Thank you for taking the time to watch the footage. Higashikurume, Minamisawahikawa Shrine, Tokyo.

But certainly good enough for 7S3.

doesnt have to be super sharp to look good imo. That flaring can be obnoxious though

I had to go find a comparison between the Leica and the Mitakon. The Leica is better for sure, but not by THAT much. At f/0.95, the centre of both lenses look nearly identical, but the Leica's corners are slightly better. Same for the contrast, Leica has a bit better contrast. When stopping down, the Leica's corners stay well ahead. At f/1.4, the Leica is better than the Mitakon in all aspects, really. But corners aside, the IQ difference isn't that big if you remember the price difference. From f/4 onwards, the difference between both lenses becomes more negligible. The major comparison to be made, in my book, is shooting them wide open - there is no reason to buy either lens is you aren't shooting them wide open most of the time. A more interesting, and likely more drastic comparison, would be between the Mitakon, the Leica and the Nikon. I suspect that the Nikon would absolutely trounce both the Mitakon and the Leica. Don't know why I was commenting that. Just found it interesting. The price point matters for sure. But for the money, I would buy the Mitakon before the Leica, and if I was financially at ease but had to think hard about how to spend my money, I think that the Nikon might be worth the expenditure, but not the Leica. Since we were talking about 35mm lenses, similarly, I thought that the Sony 35mm GM was worth the upgrade over my old Sigma ART 35mm, and even over the newer Sigma 35mm f/1.2. Those f/0.95mm lenses have beautiful renderings, but the GM series is just more practical and optically clean.

I shot a feature film using primarily the Mitakon Speedmaste f/0.95 and it worked beautifully. That lens is incredibly underrated. This Laowa looks like an awesome addition to a set of super fast, character driven, budget friendly FF lenses.

@@witchingseasonfilms Yes, for video it would be a really interesting lens to have, for sure! Lovely mood.

Hi pg. I'm using the most amazing tool to create my custom-made LUTs which is fylm.ai/. (Still in beta but you can ask for access to it). Thank you Johnnie

He said 72mm at the start of the video.

Thank you B RAW MEDIA for taking the time to watch the video review! Johnnie

The 33mm is APS-C and the 35mm full frame, so that would likely make your decision

@@TTWGD3regardless there will be crop right? So both lenses will act at around a 40-50mm?
