Is f0.95 too different than f1.4? 7artisans 35mm f0.95 Review

[@colinthecameraguy]

I bought this lens as soon as it was released. I use Lumix MFT cameras so a wide aperture lens is very useful in low light situations. Considering the price, I was very pleased with the overall quality of this lens.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

Thanks for sharing

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

I think the lens isn't really f0.95 because the exposure doesn't change between .95 and 1.2 🤔 how can you really test it? The Fujifilm lenses have higher exposure at the same aperature

[@edwardchai5398]

I have this lens before. It does have chromatic aberration. Sometimes the bokeh can be a bit nervous, depending on the distance from the subject. But it is a very good lens especially for the price.

I think your old video just saved me 200 bucks. I got the whole Sigma trio and lately I got obsessed with bokeh. Was just about to buy one of these 0.95 lenses to complement the 1.4 ones just to get colser to the full frame look, but ... honestly ... seeing how tiny the difference is, I think I'm good.

[@MarinIonut3180]

First of all I really enjoyed your review but there's something you should know: f/stop on apsc has no EQUIVALENT on full frame. 1.4 is 1.4 no matter the system. F/stop measures the amount of light. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@evans9748]

You're correct about the F Stops in light gathering, F1.4 is F1.4 regardless of APSC vs Full Frame. The crop sensor does change the FOV and compression/bokeh though. He's saying the f0.95 will create bokeh similar to a FF F1.4, like how a 35mm will give the same FOV of 52mm.

[@albertsmith9315]

Thanks! You saved me $250. I am a Fujifilm shooter and already have the excellent 35mm f/1.4 Fuji X lens. I thought the f/ 0 .95 would give me a different look for out of focus blur, but the results of your test shows me to just be happy with my f/1.4. Additionally, I can also just get on with shooting in autofocus and not have to hope that nailed the focus manually. Again, thanks!

[@OmaGhomrawi]

Glad you find the video helpful. Wish you the best Albert!

[@danielcorry4136]

I have both lenses and I feel there’s still a difference in rendering of the lenses. The images/colors/focus falloff is different between the two. Both are very nice and fun to use. Also, there is a difference in amount of light the 0.95 lens let’s in so my iso using the 7artisans lens is typically lower than when I use the 35mm f1.4.

[@kismat_rana]

since it is f1.4 and f0.95 we were hoping to see low light video performance 🎭

[@cmck1777]

Great video. I guessed f0.95 and f1.4 wrong. Saved me a lot of money!

[@rocheuro]

I like your preset pack, its very subtile - which is something unique. all the other ytubers seem to OVERDOO their presets to a point they're just too much . I find your preset much more subtile and to me personally much more pro - looking.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

I apperciate your feedback. I would offer you a complimetary preset pack. Which one you like to download?

[@yttean98]

Good review, summaries in less than 10min good job. You take a lot of care and manhours in producing your video.

[@danielcorry4136]

Good review and comparison between the apertures. Thanks!

[@criscelleogarilva9953]

That's because you're comparing 1.4 vs 0.95 on the same lens. Using 1.4 will not look the same on another lens like the Sigma 30mm 1.4 or even on a Fuji 35mm 1.4, for example.

[@georgechen1124]

Great review on my favorite budget lens! Love your presets as well. Keep bring to the world masterpiece like this! 👍

[@OmaGhomrawi]

More to come!

[@henrahmagix]

Thanks so much for this video! It’s really helping me decide to buy this lens, especially the comparison images :) At 1:20 you say there’s no chromatic aberration, but at 4:43 I can see some blue/green colour pretty clearly around the cable in the background. Is that something different than chromatic aberration? I’m not very good with photography terms, thanks for helping :)

[@OmaGhomrawi]

You're right there is some chromatic aberration on the cable. In the first test, I did notice nothing. Thank you for highlighting that

[@vytautasslenderis2702]

I can understand why the difference between f0.95 and f1.4 is so negligible. Look at the optical design of the lens. This lens is nothing more, just a vintage lens (the front six elements comprise a double Gauss optical design used in most vintage lenses). The rest (a few rear) elements comprise basically a speed booster to make it "larger aperture". But the thing is that all speed boosters have their limits. Cheap ones have a limit of max f1.4 pass through aperture. And the maximum aperture they can go down to is f1.0 at most. (Metabones supposedly goes to f0.9). So, no wonder the rear elements "speedboost" the lens to only about a 1/3 of a stop more than the native aperture of the lens would be. So, this is basically a f1.4 lens with a (very cheap!) focal reducer. That said, I do like the f1.4 rendering of it, the out of focus bubbles look round and nice. It would be interesting to see a comparison of this lens in f0.95 with another f1.4 lens (Sigma 30 1.4 DC DN, for example).

[@paceyombex]

4:12 IDK, Isn't the point of a "fast lens" to allow you to shoot with faster shutter speed?

