It's a really great option. The TTArtisan 50mm f0.95 seems from reviews to be as sharp and contrasty as the Leica. But then it's a lot more expensive than this and much bulkier as a full-frame lens. This gives the option of really narrow depth-of-field on APSC in a small package with a vintage character that's ideal for shooting 'film on digital.'

Hey man, I have watched this review before but am returning to it now that I have the lens with me in need of your advice. It had been on my mind for a bit so I finally bought it but now after like 2 weeks of using it I find it has become sort of loose (the still part with the mount sits firmly but the part from the focus ring to the front of the lens seems to be loose) which makes the focusing of a 0.95 even harder than when it all was working well and to be honest is quite annoying when it's just wobbling there. Did you experience that phenomenon with yours (I have the sony one)? I am considering sending it back because of this and maybe trying a new copy but while for a lens 250$ might not be that much, it is still some money for something that in my opinion lacks some quality if not only mine starts coming apart 2 weeks into the use. It would be a shame since the fun with this lens is amazing but this worries me. Thanks in advance and again, even though I am not necessarily in the search for new gear right now, I gotta tell you I come back to your channel because of the great quality of the videos and the work you are doing. There is also a "zen" element and some friendly and positive energy to the videos I have watched until now which I appreciate! Have a good one Pav! 👊

i recently had a good deal on a brand new 7.5mm 7artisans for just 100€, so i thought i'd give it a try, and yeah i was blown away by the quality of their products, very very good image quality, actually accurate focusing markings, good contrast and colors, and obviously tons of fun with a fisheye lens. So now that they got this one out i'll probably buy it, i was a little afraid seeing their slip on lens cap, but i'm glad to hear that the front is threaded so i can adapt my filters and lens caps!

75mm f/1.4 equivalent. Very minor difference, I know. But a 75mm f/1.5 would let in ~90% of the light this lens does (wide open), while a 75mm f/1.4 would let in ~4% more light (again, wide open), so closer to f/1.4 by a little bit. I only mention this because ... I have no life 🥺

@@Keeper_of_nature Equivalent by DOF? Could you explain what you mean please? Total depth of field imaging an object 3m away: 75mm f/1.5 on 35mm sensor - 13.6cm 75mm f/1.4 on 35mm sensor - 12.7cm 50mm f/0.95 on APS-C sensor - 12.8cm So this lens is still closer (assuming a standard APS-C sensor - CF 1.52x) to 75mm f/1.4 FF than to 75mm f/1.5 FF. But depth of field is incredibly dynamic and depends on far more than just the lens and sensor pairing characteristics, so I'm not sure I follow your argument but I don't think I agree with it.

I know I can crop images or place my subjects further away from lens and then crop, but this seems to defeat the purpose of the f0.95 aperture. Is there a work around to making an ASP-C lens work without the vignetting or do I need to the consider the f1.05 which is built for a full-frame sensor? Are there other differences between the 2 lens I mentioned?
