I have this lens and can’t agree more. Great advice on getting rid of that flare! I’ve got to try it. Thanks Mark

[@markwiemels]

Yea, this lens was a real surprise to me.

[@mhammer5]

Hello Mark. I just ordered my first digital camera a Sony FX30 arriving next week. I have three 35mm film cameras from the early 1980's. I did manage to buy on special four lenses for the FX30. I bought TTArtisan 35mm F0.95 Large Aperture Manual Lens, TTArtisan AF 56mm F1.8 Auto Focus Lens, TTArtisan 25mm F2 Wide-Angle APS-C Camera Lens Large Aperture Manual Fixed. I want one of the cine lenses. What do you think my choice should be, 25 or 35mm?

[@jdiamond9513]

Thanks for explaining the differences between cinematic lenses and photographic lenses. It’s something I’ve been wondering about. Another question I have that’s relative to this lens, is do you find having manual focus to be a problem when shooting B-roll footage for nature videos? I’m thinking about something like moving the camera across the ground or over a bush. I’m an “old” photographer wanting to get into doing some cinematography as a hobby and I’m looking at some of these budget lenses you review.

[@OlympiaMortgageLender]

Would you grab this vs the sirui nightwalkers? I have a canon r7 and r8, so im looking at 7artisans vision, spectrum and sirui nightwalkers for my first cine lense. For reference, I currently have the rf 2.8 trinity and the sigma art 18-35 & 50-100 f/1.8s, looking for something different for short narrative videos.

[@markwiemels]

Have a look at the 35mm Vision lens, it's the best of all of them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZnEgGWdd5Kao5Ysi=dEACc_gUeN3bLssY

[@OlympiaMortgageLender]

Thanbks for the feedback! @@markwiemels

[@lionheart4424]

Wow footage looks amazing! Sad that there is no version for EF-M. Might check the Sony one if I decide to upgrade from the a6000 one day.

[@markwiemels]

Yah, the steady decline of EF-M support has been disappointing.

[@ivisonpacheco3118]

Hello, could you ask me a question? I bought a Panasonic G9 camera for photography and video. Can I use this lens on my Panasonic, and which adapter will I have to buy? Thanks.

[@LookAwayEntertainment]

Have you tried the SLR Magic 25mm T0.95? Wondering if it would be sharper

[@marcesmack]

Hey Mark, thanks for this video! I just bought the 35mm one because of your video! I have an FX30 and an a7iii full frame and I want to use this in both cameras. Is this the right choice? Because I do like the 25mm focal…

[@markwiemels]

I would probably still go for the 35mm. It's sharper and can cover most of the full frame sensor. I also prefer 25mm for video, so it's a hard one.

[@marcesmack]

@@markwiemels I bought the Sirui 24mm anamorphic 2.8 and I was going to use that for 25mm. But I’ll test the 35mm and probably end up getting the 25mm later on. lol.

[@PJPantelis]

beautiful sample footage mark!!

[@markwiemels]

Thanks mate!

[@NeuralNarratives2023]

Would you say there are any advantages to using a cine lens for photography? Would i get increased sharpness or overall image quality? or would i just be paying more than i would for a still lens of a similar focal length?

[@NeuralNarratives2023]

my apologies. i asked too soon. your video answered all my questions.

[@AM-bq4cx]

Gr8 video. Which camera were u using for the video u have shown

[@markwiemels]

Thanks. A7IV

[@AM-bq4cx]

@@markwiemels so for a7iv u were using it on apsc crop mode as this lens does not supports full frame inthink

[@markwiemels]

@@AM-bq4cx Yes, there is a mix of A7IV and FX30, I can’t really tell the footage apart, looks pretty similar.

[@RyanChoo]

Hi Mark, your review is helpful and I am considering getting one in Micro Four Thirds mount. What would my effective focal length be in full frame terms - 50 mm?

[@markwiemels]

Yes.

[@zackketz]

7Artisans needs to keep making EF mounted lenses.

[@hbmorris5558]

It's not available in an AF mount? I'm using a Canon C500 Mark ii, Mark. What do you suggest?

[@Cadey]

Most cinema lenses are manual focus only. I'd suggest picking up the TTArtisan 25mm APS-C manual lens and then starting to internalize the hyperfocal distance scale. Once you get good with zone focusing, you'll be faster than you would with autofocus.

[@AudioHotline]

I have been very tempted to buy this lens!

[@markwiemels]

I'm barreling though a bunch of these budget Cinie lens right now. This is one of my favourites, it's a prefect focal length too.

[@makaheng]

Hi Mark, does this 25mm useable on a full frame sensor ? How bad is the vignette ? How much do i have to crop in ? Thanks in advance !

