    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.

Average photos became interesting. I intend to buy one for a Canon M5. The colors are superb, creamy and glossy if you want. That's a lens one can buy "just" for pleasure.

    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.

      I shoot on Fujifilm. I have the 7Artisans as well, and despite the fact that the Brightin Star appears physically almost identical and uses the same optical formula, I bought it for the clicked aperture. 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. It's really amazing for the price.

    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
      @markwiemels  Před 8 měsíci +6

      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
      @dan.allen.digital Před 8 měsíci +2

      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

    at 14:32 something very nice happens - that Only in manual lenses can be done -
    Only in in manual lenses you can change the Aperture WHILE shooting video!
    sure, its not something that film-graphy people will notice right away (cuz of variable ND filters)

    its a very useful tool, especially when you're in need for a fast correction without stopping the flow of the filming

    I learned off a manual exposure, rangefinder focus and black and white. I do miss being able to just take my time to get the right shot. Had to be deliberate with film....

    Nice review. I got the TTArtisan 35mm f0.95 because of your review of that lens and it's wild bokeh. And now this comes along. I only wish they released a month earlier so it could have been an option ;-) Enjoying the TTArtisan tho!

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Yes, I'm still happy with the TTArtrisans lens. The imperfections and crazy bokeh are actually what people like about the images.

    Really want to get this lens. I shoot mft and I’m not as thrilled by the idea of a 70mm prime, but I’m extra thrilled by the 0.95

    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.

  • @terrylyn
    @terrylyn Před 8 měsíci +2

    These lenses are usually based on some vintage lens but manufactured with modern materials and precision assembly, hence giving better image quality. Anyone know the equivalent vintage lens of this one?

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 8 měsíci +3

      I think this is something that may have been the case a long time ago, but this is an 11 element lens, it's far too sophisticated to be based on a vintage lens. So I believe this is a complete new design.

    APS-C Blurred~(how to say in english ) 0.95=full size 1.4 light= 0.95
    In fact,From the south of China ~ it is an OEM factory with several lens design factories. The coating comes from CCTV.
    Southern Lens Factory sometimes uses a similar design, but the shell is different.
    From the nouth of China ~ Zhongyi has worse coating. but Zhongyi has the Nikon lens grinder from the 1980s

    I took your advice and purchased this lens from Amazon (your link) I am a beginner and using it with a Canon R6 Mark II new camera. I was surprised at the weight of this lens. 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!

    • @almantasgurgzdaitis7786

      I would like to know too.

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I have not tested that one, but it has a suspiciously similar size, shape, and optical specs, but not identical. So I don't think they are the same lens, but it's hard to know. Based on the performance of this lens, I can't image any lens, at any price, being "significantly" better , simply because this one is so good already, there not much room to improve. The Mitikon is twice the price, and I think it would he hard to justify. Honestly, if this lens was $400-500, I would still have thought the price was fair.

  • @357835
    @357835 Před 5 měsíci

    I cannot recall if you mentioned it in the video. I know it is an APS-C lens, but can it be used on a DSLR camera? If so, is the performance the same? Just subscribed, love your channel and your detailed reviews. Last question, new photographer with an old Cannon T3I currently using a Cannion 18-135 IS lens F3.5. Stepping out of the kit lens, you sold me on this or the Sigma 15-35 1.8. Your thoughts on which one to get. I am not afraid to set aperture or focus.......but like the "prime" style photos that the Sigma 15-35 1.8 gives with a convince of a zoom.

    • @anthonyreid7221
      @anthonyreid7221 Před 29 dny

      Swap to micro four thirds while you're not too financially invested. Apsc sony is even nicer but it's $$$.
      You can guy a used olympus em10ii for a couple hundred bucks. Great camera. Wifi, focus peaking, live composition mode. Easily use vintage lenses and used glass is very affordable.

  • @The_NSeven

    • @s.terrell

  • @Jonathan-hu3lk
    @Jonathan-hu3lk Před 6 měsíci +1

    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.

    • @JeDxDeVu

  • @mickdean2256
    @mickdean2256 Před 5 měsíci

    Great review. The version I have doesn't have a clicked aperture ring so they must have updated it perhaps? But everything else you say is bang on the money.

    • @anthonyreid7221
      @anthonyreid7221 Před 29 dny

      Do you have one of the other similar looking .95f lenses? This one definitely has a clicked aperture wheel. I love mine. Works perfect with focus peaking, and I can leave it wide open 99% of the time. It's super sharp. Great for portraits and animal pics. My toddler moves way too much. I have a sigma 30mm 1.4 for that.

  • @NelsonSoler2k

      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.

      I do, but have not compared them head to head. I own both, and prefer this lens by far.

  • @salarycat
    @salarycat Před 7 měsíci

    Do you know how it compares to the other 35mm 0.95 lenses? I have the mitakon speedmaster 2 which was the first and is quite a bit more expensive, but it as a lot of flaws at 0.95. Does it have enough better quality to justify this one?

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Have not tested that one, but this is one of the best lenses I have ever tested, and the best f0.95 lens by far.

  • @XavierMinguellaPhotography
    @XavierMinguellaPhotography Před 7 měsíci

    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.

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 7 měsíci

      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.

    One last question Mark. Do you think this lens can be a good alternative of Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/0.9 or is it worth to pay 1500$ for Voigtlander while it's possible to get Brightin Star only for 200$ ?

    • @markwiemels

      Since I have not had any experience with that lens, I can’t really say. Would love to give you an answer, but I just don’t know.

  • @sf-gt9co
    @sf-gt9co Před 4 měsíci

    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

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 4 měsíci +1

      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.

    I'd like to get this lens but I have pretty bad eyesight and usually rely a lot on autofocus and other assists from my Sony camera, if I use this lens would I still get help from peaking highlights? That's the only issue stopping me from clicking the buy button.
