I love TTartisan lenses and while I have loads of ‘pro’ glass, I always use the 35mm 1.4 on my aps-c bodies (I have 2 of the 35s, one for ef-m and other for Fuji). To me this is what we need to persuade the current generation to get into; embrace manual focus, funky flares and imperfections - that’s where creativity grows. It encourages you to slow down and think more actively, instead of engaging burst mode, af tracking and assuming a zombie-like state. That has to stop for all our sakes.

While I agree that imperfections are good and everyone should try and learn how to use manual focus, I disagree with af being in a zombiemode. You still habe to think about lots of things like composition, placing yourself in the right spot, what do you want to be your main subject, what should be in the background so on and so forth. Just bc focus happens to be automatic doesnt mean its bad

I’ve seen absolute morons doing burst AF on static buildings - god knows what the shutter count is on their cameras. That kind of thing doesn’t fill me with any hope for this generation - they are wholly reliant on the camera doing all the work, void of situational awareness. Then you ask where does the creativity come, the imagination, problem solving. That for me all develops through the process and shooting manual is a big part of that.

yep ive compared it with various adapted options and it always seems to be the best, its also really easy to focus - i have a 40mm 1.4 Voigtlander for leica mount (a lens I love on FF) and IQ is pretty much identical, the TT 35mm 1.4 has more vignetting but less CA fringing wide open. The TT is much easier to focus too, than the tiny tab on the voigt. I think you lose the charm of the Helios on Aps-c because of the smaller image circle, all the magic happens in the wider areas of the glass and that's only picked up on full frame - it might work well with a focal reducer though.@@NeuralNarratives2023

I have this lens. It’s insane. It’s returned to me a joy of photography.

For canon I converted an 55mm FL 1.2 …. Had problems nailing focus at first. Added the autofocus confirm chip and it changed the experience. Run the aperture to 2.8… roll the focus until it beeps/flashes… roll the aperture wide open and bang perfect focus almost every time. Not great for sports and action… but worked great even without a tripod.

It has been on my radar now that I have put my Sony ZV-E10 mini rig together. So far I own just the kit lens and the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 and looking for my first prime lens. I have been in front of the camera for 2 documentaries about my terminal disease of MSA, but my wish is to film more on my own for the final chapter. I've been watching your channel so often now that I added it to my own KZread channel, for others to watch. Thank you from Austin Crawford.

Just found this. Thank you for a great review. My copy is on its way! You clearly stated here what I have suspected in one sense - that most reviewers who complain about this lens sharpness actually have no idea about the DOF this lens has and how that messes with your attempts to focus!

This is really cool. I totally get the whole vintage thing as my 50mm that I use regularly is an old Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AIS on a Canon R6. It’s cool to see a ‘Modern Vintage’ lens.

Whilst I agree with the assessment of this lens performance wide open, do not let that performance alone influence whether or not you should get one. This is more than a one trick pony. Stopped down my copy of this lens performs very well indeed. Indeed I bought my copy based on reviews of its stopped down performance as I really had no interest in wide open bokeh shots before owning it. What I like about it is also it has very good handling characteristics and balances very well on the X-T1,2, 3 etc bodies. I spent a few quid and attached a standard lens hood and 58mm pinch on cap to shield from flare and to protect the front element. That 0.95 aperture makes focusing very easy at normal rather than close up distances for more general subjects and I then swiftly stop down to my desired aperture. I find it a trifle soft wide open, but that makes it ideal for flattering portraits and I find myself using this aperture far more than I ever imagined I would as a consequence. For me the extra cost of the lens compared to some cheaper f1.4/1.7 or 2 alternatives is well worth it due to its all round performance and handling, and it is superior to any 35mm adapted lens you care to find other than high quality (and very expensive) rangefinder ones regarding IQ. To get anything better you have to go the extra mile and buy one of the AF offerings from various manufacturers, but then you will lose that 0.95 aperture. TTartisans have been producing some very nice lenses of which I have a number but not all. I am also very impressed by their recent 25mm and 50mm f2 lenses which are an ideal duo for a compact travel set, as is their 27mm f2.8 AF lens as a nice walk about companion

It’s almost like lenses like this are a strange paint color or very specific and different brush. Or like a spice in a dish that can’t be ignored. Maybe like cardamom. Yes it can go with savory or sweet. It can be enjoyed immensely but not by all. The flavor is strong and very identifiably different. But if you bite down on the pod it’s overwhelming for most. It can ruin your mouthful of delicious food. It’s pretty versatile but it’s inescapably specific. For its applications it really energizes a dish, when you don’t want it though it’s powerful enough to really make the whole thing miss the mark. All that to say I love biting and chewing the pod, and I want this lens!

If you REALLY are looking for awesome bokah, you need a Petzval or a Soviet era Helios 44-2 58mm.

