I bought this lens in January 2024 from a Chinese University student who brought it directly from China (just a cool origin story) and its snowy here in Calgary. I can not wait to use it when the world is green again and not white and dead as these winters tend to be. Its such an interesting lens.

I have shot film for 20 years (medium format 7yrs) and obsess about the subtlety of tone that comes from slight imperfections of film and old glass. this lens has that exact same feel.....on digital......!!!!!!!!! I am considering this lens because I am moving into video and considering Panasonic S5. Thank you for clearing up many things for me. Beautiful glass.

LOVE IT! BOUGHT THE 90MM and use it for weddings!!! Amazing... Now I am buying this one and saving from buying the 1.2 Nikon. I know there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE, but manual focus and creating artistic images that will look different than the competition is what makes this lens so attractive for my wedding photography. I use the TT Artisan Lens about 8% of every wedding now and that is just enough to get unique shots.

Have you focus peaking with this manual lens on lumix cameras? I have s5

I love your Lumix S content

Hello. I want to buy a 50mm luminose lens and I am thinking to buy this to my Lumix S5. I have try with a 50mm in AF but I always shot in manual. Do you think will be a good option to buy this lense for night photography and portrait (450€) or buy the 50mm 1.4 DG HSM ART by sigma (650€)? Thanks!!

Would love to see you do a portrait shoot with the 50mm f1.2 GM

Extremely sweet lens!

If 7artisans reads the comments, here's a suggestion that could benefit many of us, and you too; make an M-42 version that can be adapted or used with current adapters for the rest of us, I am a Pentax user and, being this a manual lens, I already own the M-42 to k adapter. There are adapters for Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. WIden your market. I own a working Spotmatic and several k-mount bodies, also an adapter for the k-mount lenses to EOS mount that accepts the M-42 to k mount adapter, a three-way fix. I also own a Sony MA body, a Minolta MD body, Canon FD and EOS bodies.

Have you tried the TTArtisans 50 f0.95 M mount lens on the S1R (of course with the M to L adapter)?? Just curious and if so how do you think they compare?

11:42 is just perfect! Love it!

Are you shooting on fuji? What an amazing color rendering.

Great vid! Where to get that shirt though?

Would love to see this vs an adapted TTArtisan 50mm f.095

Do you have a recommended lens hood to go with this and improve contrast?

got my l mount autofocus adapter for e mount. excited to get this on and see how it autofocuses.

oh man maybe i get this Lens :)

None clicked aperture is a deal breaker for me. Most photographers don't care about video.

Sick Tshirt!! Where can I grab one??

Sorry amazing guy, i love your videos and i love you so much ...!

TTARTISAN 50mm 1.4 has one of the best bokeh. I'm curious how 7art looks on 1.4.

character does/must not be perfect. So for me this lens IS perfect as it has character :D

Did you test on z mount?

I did not understand this as an excuse but as an explanation. I know what you have been after and why you felt you did not quite make it. The technical tools you use to get where you want to be are as interesting as the ideas behind them.

7artisans definitely lied about the price. 13:55 he says $186. I checked the price history from 03.21.2021-31.01.2022 €539-€500. So, Chinese lens without autofocus more expensive than the original Panasonic 50mm F1.8 AF. for €430. LOL

"... it is build like a tank" omg - I don´t know how many times I have heard that - and how many times no-one made a test! This is just so .... if you cannot veryfy QUALITY, than do not do that! You and everbody else can only veryfy HAPTICS, that is all. This is a huge difference. PS: If something is heavy it does NOT mean that it is more rugged.

they are so unlucky the GRAND MASTER has finally just been announced

It doesn't look professional? Never heard of it in 30+ year of photography.I also can't remember that someone in school back then mentioned if image is professional or not.

omg do yu have a girlfriend?
