Instead of buying one expensive lens, I prefer buying several manual budget lens to play with, and i always check your review first, thanks for making these videos 😌

It’s a fun little lens. I Use it frequently as a street/walk around lens on my M50. No complaints here. The price is right and I like it’s character. Sharpness isn’t everything. Nice review, thanks

My camera is a Sony a7rii but still enjoy watching your videos even if they are for APSC. I was watching you when I first got the Sony a6500 before I went into full-frame, and never broke the habit. Been having fun with my new travel lens, the Tamron 28-200mm. Keep up the great videos and God bless!

Thanks for the reviews. They are always appreciated. If you you find value in it, a review of a Pentax 135mm f/2.8 on your crop sensor would be very nice. Have a good weekend!

have been watching your videos from over the past few years. your wonderful son has really grown a lot. 😍. i still remember your video reviews ( i think it was for a6400) where your wife was still carrying him around in her arms 🤗nice review btw and keep more videos coming. a special request for your next video: any new gimbal, preferable the size of zhiyun m2 but stronger for vlogging available? thanks.

I've previously looked at Sigma 16mm and 7Artisans 12mm but now I'm definitely eyeing on this lens!

"DJ Optical dropping another hit"-- HAHA I love that. The joke, not the imprint.

I have been using the TT 35 1.4 and 50 1.2 and really enjoying them paired with my X-Pro3 the images are great... I have been thinking about picking this one up also...

I follow you for a very long time, and i love the videos, photos, and all effort you put into videos! Gonna leave a small positive critique, when testing new lenses, try to not overexpose, it will washout colors a lot, its always better to shoot half a stop underexposed, and recover a bit of shadows in lightroom, rather then overexpose and have it all white (sky / water / puddles/ backrounds(even skin looks faint)). Really would like to see that lens performing a bit in Underexposed setting (.5 to 2stops). Keep the good reviews!

very fast review, i love it. ty, i already bought one but i came to check your opinion. love you channel.

Paying the extra $200+ dollars for the Sigma is more than worth it imo. This lens is legendary already.

Thank you very much. How about the performance on low light?

Thanks for the review. How about using it for milky way? I am thinking about the nikon z version although I will prefer black while only silver is currently available.

Hi, super noob question here. Since this lens uses a screw on type lens cap, will a typical pinch snap on lens cap work on this lens?

Hi, I currently have a Pen-F and Sigma 30mm 1,4 and am very happy but unfortunately too big. I am interested in a bright compact lens mainly for street photography and I am undecided between the two TTartisan lenses 23mm 1,4 (plus compactness) and the 17mm (plus focal but less compact) what do you recommend? I would have doubts about their sharpness, to be picky, the potential that the two lenses have in post-production both with open and closed aperture.

compared with sony 16mm wich one its worse? thanks

I was looking at your Sigma 16mm review and got sad because it's not available for Fuji X... So I am thinking about this lens now.

can't you do a comparison of the Tamron 17-70 vs sony 16-55 G lenses I will appreciate

is it worth it or just save up extra and get the 16mm f1.4 instead of trying to save money?

Is the infinite focus accurate as 7artisans 7.5?

Ive bought his lens and it makes me more to appreciate photography

What would this lens be like for streaming

Please review 7 Artisans 75mm f/1.25

That's a very good question. I want to know it too.

I bought this lens (awaiting delivery) for one reason.... I want one non-focus by wire lens with a comprehensive set of DOF marks for zone focusing to use for street photography. I shoot Fujifilm and have the outstanding XF 16MM f/1.4 as well as the more petite f/2.8, but those lenses will "drift" off of the distance that I set for zone focused grab shots while walking around, and you won't see that since they have no external distance info. I'll be using the 17mm at at least f/8 and i already bought a wide-angle hood for it to cut down some flare, so this should fill the square that I bought it for.

@@GamachePhoto unfortunately to lens hood that I pre-bought from Amazon based on it being the correct 40.5mm thread and labeled as a wide angle hood did not work out. It was from FOTASY but the hood being a screw in type was just an angled cone, rather than the usual petaled hood for wide angles. It cut off the corners with severe vignetting. Had to remove it.

Thank you for the review! I use a Samyang 18mm 2.8 on a a5100 + camlink as my daily-basis streaming cam. This sounds like a nice replacement that would let me save the Samyang for better uses.

TTArtisans 35mm 1.4 or Kamlan 28mm 1.4. The first is cheaper, the second is better optically.

Another important difference is the smaller size of the TTartisans. Very nice and small.

How much is it ?

First I was skeptical but I decided to order one myself. 0-regrets! The image quality is stunning and for me its all about the usability of the camera setup. The Sigma is better in every aspect besides the form factor which is crucial for travel photography. I can take this lens everywhere on my A6000. I took it to Nashville, Lake Superior and Chicago. Thats what makes this lens so good. One of the best everyday lenses for ASPC.
