As someone who started selling cameras in 1978 on to 1987 every 35mm camera came with the 50mm lens. it wasn't until about 1983 that "Kit lenses" came out and customer's had the option. to buy the camera with the 50mm, or with the 35-70 kit lens. that's why the popularity of 50mm lenses, not that they were desirable, but that it was the only lens available with the cameras from 1960-1983. I've owned 2 50mm lenses out of dozens of lenses and cameras that I've owned. the first was the 50mm f1.7 that came with my Minolta XD-11 back in 1979, the second I bought a 50mm f1.4 Canon lens for my Canon 5DmII, but I rarely used it. Again, they were popular because it was what they got, not really what they wanted. I did get a 50mm f.095 lens with my 1957 Canon 7 that I bought in 1982, but it was classic and used.

I was surprised by how much better the Brightin Star is optically. It is noticeably sharper and has more contrast wide open, as well as less aberration. Its rendering is smoother, more controlled, and the bokeh is beautiful. It's in every way the superior lens. I suppose it could be sample variation, but I'd buy the BS again without hesitation.

Hi Mark, I ordered this lens because of your enthusiastic review. It was finally delivered last week and I am very disappointed. Yes, it delivers sharp images, but at least my copy has serious chromatic aberrations, both lateral and longitudinal, so much so that they are clearly visible even without magnification. When I compare my results with your statements, I can't believe that this is the same lens.
@ricardoespanol7773 ай бұрын
Very often more expensive products are more expensive because of a strict warranty control that assures coherence in specification among different units. Cheaper products often have a less strict warranty control and differences among units can be bigger. My advice would be to try a replacement.
@chesslover88292 ай бұрын
I'm sure the copy of the lens Mark reviewed is a good one because the manufacturer sent him a cherry-picked sample. Such practices are unethical. Unfortunately, cheap lenses with a no-name brand are a risk to buy because of lax production standards and hit-or-miss quality control. For those reasons, I would never buy this lens. If you want a hand holdable camera that's nearly perfect and will create a similar image style presented in this video, then buy the Leica M11-P Rangefinder with a Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens (2023 Version) for a total of $13,890.

The lens without CAs I can wholeheartedly recommend is Samyang 35/1.2, it's clinically sharp wife open, no CAs or flair. Also that's the reason it's too boring to shoot. 😂

Especially with these sensors that we have now!

I tested it against a f1.4 lens, same light, same iso, with auto shutter speed,; and this f2.4 lens generated a faster shutter speed than the f1.4 lens. Maybe it's the optical formula or the chemical composition of the glass. Kipon/iberit.

I just received this lens yesterday. Very impressive. One minor detail they overlooked, the focus scale on the lens has a marking for f11 even though the lens doesn't have an f11 aperture click. How could you manufacturer a lens and miss something so simple? The hard stop on mine is also quite a bit off of infinity but that might just be my copy. Also when i go from f4 to f8 it only loses one stop of light which doesn't seem correct, that should be 2 stops right? I think the unmarked click between 2.8 and 4 is supposed to 4, and 4 on the lens is actually 5.6. Overall it's a fun and challenging lens to use
@markwiemels Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing this. On the hard stop going past infinity, that’s normal and part of the design. If the hard stop is at infinity, temperature variation can actually change exactly where infinity is, on the lens, meaning you may not be able to get to infinity in some cases. Pretty much all modern manual lenses turn past infinity. Thanks for the information on the aperture too, I didn’t pick that up.
@dan.allen.digital Жыл бұрын
I'd be curious if your aperture markings are the same. I lose 2 stops of light on the exposure scale when I go from 2.8 to 4. So I definitely think the un-marked dash is supposed to f4 and f 4 is actually 5.6

I have a Mitakon 35mm f0.95 ii which is an excellent lens, but this sounds even better. The trouble with the Mitakon is chromatic aberrations are terrible. It’s the mk ii version of the lens as well which is said to have improved upon this flaw. It might be a quality control issue though as it’s soo bad on my copy that I just use it for b&w images. But if what you say on this lens is true, then I might seek one out. Also a clickable aperture is nicer, although the declicked one on the Mitakon isn’t a major issue for me.

