I picked this lens up about a week ago after I got my first Fuji camera. I wanted to pick up a small lens for street photography and I love it. The only thing I can see people might have a problem with it is the lens flare at 1.7 but for me it actually gives a vintage look in certain situations.

@gillyb44 Күн бұрын

I have the 7artisans 25mm F1.8 incredibly sharp. Renders lovely colours. Close up photos are so good given the right light.

@johnbecich9540 22 күн бұрын

How is it for "sun stars"? How many aperture blades? I can't find the specs on the Pergear website. My TTArtisans has 8 blades and produces good sun stars... i.e., night photographs in which street lights become decorative.

@Jarrych83 20 күн бұрын

The style of this one is interesting. Looks very fun. I'm on mft, so the 2x crop is obviously a double edged sword, but I have the 50mm TT Artisan lens and it's amazing. I also have the Meike 25mm 1.8 lens. I wish the ring damping was a little stiffer, but it's a phenomenally fun lens to use and actually has a bit of its own color profile, but I'd also recommend the TT artisan 25mm f2 for most of the reasons you mention. This looks like a lot of fun though and finally looks like a pergear that'd be a very serious consideration for the balance of pros and cons.

@marksieving7925 3 күн бұрын

The Canon Rebel T7 is a DSLR, with a mirror directing the image to the optical viewfinder. All these lenses are for mirrorless cameras and will not work with DSLRs. I'm not very familiar with the range of lenses in Canon EF or EF-S mount, but none of the Chinese brands have anything in this focal length range for DSLRs. Your best bet is probably the Canon EF-S 24mm F/2.8 STM, which you can get used for around $100.

When a lens makes images or video look like film.....please explain. I've shot tens of thousands of images on color and black&white film. What I know what film images look like, grain, color tint/hew and all that stuff. What does this lens do to give us a real grain look and color?

@markwiemels 27 күн бұрын

Film has greater dynamic range, and generally less contrast that digital. Whites are rarely true white and black almost never true black. This lens gives you a bit of that look, similar to the way diffusion filters are used in Hollywood to give a more organic film look. It can also skew a bit warm at times, similar to film used in the right environment, but the cameras Auto white-balance will often trys to fix this. Obviously a lens can not give you grain.

They were Sigma Art lenses for apsc bodies, they did 3 in the set if want to call in that, a 19mm, 30mm and a 60mm ( 28.5, 45 and 90mm equivalent FF) the sharpness quality was amazing even wide open, you could see the great details in individual eye brow hairs etc.... All took 46mm screw on filters, and were small and compact. Retail price was £119.99. I have the 30mm and 60mm, shame I never had the 19mm.

@@gaoldias I think having it on a M43 is just like cropping the image. Only flare that would be on the complete edge of a picture on an APS-C image would disappear on an M43 lens. So I wouldn't expect a real noteworthy difference. The TTartisan 25mm f2 has a tiny bit more control over the aperture in the low end (stops at 2, 2.5 and 2.8) and that might let you control the flare a little bit more. Not sure. Mark reviewed that one too, so if Flare is of concern it might be worth checking that review too.

Why does this remind me of an old SLR Lens through home made lens adaptors? I find this good, and the others trashy. The scene with the red car and the bright graffiti, I didn't get a proper look at, but probably says all. It should the bright graffiti colours crisp contrast, but the less colourful car, less contrast. In too many cameras, in video, it's all mind numbingly crisp. This lens I could love, but I really need multi focal like this as well, and different ones from faster. You might try this on different camera models and get ready d of the flare. What the engineer at silicon imaging, noted, is that sensor design produces strong problems at below 1.7 due to the chip structures and angle of light. Maybe this is related. Sony, out a lot of marketing on microlensing on phones, to allow more light gathering over wider angles. I don't know what they used on larger formats, as I imagine there might be some down sides to this wide angle. But, then again, maybe they reserve things for certain models. But, I have old pocket still and hybrid cameras with an image that is a bit like this. Small lens are supposed to be easier to engineer for precision, or something. There are two excellent lens types, and I can't remember the names of them. One is a modern hybrid take maybe several years ago, however, the other is one of the three basic types, upgraded for quality, as big as a lens cap, which gives a reverse image. One of the little lens shops in Japan were doing them. That lens is good to check out. Actually m4/3rds website had articles on both, with the other hybrid 7-8 years ago. Lots of articles but search function should turn up what's unusual. Now, as bonkers as it sounds I had a little sub 3 inch phone with a 5mp sensor that when I adjusted the camera settings gave a surprising image levels. However, it was stolen before I looked into it properly. 'Everything is rubbish on the low end' but you do find some exceptions.

You photographers are so ridiculously obsessed with perfection it's insane how clinical and sterile most photography is as a result. Filmmakers use anamorphic and it's clearly flawed and that's the point. It's why models dont get jobs as actors in most cases. They're boring as f.

lol. This is a bit harsh, but funny none the less.
