it , especially with IBIS combined with my vintage lens it was insane tht this was a Canon! Haha

[@Ansonandco]

Nice! I forgot it hasn’t really shipped yet. A friend of mine got his r6 over the weekend so I thought they had gone out. Ready to see those videos on it!

[@NeroMC]

hey Anson...when are you going to review the kamlan 50mm 1.1 mk2?

[@Ansonandco]

Fernando Taborda lemme contact them and see what I can do. Fingers crossed!

[@NeroMC]

@@Ansonandco i ordered mine...im having it in a few days

[@edwinreyes853]

hello and thanks for this great video, have you tried the 23mm 1.4 ttartisans? I really like the style of the peargear but the 23mm has less crop and more light entry, it is twice the price, regards. I'm thinking between these two

[@austinprice770]

You say the 7artisans is more low-profile than the Pergear, but it looks like the Pergear is smaller? Or are you just talking about the weight?

[@zenarc2588]

Sick shots man 🔥 alright now no excuses for me! 😃 even cheap lens can do the shot 😄

[@avinashkumaravi2833]

Which lens is good for Panasonic Lumix g85??

[@Ansonandco]

My personal choice is the 25mm from 7artisans

[@npdady]

Thanks for the video, it really helps with my decision between these 2 lenses. I think I will get the 7artisans lens because of the shorter mfd.

[@trestanpatton6967]

Do you need a speedbooster, what speedbooster are you using for this video?

[@Ansonandco]

No speedbooster required!

[@muhammadmonjidabpi1624]

Hello. Can it produce a nice bokeh on full body human portrait? Thank you!

[@ryanwooten3118]

Can you review the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 on the bmpcc4k?

[@Ansonandco]

Ryan Wooten let me see if I can get my hands on it. I’m down!

[@brotherhoodfilms2291]

Thanks for the review and your enthusiasm! Does the pergear become tight for you when you focus at max distance on the bmpcc? It does for me and I'm hoping it's safe for the camera.

[@shreekarabhat8427]

Thank you for this video, much required one, I have been in confusion btwn 7artisan and meike 25 mm f/1.8, which one would u recommended?

[@Ansonandco]

I’ve heard a lot of good things about meike but I think 7artisans owns this market.

[@shreekarabhat8427]

Thanks a lot for your reply, ya u are right, I just got my p4k was searching for the ne budget lense to start with, these lense are very hard to find too in Indian market Like ur videos 👍 keep inspiring

[@Ansonandco]

Shreekara Bhat congrats on the P4k! Is the meike easier to get in your market? If so I would say it’s safe to go with that one as well. These lenses are very similar to each other. Usually they are only slightly different. Thanks!

[@shreekarabhat8427]

Lockdown has affected most of reseller's logistics here, will inform you post the buy✌️thanks for the suggestion 🙏

[@maqui1814]

I went with Meike 25mm f/1.8 for my a5100.

[@deryljones1898]

Good job, son- I love you- mom

[@jarosawzon4272]

You said that "7artisans is going to be a little bit more sharp" but other reviews say the opposite that the Pergear is sharper.

[@Ansonandco]

Unless something has changed since this test. The pergear is absolutely more soft than the 7artisans

[@jarosawzon4272]

@@Ansonandco It's definitely not. I bought both lenses and I've tested them. Pergear is clearly sharper. Maybe you got the photos wrong or your copy is damaged. Check.
