The Fujifilm autofocus lenses offer so much more convenience. Not only do they have autofocus but they provide a better experience shooting the full aperture range of a lens. The problem is not everyone wants to calibrate their own lens. I think TTArtisan would sell more units if they offered the lens calibrated as an option (at a higher price point). If I was TTArtisan I’d team up with a third party company to calibrate a batch of their lenses and then sell on with their added price mark-up. Seems obvious to me.(If you do it please send me a cheque in the post for the idea!). TTArtisan 50mm f0.95 portrait – stopped down slightly on Leica M240 Can find models to photograph?

TTArtisan 35mm F0.95 Large Aperture Manual Lens, Compatible

Do you think that this is a lens that will make Fuji lots of money? How many units do you think they will sell? Here you see the TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 vs Leica Noctilux 50mm f1 vs Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1, side by side size comparison. It’s big! Better than expectedI guess the new 33mm will get a clean pixel peeping look as it’s made for 40mp sensors with new optics. By comparison the Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 III designed for E-mount shows similarly bad corners but the midframe looks quite a bit better from f/2.0 onwards. infinity (24mp Leica M10) Thanks for yet another well done review. I have compared this and the Zhong Yi (for M mount) again and again, but can’t decide on any of them. So, I had some preconceived notions about a manually focused lens. And with a Fujinon 35mm F1.4 as a daily driver, I needed some motivation to spend my hard-earned money on yet another 35mm lens, that’s not pin-sharp and has manual focus. This is a very different lens as it is not optimized to give smooth bokeh at maximum aperture but rather nervous bokeh with lots of field curvature. Does not fit my taste, but maybe the cheapest option to get a new very fast 50mm lens.

TTArtisan 35mm f/0.95 Review | 5050 Travelog

Hi, on most Fujifilm cameras you have two important manual focus tools you should know, to make best use of lenses like this. For me I have a new simple reason : for the safety of the world I do not want to buy things made in China ! I agree, in principle, with the idea that a lens should serve your vision rather than provide it, but I’m not above using the rendering of this lens at f/0.95 to obfuscate all of the unavoidable visual mess around a subject (i.e. a house full of toys and unfolded laundry). It’s also just exciting to alter reality with an image. Even with the optical compromises at the wide end (softness, low contrast, color shift, and a buffet of chromatic aberration) the mind-bending subject isolation possible with this lens is so tempting to (over)use.What is your experience using mf focus? I came across your 35mm 7art review and I already own them. At 0.95 it’s quite difficult to mf, the dof is too thin, and in the article I saw you mentioned easy focusing, please share it, thank you. The TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 is probably the most anticipated lens by TTArtisan so far, as – at least on paper – it rivals the famous yet unobtainably expensive Leica 50mm 0.95 Noctilux. After testing the much-vaulted XF50mm ƒ1 (my review here), I have learned to understand that the toughest part of lens design in these super-fast lenses is whether the manufacturer can design them for optimum performance wide open. The XF50mm at ƒ1.0, for example, though exceedingly sharp, exhibited some chromatic aberration issues wide open, which I must emphasize here is perfectly expected for a lens that is so fast. The 5050 Travel photography Blog did an interesting review of the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 lens about a year ago - and posted a number of photos taken with the lens which I found somewhere between impressive and compelling. This TTartisan is very tempting with that 0.95 aperture but I can place a bid on a Nokton E f1,2 in good condition for 400.- (I own FE55 as walk around AF 50 and my other MF kit lens are Loxia 21 and CV Nokton 35mm f1,2 VMII). I’m also thinking of upgrading the 35mm for VM version 3 or the SE but the gain in performance seems not as big as with the 50.

I was quite pleased with the character rendered in the street photography images from the 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95. Manual focusing is not always a negative experience. You will be able to make sudden changes without relying on auto-focus settings and modes. I already have a Pentax SMC M 50 f1.4 that's excellent, so I wasn't sure getting an f1.2 was really justified. But now seeing the pretty minimal difference to f0.95 I'm second guessing whether it's worth it. Pretty much any of the Chinese lenses can do the dreamy look wide open. These lenses are good if you are looking for something that has a soft rendering at portrait / close distances.. I consider this as one of my toy / special effects lenses; for sharper, higher contrast type images at wide apertures, I have f1.2-f1.4 lenses that are much better.. Then I repeated the same scenario with a close-up a scenario and again focused on the hand in the image.I did read that the 7artisan version appears to be more like a 1.2/1.4 when it comes to actual light transmission and DOF - which would defeat the purpose if true. The Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 E lenses really struggled here and the Zenitar 50mm 0.95 E set a new negative record so I was very curious to see how the TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 fares. Most likely the same optical design as the f1.4, made bigger . (So vintage-style rendering..) For a bit more money, I think the 7artisans 35mm f0.95 is a better overall lens. (Much more complex optical design, so much better IQ / sharper wide open..) And for E-mount users it will be interesting to see if this lens performs better than the Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 E.