[@OmaGhomrawi]

Which one is faster 1/100 or 1/400 ? The 1/400 is 4 times faster, so fast lenses (fast aperture) offer you the chance to shoot at slow shutter speed such as 1/50

[@paceyombex]

@@OmaGhomrawi yes you can shoot with slower shutter speed using lens with big aperture (fast lens), but the point of using a fast lens is to allow you to shoot at faster shutter speed, isn't it? Why use big aperture and intentionally shoot at slower shutter speed? If you shoot with fast glass you don't need ibis to get a sharp photo, because your shutter speed will be really high, especially at 0.95 and, IBIS at slower shutter speed can't prevent your photo to not get blurry if your subject moved.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

@@paceyombex I mean you have the option to use a slow shutter in low light withud increasing the ISO settings

[@othomsen1]

A lens with a larger maximum aperture (that is, a smaller minimum f-number) is called a "fast lens" because it can achieve the same exposure with a faster shutter speed.

[@paceyombex]

@@othomsen1 My point precisely, if you are using fast glass you don't need to slow your shutter speed down (unless you are in a really dark room). Oh, and IBIS only works up to a certain point, if you go slower than lets say 1/15, even the best IBIS wont work especially if you are shooting portrait because your subject's movement will create blur.

[@puja1985]

Oh theres no much different in terms of the depth of field between f0.95 and f1.4, i boght this lens and already had sigma 16mm 1.4 autofocus lens. So i guess i should sell it back. Anyway. How about the low light photos and video between 1.4 and 0.9, is there any significant different or its just the same to?

[@ajphelps16]

I have a full frame camera should I get a 50mm 1.4 or just give this a shot

[@OmaGhomrawi]

This lens is made for crop sensors. You can use it on full frame but need to crop in the camera. Definitely getting a 50mm for full frame is a better idea

The 7 Artisans 35mm f/0.95 is one of the best of the Chinese f/0.95 lenses made, bar none. Most others in the range of f/0.95 to f/1.1 and several in between, look more like kaleidoscopes at full aperture.

[@conrod87]

hi, loved your video. really complete review, with sample image. . im using xt3 and im planning to buy ttartisan 50mm f0.95 for leica adapted to fuji mount. but im cofuse....are there any differences with xf56mm f1.2 in IQ, contras, bokeh, sharpness etc ?

Can you make another video with this lens and compare pictures when there is not much light ?

What do you exactly means ?

i found that the 7artisans lens is less contrast. compared to sony 35mm.

@Armando Lopez it work excellent with 6400.

[@fzeo]

@Armando Lopez my friend bought that lens. i ask her to get sigma 30mm but the shop sell her sony 35. are u sure u ganna go with manual lens? rather go with f1.4 with AF instead of 0.95 manual. now im planning to get samyang 35 1.4, for indoor it is okay. sigma 1.4 new is still expensive.

[@chumerranion778]

I have to say that I do not believe for a second that this lens is “free” of chromatic aberration. Show us an image with high contrast, or an image that is back lit. A relatively low contrast image like the one you showed doesn’t demonstrate anything at all.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

I am not promoting any brand, my feedback is based on my results. Generally speaking chromatic aberration shows the best on such reflective surfaces

[@RyanTroy]

good work bro!

[@CommentRodent]

So there's no noticable difference from f0.95-f1.4 on aps-c. Good to know.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

In my opinion not too much

[@CommentRodent]

@@OmaGhomrawi Yeah, I actually think the f1.4 bokeh looks better. The lens is DEFINITELY NOT chromatic abboration free, but good video noneoftheless anyways.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

@@CommentRodent In my testing I found it color fringing free at 0.95 :D

[@CommentRodent]

@@OmaGhomrawi You can see the color fringing on the video though. ;-; You can usually see it or it comes from between the focus area and bokeh. You mostly see it on contrasty scenes, but on your sample shots, I didn't see any visible chroma, but there was definitely some on the bike fork.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

It's likely they weren't honest about the aperature value.

[@benny9588]

0.95 is 0.95, there is no such thing as 0.95 on apsc is equivalent to 1.4 on full frame. period.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

The shallow depth of field quality of 0.95 on APSC is eqv. to f1.4 on Full Frame

[@benny9588]

@@OmaGhomrawi Absolutely wrong.

[@OmaGhomrawi]

@@benny9588 I don’t claim that statement to me. It’s well known. However when I test it myself I food that as wel. Simply I believe what I see.

[@Humungojerry]

@@benny9588 he’s right. at equivalent subject distance the comparison makes sense, the depth of field will be the same or very similar. you can check it yourself using an online DOF calculator. obviously for exposure, the f stop is the same regardless* *albeit, on aps c you will see slightly more noise at a given exposure/ISO, so effectively it’s the same in that regard. all that said, in real life use it makes very little difference.

[@patlezinc]

Talking about light or DOF? Because in terms of DOF you have to move back to have the same framing as full frame. And so the DOF is changed
