7Artisans 35mm f/1.2 II Lens Review | My take on this budget 35mm lens, with image samples.

Camera's, lenses and guitars. Great life!

Great video! Thank you! I have been considering this lens for my x-e3.

Such a solid content! Like your style and I'm happy to share :) Wishing you more subs!

thanks friend you completely solved my problem with the choice!!!

I own this lens; and I love the build quality. It's such a great lens to use-one of my favorites! That being said, it has that "glow" and softness until f/4. F4? Right it's sharp at f/4-8. I tested it against the 7Artisans 25mm f/18, which was sharp from 1.8. The build quality is good, but the 35mm is tremendosly better. So, I use this lens when I want to have fun, but the 25mm was more useful.

What would u pick ? The TTARTISAN 35mm 1.4 or this 7artisans 35mm 1.2 mark 2?

First time on your channel. Thanks :)

wonderful sg "diavoletto" on background 🙂

Craig, I think you're underselling the abilities of this lens. I've owned this particular lens in both versions and I actively use it for both street photography and professional shoots. It's based on an older lens design with modern abilities and is not meant to be a super sharp lens. For the average shooter, it's more than sharp enough. Where I've found it most useful for professional work is in portraiture. Mind you, the TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 is a better lens for that when compared to the 7Artisans 35mm f1.2. I'd say this is a better lens on the street than the Fujifilm XF 25mm f2 if manual focus is your thing and you want to replicate the film shooting experience. Who needs autofocus and weather sealing anyway.🤣🤣🤣

It's a good lens, I use it for my street photography shots

I've tried using the older version of this lens and I have to say that the "quality" (more like the feel) of the images at F1.2 is waaay better on this one. Really enjoyed this review, Craig! Also, just wanted to ask, what was the background music you used when you were showing your photo samples? 😅 Cheers!

Why they call it photoelectric, is the exif data read by the camera, regard the f stop and the sposure?

I think the TTartisan 35mm is still one of the best

Is it same as mark I?

why cant they jus add a click aperture to their first version n call it a day! overthinking wen they didnt need to

Less taking more pics next time.
