What? Its a video about two lenses, maybe pay attention.

Thanks so much my friend! Appreciate the comment!

Thanks for the visit

Yes I am - it's on the list!

they look nice, right?

the backpack is Compagnon little backpack - check this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grhgnMqYrNCqfZ8.html

I use profoto A1X and A10, they can easily fire 10 fps, not sure if it does 20fps though...

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer I have the Profoto A10 and I agree and not sure about the 20 fps either.

HI TAYLOR

Ken Rockwell brought this up as well. That said, i own the 7artisans and i like it very much. If youre looking for an analytical 50mm then the 7artisans isnt for you. It IS, however, a very fun lens that renders excellent photos with a "vintage" vibe (as much as i hate that term). It flares but i don't have as much issue with if as you do. I wonder if you have an early production version without the added coatings i had read about somewhere. I also disagree about the bokeh lights. I think they look pretty nice. They will definitely distort at the edges of the frame but thats perfectly acceptable for a relatively inexpensive prime. That said, should 7artisans be more transparent about how they think this is 1.05? Yes, absolutely. But i still really like this lens. I dont think i would pay full price for it, but i got mine on the used market for what I think is a great deal.

yup, both lenses have aperture with no click, smooth operation

That's what it's called, exactly. How you can not know the expression if you attempt to review a camera lens, especially Chinese manual ones is beyond me. A good approach is to first gain some knowledge, including technical expressions, do some research and only then approach the manufacturers and shoot a video. But hey, I guess it's more like shoot first, learn second, kinda approach. Gotta get the content out, stat!

And what is the reason i would not use one? Sony 50 1.2 is 2000$

Why would it attract dust 10x more than other type of lens?! I've got a (Sony A7IV) and just bought that lens but I'll prolly return it as it's very disappointing. I'll copy/paste you my comment from elsewhere. "After reading like 200 comments and a few video, only 1 person noticed the same thing as I did with the one I bought. I was like: "Are all these reviewers or photographer stupid, lying, paid or what?". At F1.05 I DO NOT get twice the amount of light of F1.4 which I should according to the F-Stop chart! For example I looked up close to a spotlight on my ceiling with a fixed ISO then I've set the Aperture on the lens at F16, F8, F5.6, F4, F2.8, F2.0, F1.4... which ALL gave me 2x the amount of light so 1 extra stop as it should... but then when I went from F1.4 to F1.05 I got far less than a stop, at best F1.2 I would say. For example I'd go from 1/200 to 1/250 when it should had been 1/400 if I would have gained 1 extra stop. Plus it's really soft, major vigneting and flare wide open, and the lights in the bokeh are extremly ugly at F1.05 they look like lemons or football shape even though it has 13 blades aperture but then at F1.4 everything gets nearly perfect. If I have to use this lens at F1.4 or higher otherwise it's crap or a lie from 7Artisans, then I'd rather just buy an actual real F1.4 lens with AF! (-_-) Cheap chinese garbage."

People put mist filters on high end glass and directors like Snyder also use vintage glass for entire movies sometimes (shot one at F0.95 the entire movie). There is no elite way to do art across the board. The beauty of an A74 is that you can go high end when you want, and you can go dreamy when you want. A Zeiss F1.8 will not get you the same artistic vision as these lenses whatsoever. Different situations call for different looks.

Lmao. Best comment ever. There's plenty of 50's I'd take over the gm.... Unless the overpriced sterile look is what you are going for. As for the 55 it is a dust magnet and has more aberration than many cheap Chinese lenses and vintage glass. I'd still take the 55 over the gm...

@@nicedward7544 never had an issue with my old Zeiss 55 with dust and have you even owned or used a gm lens to validate your views that I disagree with?

Haha wow didn’t know that the way I change lenses disqualifies me as a pro photographer 😂🙈 I have no problem cleaning the sensor when needed - that process is super easy.

It surely doesn't send the right message to newbies, does it? Plus, cleaning a sensor, safe from a dust blower, can't be done out in an outdoor shoot location, now can it? So once you expose it like that your quality at any higher f-stop is compromised until you get back to a room or a car, with a table, and granted you have sensor cleaning swabs and liquid. I'd be surprised if you do carry them in your equipment bag. No-one likes cleaning their sensor, and surely you know that quite often even a wet clean doesn't get all the dust out. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if you actually had one of the newest camera bodies. Now if you did have one, they allow for auto close shutter on power off. If you still didn't bother to activate it and turn the body off before taking the lens off - now, that takes talent. I haven't met a pro in the field that parades with their sensor exposed like that. You know who does, tho? Photography influencers. That's the only species I observed that does that. My main problem is that behavior is fake. It's like those stitch ups on Tik tok where people do some fake shit that no-one does in real-life, just for camera. Same here - no-one in their right mind taks their lens off and shake their camera body like a tambourine for a half minute, while having a monologue, do they? It's nuts. Also, I didn't call you an amateur. Judging by the work, I'd venture to say - quite the contrary. I critiqued your behavior. Every person has good and bad behaviors. A shining example here, a slip-up there. Surely, you wouldn't call this behavior (not your person) - sensible or popular among fellow pros in the field, especially on a dry day, outdoors., in the city with high particulate pollution nonetheless, now would you? Let's separate actions and individual worth, shall we? A bad action doesn't make you a bad professional, especially a single one. In this video you do explain some things, positioning yourself in a teacher capacity, to some extent, at least. My goal was to point out to all those who're just beginning - kids, don't do that - it's silly, you'll get you sensor dirty as fuck, real fast, you can't wet clean it in the field, cleaning takes resources (swabs / gel) and time, best avoid dust as much as you can. I'm certain you'll agree that's the right message to send, eh?
