I watch a lot of photography channels but this is simple, quick and clear

Nice overview, Arthur! Great info and presentation 🙌

Comparing this lens with the Sony F/1.8 Full Frame lens? I like the cricket sound when you press the shutter button while listening to the Stepping Motor. Winter has finally come down into our area. Stay Warm! Cheers!

If I didn't already have the Sigma 30mm, I'd have seriously considered this lens. But, I am a hobby photographer, so live with less than spectacular lenses mostly, budget constraints, nothing else! Brilliant video, as usual, Arthur - a great selection of content to enjoy, the brilliant red van really popped!

@@deniellesam For being a 30mm and not 35mm lens, the Sigma is more flexible IMO. I have also the Sony 35mm and I really stoped using it. The colors on Sigma are beautiful, seems to have a little warmer tone. Also, the 1.4 aperture will make your work easier in case you’re shooting in low light situations.

The best thing about these Chinese lenses is that they fill a huge hole in the market. Close enough quality at a fraction of the cost. For beginners and lower end bodies they are perfect.

surprisingly sharp for ttartisan

Can you make a video for the meike AF 50mm f1.8 full frame lens?

Pls can you make a lens review for 7artisans 50mm f1.8 AF

Nice trip nice family. If the Sigma did not exist, this might be a great option

Hello sir, you said in the video that "new sigmas were coming", do you know if there's a new wide lens coming ? i was about buying a 16mm F/1.4 for my APSC 🫠 Ty for the vid again

It honestly doesn’t seem that bad. This plus any A6000 series camera would still produce very decent results, specially for beginners.

What I need is a cheap, lite, good performing(autofocus and image quality) 35mm either 1.8 or 1.4 full frame lens on the Sony platform for less than $500.

Nice thing about using the E mount is that I can use the Sony and Third Party lenses with two different adapters for the Nikon Z. Save money all the way around by buying one lens and use it on two different Camera systems. TTArtisans USB C firmware Update may correct certain problems in the future. At least they are giving firmware updates, now if Sony would do the same. Cheers!

@randallbrander8157

@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu The newer versions of the adapters are faster in autofocusing. Nothing will be the original lens of the camera manufacturer but there are some third party lenses that are cheaper and perform better at f/1.4 to .095 aperture. Like I wrote previously it is another option to save money if you have the sony lenses already and do not have to pay more money for the same equivalent features. Example the APSC lenses from Sigma 16mm, 23mm, 30mm and 56mm f/1.4 are now made for Nikon. It is your decision to either buy the new lenses for the Z mount or just buy an adapter and use the ones you already have. Some people just sell their old lenses and then buy the new ones for the camera system they have now. Personally I keep what I have and if a better camera comes out then you have the lenses to fall back on to use. Cheers!

@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu autofocus feels the same as native nikon lens its crazy. I'm using a zf so itll probably be a different experience with a z6 or z7. I'm sure it works better with a z8 and a z9.

i wonder how the image quality compare to sony 35mm f1.8 oss

yet, no good pancake ~30 lens to go against fuji x100. Dont know why the lack of options on that

Happy to have bought a sony 35mm oss 1.8 used for 190€

Why can I find this lens for a Sony E Mount only on Ebay? None of the major internet sellers (B&H, KEH,etc) only carry it for Fuji.

I have three Sony APSC cameras and can always use another one. I own the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (56mm Is My favorite Sigma lens) and the Full Frame 35mm f/1.8. It is cheaper than the Sigma 30mm but for $150 and use it for vacations and trips it seems to be the right lens I am looking for. Is it smaller than the Sigma in length? I may have to eat my words because I am in the middle of your video. If you gave the info from this video I will delete the comment. Great Videos as always and I am wondering if it is one Troll that you have or a whole bunch of them. Different User names. Cheers!

Nice job

Thanks!

You mentioned the 27mm (?) focus noise. After the lens update I saw a marked improvement. Not Sony native or Sigma level but a definite improvement. So I have to ask, did you update either of these lenses to the most recent version? Just wondering. Have a good one. Always enjoy your lens reviews. SATX

Strange. I have a Fuji version of the TTartisans 27mm. It's a hell of a lot quieter (and faster) than Fuji's own offering in terms of AF.

My concern with the TTartisan "27mm f2.8" for Nikon Z, it loses video focus in and out and, slightly, auto focus breathes even under proper lighting while in AF using Eye and face Focus. So if this 35mm exhibits the same behavior, then this lens is not for me.

My Sony e 35 1.8 is damage..firstly it make weird sounds and close back aperture Blade,camera can't read the aperture ..and now it Not funtion at all...can this problem fix..

If the autofocus struggles this much, I'd as soon stick with my old manual Neewer 35mm f1.7 for half the price (purchased, without regret, after your review, btw). : )

@Vendetta725

Yes, TTartisan's AF drifts in and out, slightly, under even proper lighting while Eye and Face Focus are enabled. Perhaps it's just a bug which can be addressed by a Firmware Update?

do you plan on testing the AF 27mm F2.8 from 7artisan (not TTartisan)

we always need more 35mm lenses. Espeically this cheap. The only problem is, for x mount at least, is you already have the 35mm xc f2 which is unbelievably good. Just waiting for them to drop an ultrawide and a fast 50.

Agreed about for X mount. Biggest disappointment is the lack of aperture ring. They managed to do it with the 27mm. Also the minimum focus distance is a bit stingy. I would choose the XC over this.

@ionrage

@@richardhale9664 the issue with the XC is, its more expensive and not much better and slightly darker. What a lot of videos don't tell you is, a number of retailers actually put this lens on a sale, I picked mine up for £102 from £130 with delivery and the XC is like £160-£170 at best, the XC is not worth it and has a plastic lens mount, I could deal with it if it had a metal lens mount at least but plastic on metal means the plastic will scrape over time against the lens mount never mind deformation. The TTa lens is metal lens mount, so the question is, why is Fuji so stingy on this.

I’m struggling to picture the buyer on a budget who wants a just-OK standard prime lens. If they have the kit zoom, the $149 buys 3 aperture stops and sacrifices in firmware, focus, and maybe even optics. I think your $450 kit example could probably find excellent optics with the alternatives that could be found for $50-75 more, or get better value from a camera with the kit lens. I’m not sure this master of none makes sense in the middle of those two price points.

I get Meh vibes from you on this lens. I am however having fun with the TTartisan manual 10mm f2 I got for $160 on my a6700.

Those nails bro lol.

As usual, TTArtisan sucks when it comes to flaring. All of their lenses I've tried have that terrible flaring and many exhibit a lot of hazing too. I wish they invest on better coatings.

sorry but i see a lot of chromatic aberation... no way for my a6700...
