You sir are by far, one of the greatest producers of our time, I don’t want to belittle what you do by putting a label on it; you are far more than a “camera review channel” or “content creator” - such titles you transcend! ...the beautiful inception (of which the irony has, rather alarmingly, been taken literally by more questionably witted folk than I’m comfortable with!), was produced to the highest levels - utterly genius. The biggest brands would be lucky to have you produce their next campaigns! Thank you for what you do Warmest regards from the deepest rural UK!

I have this lens and I agree with your review. At f0.95 it is sharper than a few f1.4 lenses I have at similar focal length. I use it mainly on my Fuji GFX50R. Its hard to nail focus when wide open without using magnification, but even when you don't get the image 100% sharp the whole ambience of the photo with its amazing bokeh means the image can still be acceptable. A highly recommended lens for people looking for an ambience in their images, over precision.

[@domlabr]

What's coverage/vignetting like on the 44x33mm GFX sensor?

[@jedunboxing4127]

I wonder why the review with other vloggers is so negative, so I was hesitant to buy this

[@Muchtoobizy]

@@jedunboxing4127 I haven’t read or watched other vloggers. One thing to know with this lens and the cheaper Chinese lenses in general, is that there is significant model variation. Don’t expect a Leica or Zeiss lens for a TT Artisan price. This lens shot wide open evokes an atmosphere because of its rendering. It does that job very well and that is what such lenses are designed for. For the price it is a good lens if it’s used as intended. If you are curious about the lens, try to find one second hand so that you don’t lose too much money if it doesn’t work out for you. I recently acquired a Mitakon 65mm f1.4 lens designed for GFX system. If you have a GFX camera, this is a superb lens to create ambience/atmosphere.

[@shotbybonham2761]
