exactly what i did. I should update it to 2024.

I saw in some other comments on here,@@Iamtongue , that you no longer liked this lens....yet here I am loving those magic images in your video. Do you still rate this? I'm asking as I have borrowed a 7Artisans 50mm f/1.1 and have been really surprised and excited by it. I love what it does. I think I want to buy one.... ..but there is the issue: I haven't looked at any other similar options yet, and in searching some out, I have reached a stuck place and wound up here. Do you still rate this lens, or rate another better? What it this lens wasn't 1-million-dollars? If you could get it for 750k instead, or say 625k? Love your humour btw, always classic and high value videos. Keep it up!

I like this lens but at the price they were at I think it was around 599$ in 2020 it wasn't worth it. i thought there were better options like the 7 artisans 35mm f0.95 or the laowa 33mm f0.95.@@stu-ax

@@stu-ax I just bought one for $125 on eBay

@@tatelax that's an awesome deal. Has it arrived yet? How do you like it?

Good tip. Thank you

Your tip sounds very illegal yet logical 😂

That's what I do too.

I bet the mitakon is clutch cuz of the wide aperture in those scenarios! and thanks man! i appreciate the support!

hahah dawwe thank you Jose this is quite encouraging! i'll definitely do more!

It's not much but could be daunting to new photographers who are use to autofocusing. But it is a beautiful lens!! You scored a good deal 😧😀

*insert the hub theme song*

thank you! i try

You'll have a fun time with it I'm SURE 😳 or get the 7artisans same optics a few hundred bucks less.

Thanks so much my g! That mitakon is nice 😁

Thanks Ramon! We're gonna hit 1000 subs soon! Let's get it papi! ♥️💪

Hahaha get the cheaper one! From what I hear it's the same optics. Check out Jonas Rask review on it. It's on his blog

@@Iamtongue Thank you! I just checked out the review. Definitely looks like it’s worth it to grab the 7artisans and save a few buck$.

@@Iamtongue I'd love you to do a video comparing the two!

@@RobertVanderStelt will do! That's going to one that I release in the upcoming weeks 😉

Go for the 7arts... same result even better with slightly less flaring

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 😀

Thanks for the support 🥰🥰🥰 appreciate it man

What that's amazing!! Even at f0.95?!

@@Iamtongue I learned the know how long is the distance between the model and the lens and then adjust the aperture. So you almost always hit the focus. At 0.95 the distance has to be right. I hope it helps you.

How's the image quality of the f1.2 vs the XF 35mm f1.4???

@@Iamtongue I don't own the xf 35mm f1.4 sorry but the 7artisans 35mm has more quirks than the mitakon and isn't as sharp wide open. However, it only cost me £64 second hand (around $85) so for the money I'm not complaining :)

@@mudgie069 ahh that's a steal man! Can't complain about that 😅🤣

Thanks for watching bro!

That's a bold statement haha because the the f1.4 is a fan favorite 😮😮😮

thanks man. I would love to get the zeiss in my hands, but they're really hard to find atm. If i can find one for a good deal for sure i'll make a video on it!

… loser!

GOD I pray for a autofocusing toneh 0.95 in a few years I hope 😲😀😂

Yea I love this lens! Great character lens!!! I do need to practice more with it ... Thanks for watching

LOL tell me about it bro. That shit is depressing 😭😭😭 thanks for watching

thanks richard i appreciate your thoughts!

Glad you think so!

If I go the medium format again I'm looking into that mitakon 65mm f1.4 I don't see much reviews on it though...how's your experience with it?

@@Iamtongue it holds the CA better than 35mm 0.95. I'm really enjoying. Yeah not much reviews on it. Jonas made one like the 35mm.

Yes I do that. I don't think you realize how shallow and thin f0.95 is... Kinda hard to nail focus 😉

@@Iamtongue agree....and the focus check doesn't zoom in enough to be accurate. It really needs to be able to zoom 2x more than the camera allows.

Hey man, I don’t have it anymore. I reviewed about 3 f0.95 lenses on this channel so it kinda got redundant, but it’s a fun lens don’t get me wrong, I would’ve probably kept it if I didn’t review the other 2 f0.95 lenses. And you’ll probably get comfortable with it in less than a week.

