You just showed that good review doesn’t need fancy effects. Great job.

Thank you. Lots of "Reviews" about these lenses, but they are all about the "feeling" you have with a manual lens. No one bothered to do test photos to show the image quality.

Just bought a used one of these for 35 euros, can't go wrong at that price, and I'm excited to try it out (in the post atm). Fantastic review, really well done and informative :)

A nice comparison. I have the 25 F1.8 Pergear and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was for the cost. I think if you are budget conscious and need a good lens to get you started either one would be a fine choice although I prefer the Pergear.

I m using the 7artisans on my videos on my channel..y can see it's really nice...I don't want too much sharpness in my movies...that soft touch makes the visuals so much sweeter I feel...nice vid btw thx y

A great review. I have the Pergear 25/1.8 and my experience aligns with what you have reported. It performs well on my Fujifilm X-T20 and I have been very happy with my choice.

Great video and comparison, waiting for my Pergear to arrive!

This is an excellent comparison, thanks so much for taking the time - super helpful! Subscribed 👍😊 Paul

I have the 7Artizsans and not problems. It's a nice travel lens for indoor(churches, museums...).

WOw. Really nice review. Thank you!

Pergear colors are really nice, reminds me of Kodak 35mm film, sharper and better barrel distortion, nicer bokeh, I ordered one! So bad it lacks a little bit more contrast :(

Great review. Thanks. The comparisons really help with making a choice. I think I prefer the 7 Artisans because the colors look more realistic.

Man, that was a solid review. Instant sub. :) thank you very much

Well done with the image comparisons. The Pergear seems sharper but lacks contrast.

I wish I'd seen your review before purchasing my 7artisan. Good review with excellent comparative info.

Very good review thank you sir ;-)

Thank you for this very helpful video. Nicely done. Even though I can see the differences in your side-by-side comparisons, both look good to me. LOL I would feel good about owning either of these.

Instant subscribe. I like you. Good thorough, mature review, audio paired well etc. Peace. :-)

I have the Pergear 35 mm F1.2 and I just love the low contrast it generates, in fact looks like my XF 33mm F1.4 with black pro mist filter. And I just came to this video to check if the Pergear 25 mm F1.8 would be well paired with the Pergear 35 mm in terms of image consistency.

thing is pergear is giving very good cinematic look in comparison too 7 Artisans but i think we can do color grade with 7 artisans videos then it will be good because if we do color grade with pregear videos then limitations were there

Pergear all the way 🙌

I'm looking at this lens for my Fuji system and just order the TTArtisans 50 1.2 and 35 1.4 and can't wait to use them. Thanks for the video..

super review

Thanks from Argentina, im going to Pergear ;)!

Good review! Pergear by a nose!

Nice video, would be very cool if you do a comparison between the Pergear 35mm f1.6 vs the TT artisans 35mm f1.4

I love this review. Thanks.

tHANK You!!

Thanks for a most informative and well produced review. With the range of low cost lenses from China now it is becoming rather confusing. It would be interesting to know if both Pergear lenses performed the same as I wonder how good quality control is with the lenses from China. I'm an Olympus user and have Meike 35mm f1.4, the 7 Artisans 55mm f1.4 and the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 Mk 1. The Meike and 7Artisans lenses perform like analogue lenses (no surprise) with the Meike being the sharper of the 2 and providing lovely colours. Both are good value. The Kamlan is a fun lens but the performance isn't that good. I believe that the Mk2 is much better.

i don´t know why i prefer the look of the artisans even when the pergear seems to have a bit more technical qualities. some kind of vibe? i don´t really know

Nice comparison video.

I have the 7Artisans and what drives me crazy is that distances printed on the focusing ring are way WAY WAY!! off. If you set the lens at 4 feet by the scale it is in focus at 2 feet. Whoever did the calculations for where to print those numbers on the focusing ring must have been figuring for a completely different focal length. The depth of field scale is also pure fiction. For us old timers who used to do street photography from the hip by presetting focus from the scale it is a big deal that 7Artisans did not spend the time to get this right.

Thanks for the great review! For quite some time I've been looking to get some nice little camera for street photo and ended up replacing my Canon 50d for a Fuji x-e1 cause the 50d was just too chonky for my street photo workflow. Thanks to your review I decided to get the 7 Artisans 25mm f1.8 and I couldn't be happier. This camera and lens combo is exactly what I was looking for for all those years of shooting soviet analogue rangefinders and perfectly suits my love for contrast and old imperfect soviet lenses.

Thanks fot this video!

How is the focus breathing in both lenses? 7 artisans is a mess! Is pergear any different?

You're doing god's work

Cool !

really surprising to me, how much better the pergear performs. i have the pergear 12mm f2. and i am not very impressed. thats why i thought the 7artisans might be better here. but the pergear 25mm seems impressive...

In some shots Pergear looks like log profile...

really nice comparison! What is the MFD of both? Any substantial difference?

I ordered 7 artisans.for cannon m50.

So Which lens My Panasonic Camera Lumix g85 bast plz tell me sir

7👍🏻

it seems there's a t-stop difference.

2:58 and f/8, 7 Artisans has a much sharper image. But does anyone shoot at f8? At 3:31 the focus on the Pergear seems AWFUL- but didn't you say at f/1.8 the Pergear was a bit sharper? So was this a Focus issue or a sharpness issue? I hope you are taking multiple shots and picking the sharpest for each lens. You say the Pergear is sharper but I wonder if you have motion or focus issues. At 5:22 the 7Artisans is FAR sharper. The Bike seat pic was the opposite, with Pergear seeming sharper. I also think the car headlight showed 7Artisans as sharper. But 5:22 7 Artisans was again far clearer- which makes me think there were motion issues with the flower shots- even a small breeze makes the flowers move. They are not good for such tests. 6:08 hard to make a fair comparison because the image on the left was cloudier while the one on the right had more direct sunlight. Nice call on Bokeh shape. I LOVE the idea of this comparison. However I think you need another round, with more careful controls over motion, lighting and triple-check that focus. Also, it would be fun to see what happens if you compare your two PerGear lenses! I also wonder: which lens is *really* 25mm wide?