Based on this video I just grabbed this lens before heading on a quick "vacation" and I'm not sure I'm impressed. My current walk-around lens has been a Sony 35mm 1.8, what everyone ranks as an OK, not great lens, I initially really learned photography back in the film camera days with my dad's late 60's/early 70's Nikormat with a 50mm lens, so the 35mm on a crop (a6400) is my go-to. Yes, at f.95 it can practically see in the dark, and the build quality looks and feels incredible, but I'm not impressed otherwise. I've spent 2 days with this lens and I can't nail focus to save my life, I have other manual lenses that I don't have a problem with, but with this one, the focus assists on and off, peaking levels... everything changes from subject to subject trying to nail the focus. With a lot of work, you can get a pretty sharp focus on portrait-type shots (and from 4' away I can get a sharp eye on the dog but the nose and everything else are blurred) but nothing gets me sharp focus at longer distances, landscape type shots, nothing works. At infinity Everything is out, even trying f stops up to f8, and a little in from the infinity stop where the focus peaking is the best it's better, but not great (both my Tamron superzooms are MUCH better, and the Sony 35 is in a different league, with identical manually set f stop, shutter and ISO). The Sony "walks around" with a Best Buy Platinum UV filter/lens protector (tested to be one of the better budget choices) and a lens hood all the time, so I figure, maybe one of them is giving the Sony an unfair advantage... I take them off... it's the same. I finally decided I'll try to take a picture of a very textured shower mat with both lenses at different distances from about 1' to 12', the same exact settings, everything. There's just no comparison. This lens looks OK full screen, the Sony looks crisper, but if you zoom in to full size the Sony remains crisp and this one falls apart. This one is so bad, after all the awesome reviews here and other places I don't even feel like I just got "a bad one." It feels like I'm doing something entirely wrong. Unless I'm missing something it's going back, and I'll probably send it back as defective.

I'll be doing some tutorials on how to use it since I have no idea how to make adjustments and successfully take photos with it. If you can recommend a tutorial I would very much appreciate it!

The amazon link to the lens in your description is only a 2.0 lens? Doesn't go down to .95 like you say? Or am I missing something?

please, i can't get around it..🥲 a 35mm lens, on a APS-C will ALWAYS increase to Xmm (X= focal leght * crop factor) or, if i choose a lens that say "for APS-C", it's already compensated? thanks
@markwiemels11 ай бұрын
35mm is the same as 35mm on full frame, you just get a cropped images with a smaller filed of view. Unless you already shoot full frame and know what focal lengths you prefer, then don’t even put the mental effort into thinking about it.

Bought a different lens from them directly and choose the „EOS-M“ mount option, which perfectly fits on my M50! I noticed that sometimes the website won’t display all mounts, had to reload or select the lens by searching it on their website, not selecting it from the catalog.

It is not available in Europe yet, just the 50mm f:0.95. I bought the 7Artisans 35mm f:0.95 for Fuji when it was presented (2020 I think) and it stays in my bag because optically it is awesome, is it that one better? The single thing I don't like about the 7Art it is the declick aperture but after one month of use I solved that problem using a "break", it is not made for but it works, no, I am not using a scotch tape.

Based on the specs and build, I think this is a tweaked version of the 7artisans model, but don’t have that one to compare.

Going through so many of your videos are great. I do have a question though about Mieke.vs TT.vs.7artisans looking at a number of their F.09 versions and other ones and they often look like they're literally manufactured by the same company or do they come from the same factory or something? Or subcontracted or is there any explanation for this. One of your videos featured the Mieke but I could see yet I could only find the exact same model but it was made by Ttartisans. Weird.

Great lens, thanks! I just checked on the manufacturer's site: But why is it not available for Canon EF-S since it's made for APS-C?? I don't get why we get cut off on most of these great lenses, like there are no Canon DSLR cams out there. Ridiculous!
@W00dy_NL2 ай бұрын
Because it is not a Retrofocus design. Long technical story: it's not designed for an SLR and needs to be closer to the image sensor, that is only possible with mirrorless camera,s. If you would put it on a DSLR it will not focus to infinity and basically be a non intentional macro lens. Which it is not designed for.
@WildpixFPV2 ай бұрын
@@W00dy_NL Thank you very much for the explanation, this helped me a lot. So this is for cropped sensor of mirrorless cams. I was connecting mirrorless too close to full frame in my mind. Just like I did with APS-C to DSLR. Strange thinking of a confused noob! 😆

The EF-M is a superior lens, in some regards. This is a less expensive option that's manual focus and goes to 0.95, and it's great, but the EF-M lens is really top shelf.