[@markwiemels]

The 25mm needs a 1.3-1.4 crop on full frame. I would go with the 35mm if you plan to use it on crop and full frame.

[@thatchinaboi1]

​@@markwiemelsWould I be better off with the 25mm for slightly wider FOV? (24mm x 1.4 vs 35mm x 1.2)

[@MightyMigi]

Can you do a video on the 50mm and 12mm I bed the 12mm is going to blow your mind I got it and it blows my mind every time I turn on my camera and I use the BMPCC 4K

[@markwiemels]

Yes, I have videos on both.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

​@@markwiemels There's a Cion here in Melbourne,... with the same sensor as the BMD4K, but custom made mounts.

[@markwiemels]

@@PiDsPagePrototypes What is a Cion?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@markwiemels AJA's Cine Production camera - ENG sized body with S35 Global Shutter sensor - It's a rarity, only 2000 made, considered a sales flop by the reviewers who didn't have the skills, or didn't read the manual, to know how to use it. DCI 4K Uncompressed Raw to 120fps Global Shutter, Linear Output, not Log. Linear makes it ideal for CGI and Games. Needs to be lit like working with Kodak 320D or 320T film. Bleeding edge tech back in 2014. There's two in Australia.

[@cyano3d]

Could you make a short comparimg a cine and photo prime lens footage, like sigma lens as its in the same price range. I would love to see how different the footage looks

[@markwiemels]

Which sigma are you looking at?

[@markwiemels]

Great idea for a video btw.

[@cyano3d]

@@markwiemels 30mm 1.4 for my xt5 I also want a cine lens in my kit which is why i am looking at 25mm but its double the price and i have doubts on the qc

[@markwiemels]

@@cyano3d yah, that sigma is a pricey lens.

[@cyano3d]

@@markwiemels nah man its the opposite. I can get the sigma for 300.bucks but the 7art is 500 here

[@jeffcemel7268]

Did you have to use a ND filter for the night shots with it wide open to keep the 180 degree shutter angle?

[@markwiemels]

I don't worry about the 180 rule, in most cases it doesn't actually matter. I think most night of the night shots were 1/50 to 1/200.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

​​@@markwiemels Come to the dark side, we shoot Global Shutter at true 360 degrees :D

[@pureheartvisuals]

6:00 Quality Diopters 👍🏽

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

is it full frame ????? or S35/ APS-c

[@markwiemels]

APS-C.

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

@@markwiemels nice video,.. great channel thanks for the reply

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Why is the door open? I would have been pleased if it were still camera available in Leica M body mount. Oh, well.

[@EposVox]

MFW these are always APS-C :(

[@markwiemels]

They make a T2 version for full frame, which is equally good, but it's T2. To make a 25mm T1.05 full frame, it would probably be the size of a small garbage can. Side note for Sony users, the lens in usable with clear image zoom at 1.3-1.4 on full frame, or 1.2 with active steady shoot. I use it on my A7IV with active steady shot at 1.2-1.3 clear image zoom and it's pretty good.

[@markwiemels]

For sure, traditionally that has been true. These lenses are targeted at consumer cameras though, so I suspect they are just making the best affordable lenses they can, for both sensors.

[@chadaztig07]

These are manual lenses right?

[@markwiemels]

Yes

[@erickwinebrenner9827]

No Canon EF though huh?

[@hellozzh]

@@CO8848_2 EF and PL mount are still the best mount that can be used on basically any mirrorless or cinema camera, regardless of what brand we use today. So, if any lens offer EF or PL option, grab it over any other mount. You will have way wider resell customer options, and not afraid if you have to work with any different camera system.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

​​@@CO8848_2 Yuuuup. The one and Only manufacturer sticking to DSLR, is Pentax, who have even been getting retired engineers in to teach the current staff, so they can build a brand new all mechanical film SLR. Every other photography body manufacturer has gone Mirrorless, meaning thier photo cameras are now really just Camcorders with a different body (where before they were large sensor camcorders with optical viewfinders) Pentax did the K-01 mirrorless, but now sticks to mirror lockup and Live View rear screen instead of using the optical viewfinder, keeping backwards compatibility with the 10,000 odd models of lenses that will their bodies. Shame their video mode gets zero support internally for up to date development.

[@Abuzwebstar]

Wait till he finds out about the 7artisans 14mm 😅

[@lance_medul]

I notice that you never say the brand of the lens itself when you review budget lenses, not even in the description. is this on purpose?

[@markwiemels]

I gave the lens model and manufacture at the start of the video. I don’t always though.

[@lance_medul]

@@markwiemels oof I wasn't paying attention then. I just thought you didn't do it again because of bias from your previous videos, sorry.