And with that platform they've got outstanding "Focus Peeking" for us manual lens shooters, and it's surprisingly accurate. Other cameras might call it something else... but it puts a red outline around whatever is showing sharpness. If you are a portrait shooter, you can nail the eye pretty good with that. I have many vintage manual lenses... Meyer Optik Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm is my third favorite if you want dreamy backgrounds.

I prefer the 44M series over the 43-2, but have a few different versions. The M lenses have much better build and a bit more contrast, just enough in my mind. Vintage lenses are really great.

Interesting lens. Not an expensive lens but still a prime lens. Close-up shots can be hard to focus and get sharp results. With digital images at least you can take the shot multiple times when possible and keep just the good ones. When taking still shots with a tripod you can stop down for sharper imagers instead of using the maximum .95 aperture.

I love TTartisan. This lens is silly but wonderful. This is true for a lot of their lenses. And the only one I don't like is the 17mm. In an age of chasing perfection, there's nothing wrong with some optical flaws.

I think this is a common misconception of how crop lenses, and sensors, work. The first thing I should point out is, I was talking about the style of bokeh, not the amount. The second thing is that f0.95 on full frame is the same as it is on a crop sensor. Same blur, same light gathering, what does change is the field of view, which can change the amount bokeh, if you use the extra field of view to get closer to your subject.

@@markwiemels No misconception. Equivalency exists. If you take this lens on your crop body and a 50mm f/1.4 lens on a full frame camera and frame the shot identically they will have the same lens of subject separation and blur. Use a f/0.95 full frame lens and compose the images identically and you would have considerably more separation and background blur than the image shot on the crop sensor. If the composition remains the same, i.e. the full frame shooter need to be close to the subject the equality the field of view, the subject separation is dramatically different. These lenses along with the Mikaton and 7Artisan f/0.95 lenses are excellent options for crop shooters so I’m not dissing the lenses. I own the 7Artisan 35mm f/0.95 for my X-Pro3…. but you talk about the level of subject separation when focusing on objects further away, and the reality is that if the fov remains the same between full frame and crop sensors, f/0.95 on APSC will provide identical results to f/1.4 on FF. Jonas Rask (professional photographer and Fujifilm Ambassador) explains it this way in his review of the 7Artisan 35mm f/0.95): “Now, the f/0.95 on the APS-C will give you a depth of field close to that of an f/1.4 lens on a 35mm full frame camera. So handling this lens will not be any harder in terms of nailing focus than using said 1.4 lens. But it does have a huge advantage over the f/1.4 lenses… It will collect light as a 0.95 lens. So it will really suck in the available light. - This means that you can use higher shutter speeds (one stop), or reduce ISO (one stop) to achieve the same exposure as you would with the f/1.4 mounted on a full frame camera when shooting both wide open. You will end up with the same exposure as the full frame when you take its added ISO benefits into consideration. So for all intended purposes you’re getting the exact theoretical parameters as a 50mm f/1.4 on a full frame.” jonasraskphotography.com/2020/11/15/the-7artisans-35mm-f0-95-review/

Yes, this is how it works, that's what I was saying in my comment. This is really about filed of view, and distance from subject, which does effect the background blur. f0.95 is "more blurry" than f1.4, if your goal is maximum subject separation and you are not trying to match the composition with a full frame f1.4. So for sure, in many practical situation this "equivalency" is the case, but it's not quite as simple as f0.95 = f1.4, as is often stated, that's all I was trying to point out. I don't think there is any argument here, just diffrent wording.

Laowa 33mm f0.95 is the sharpest one I have ever tested. P

It’s a good one, a fair bit more price than this one.

What mythical is with that f/0.95? Why not f/1.0? The difference is one sixth of an f-stop.

Do you mean all the companies suddenly making f0.95 lenses? If so, I think it’s really just marketing. Like $0.95 is suppose to seem so much cheaper than $1.00. Technically, I don’t think there is any real reason.

Looks like Helios

I think I’ll stick to my Carl Zeiss Pentagon 50mm or the Takumar 50 f1.4mm or even the Zeiss Jenna MC 35f 2.8. Why? They are all built like tanks may not have the modern optical quality of the 7 artisans. But attached to the right camera and photographer are far better than the 7artisans versions.

I have used some of those lenses as well, and am a big fan. I think it’s inaccurate to say those vintage lenses are far better than these modern f0.95 lenses. I have plenty of both kinds, and I thinks it’s more about what you are trying to achieve and what look you’re going for.

I have the seven artisans 35 f1.2 and I still prefer the vintage lenses.. There is something beautiful about the not so perfect images that I like… One of the modern lenses that does a good job is the Voiglander Ultron 1.7 expensive I know…. or the Leica 50mm f2 the colour redition and images coming out of that are awesome..
