I respect that you're the only reviewer I know of who would make a 24 minute video about an off brand 50mm 1.8. In here to obsess about gear and you allow that, lol.

Hello sir Abbot , nice to see you. Missed a lot of your videos, because I did not get your notifications or page feed. Watching the videos now. I finally bought the sel 90mm Macro, was thinking about it ever since 3 years when I watched your reviews.

I hate to hear that I'm not showing up in the algorithms. I definitely get shortchanged sometime by KZfaq.

Hi Dustin, thank you for putting so much time and effort into this great review! I’m wondering how this really stacks up against the Viltrox alternative. Could you shed some light on that?

@DustinAbbottTWI 3 ай бұрын

I like this lens a little better optically, and the autofocus better on the Viltrox. This lens really has beautiful optics for the price.

@johansphoto 3 ай бұрын

Plastic lenshoods are better if you drop the lens top down. The hood should be soft/break to save the lens, just like the front of a modern car. Viltrox lenses with metal hoods are known to break when falling on the hood since it gives no cushion.

@DustinAbbottTWI 3 ай бұрын

That's fair, though the quality of plastics really varies. Some feel cheaper than others.

@ernstvandijk6342 2 ай бұрын

Great review, Dustin! If you had to choose between this lens and the Viltrox 50mm 1.8, which one would you choose and why (without taking the price difference into account)?

@DustinAbbottTWI 2 ай бұрын

Hmmm, tough question. The Viltrox is going to be the better focusing lens (and is more compact), but this lens has nicer optics and can produce nicer images overall. I'd probably lean towards this lens is you don't need top notch AF.

@ernstvandijk6342 2 ай бұрын

@@DustinAbbottTWI Thanks for your advice! As I don't need fast AF I will go for the 7Artisans. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

This or the samyang 45 f 1.8 in terms of image quality and sharpness?

@DustinAbbottTWI 3 ай бұрын

The 7Artisans is a little sharper, but it is also HUGE by comparison. The Samyang also has a little better autofocus. You'll have to determine what is the most important for you.

I'm confused - how on earth could a lens cause too MUCH colour saturation???

@DustinAbbottTWI Ай бұрын

It has to do with the optical glass. Some is better than other - more balanced, neutral, while other will produce slightly garish colors, be warm, cool, etc...

@gregsullivan7408 Ай бұрын

@@DustinAbbottTWI ok I understand now - thanks. I thought you were saying that some lenses could produce slightly garish colours right across the spectrum, which I think would be impossible for a passive device such as a lens. I can certainly understand that the glass could affect the colour balance.

Bokeh has 2 syllables not 3. Bo- kah

@DustinAbbottTWI 3 ай бұрын

First of all, I pronounce it bow-keh (two syllables), and that is actually the closest to the original Japanese pronunciation (the language from which the word comes).