Are you bored with the 50mm f2?

@@Iamtongue I see. Which would you recommend then? This one OR the 7-Artisans 35/0.95?

@@nathanielngosy the mitakon is the sharpest followed by the laowa Argus. Wide open… 7art is last.. but the best looking bokeh is laowa Argus.. and but if you want the best bang for your buck 7art still produce dreamy photos for less money.

@@Iamtongue Not bored really. It's just that I don't find any use for it now. But since local establishments are gradually re-opening in the city I'm living, I should give it another try BEFORE considering a 35/0.95 manual focus lense.

Still hard

I’m gonna be honest with you. I updated the title to keep this video relevant lol

the lens i was reviewing is for hte fujifilm x mount, however i do believe they make it for the sony E mount as well. You're going to have to do research on that as i don't shoot sony hahaha

LMFAOOO 😭😂

That's a shame

@@Iamtongue I was using a Zeiss Planar 50/ 1.4. It was unusable. Not sharp. It was good when you hit the spot but when loosing 50% of the images it is not worth it. The bad optical correction fools your eyes when focusing. I upgraded to the Zeiss Planar 50/2 and it has become much better. The CA on this lens throws halos on the edges that is bigger than the one of the holy spirt - no offence to relegious people here. The flares look like a swarm of jelly fish. Sorry it is worthless to me. It is an expensive paper weight for those who cannot shoot with it and I shoot manual only. My line up consists of 25/2, 35/2, 50/2 and 85/1.4 - all Zeiss now. I I have tried many manual focus lenses and I was always looking for lenses with a pleasing character and not the sharpest. The lenses need to perform with very little defects but this lens has a birth defect. Sorry. I am happy though that it works for you!

@@oliverlisonit has been working for me! the flares on the mitakon sucks I've moved on from the mitakon though. Been shooting with the 7artisans 35mm f0.95. where the price is half of the mitakon 😜 and flares is a bit better.

​@@Iamtongue I wondered how it worked for you if you basically got rid of it? Regarding to the 7artisan I would not touch it either. Beyond technical reasons, there are design elements and also political grounds why I cannot support those companies. - I find the perfomance weak wide open, especially for the doller you pay. The F0.95 is not really relevant as long as the story in the images is ok. No one ever asked what lens I have used. - If you compare the TT artisan, Mitakon and &7artisan all lenese are made in one and the same facorty. If you look closer on certain models then you will discover that many lenses are based on expired patents and designs. One of the lens brands goes all the way and fully impersonates so to speak a Leica lens. The same focussing tap, the same red dot on the mount alignment (to attach the lens to the body), and even the same engraved fronts and colours. I find this utterly disgusting. Zeiss and Cosina have both different designs. Those companies earn money on laurels they did not work for in the beginning. I am not Leica fan, I don;'t have the money for that. Yes, I have Zeiss lenses and I only buy showroom models + cashback rebates. - Then there are political issues with China: * China has copied and stolen IP for 40 years. They forced Tech transfers your parents worked for - I can sent some proof of that. * China benefits from the Universal Postal Union. That is why you pay no postage for shipments from China. * China has not opened up their market. Western companies need to have a CN partner which invites for IP theft. * China has not opened up to investigate Covid independently and they also have bought to much power in the WHO * China has not remose of dept trapping nations in Africa, South Pacifc or Latin America. * China's vaccin seems to be less effective than hoped and they are buying Pfizer for the elite wheras they are sending it around the globe. * China's propaganda in Italy while assisting there. When Covid broke out the EU shipped aid materials to China for free. When Covid broke out in the EU China sold the gear back to the EU and charged money. In Italy the Italians sung the Chinese Anthem. Would you go that far? No. * China has nuclear bombs and can fly to the moon. Why do they need any support from industrial nations? This is not a call for racism. I have been a foreigner for 20 years and I know what it feels like when a racist comment pops up. I just cannot accept it anymore that 80% of what we consume is of Chinese origin. What I also don't understand that people don't see that. People would rather steal ideas instead of being honest. Would you buy a fake Rolex would your drive around in a fake car? Probably not.
