I love your review of the Fuji X-T3 - going back and forth trying to figure out what kind of kit to stick with for video production.

Hi, i like your reviews and video asthetics. Loved your Epson camera review. I would also love to see you test more 7artisans lenses.

I look forward to watching your channel grow.

Hey what camera strap are you rockin in this video? I am looking for something just like that for my camera.

@xiaoxinghan2802 6 лет назад

Original comment from @TomVogt: Been waiting for this exact video, thank you! I think this lens will fill in a great space in the market: entry level alternative to the 35 cron. There are options now, but they all miss the mark. Voigtlander 2.5 is slower, 1.4 is soft with focus shift. the zeiss f2.8 is slower and the f2 is huge, and both lack a tab focus. The 40mm cron and rokkor are, well 40mm. The canon LTM lenses are vintage, and require an ebay purchase. The old summarons are slower, and also vintage. Even beat-up, 30 year old summicrons are nearly 2k. As you can probably tell, the lack of a good, cheap, M-mount 35 f2 has been annoying me 😬. But, hopefully this will be a solution.

@vinegarhillny 6 лет назад

I actually prefer the Zeiss f/2 over the 35mm Summilux I used to own. Sure, the Lux had less viewfinder blockage but I found the focus and aperture rings too close together and I wasn't crazy about the tab on the focus ring. It would have been nice if this 7Artisans lens had been around when I was buying my Leica gear but I'm happy with the Zeiss.

@barthonhoff5547 5 лет назад

Don’t niglect the Voigtländer 35mm 1.7. I own the 1st generation and I was suprised to compare the results with my Summilux 1.4 1st gen. Definitily better! And yes it does appear in your viewfinder, but what the heck, using a Leica you should be used to that!

@hw7504 6 лет назад

Nice overview! Been super curious about 7Artisans and the character they bring to the table. Unrelated note, what brand/cap/hat is that your model is wearing at 4:28?

@Vingt100yip 6 лет назад

Hi Casey, I noticed you also reviewed the Minolta Rokkor 40/2. How would say it compare to the 7artisans 35/2?

@GxAce 6 лет назад

I think it is sharper than the 40mm, but the bokeh on the 40mm is a little different.

@adamg.manning6088 6 лет назад

Hi mate. Great video. I really liked your 50mm video too. Can I ask, does your aperture ring flex ever-so-slightly at the 2 mark? Mine has a tiny bit of flex at that end but not at the 16 end. I don't think it's anything that will cause problems but I was just hoping for some other people's experience. Cheers. Keep up the great videos, I also followed you on Instagram!

@GxAce 6 лет назад

Adam G. Manning mine does not have any flex :/. Thanks for the follow and the kind words!

@Raychristofer 6 лет назад

Hello, great video, Linda's are one of my favorite things to review. One thing that turns me off about rangefinders is you can't see what the lens is doing as you're composing, for example those flares that you got, when I'm using my mirrorless camera I usually look for things like that before pressing the shutter although sometimes I'm looking for a flare for artistic reasons.Does that aspect of rangefinders ever turn you off?

@GxAce 6 лет назад

Raychristofer I enjoy rangefinders over SLR film cameras because I love that the viewfinder is on the far left of the camera body because I can brace the camera on the bridge of my nose to help keep it steady. I also like that it’s much easier to tell if something is in focus with a rangefinder. I however often use the EVF on my Xpro 2 and don’t use the optical viewfinder often. I’d probably use it more it it was an actual rangefinder

@jyangphotoatx 3 года назад

Do you think this lens will work with M3 with a external finder?

@GxAce 3 года назад

@cloneroom 6 лет назад

Looks like a fantastic lens, Old mixed with some NEW. What price are we looking at? any ideas

@GxAce 6 лет назад

I’m assuming the price will be around $200-300. Their previous lens, the 50mm 1.1 was $400, so this has to be cheaper.

@cloneroom 6 лет назад

@TheAlexstam7 6 лет назад

I am a fuji user and i was looking to this lens or the 7artisans 35mm f1.2 .. after your review i assume that this lens must be sharper than the f1.2

@GxAce 3 года назад

Mine was calibrated correctly out of the box, but I've heard other people had to calibrate it. Its pretty easy to do though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Its just loosening two screws and rotating a ring slightly and then tightening the screws again.

@zguy95135 6 лет назад

I wonder how much this will be when it comes out, looking for a f2 35mm mount has been pretty discouraging. Although the barrel distortion and flaring is kind of a turn off

@CreativeLeadershipwithDaniel 5 лет назад

is it possible to calibrate the focus with an Xpro2. I have heard it could come with a little offset of the focus and that is the only thing that has kept me from getting it for my M6.

@marcp.1752 6 лет назад

I do hope so. Some lenses aren't, especially very wide angle lenses, because of the relative thick OLPF Stack

@BillNessworthyPhotography 6 лет назад

LTM is the old screw mount - this lens is Leica M. You want a LM-NEX adapter

@GxAce 6 лет назад

Technically an LTM mount would be more versatile since you could use it on old LTM rangefinders and still adapt it to M-Mount and so on.

@marcp.1752 6 лет назад

I do know all of this for decades, and have a decent LTM to eMount adapter, thanks

Aren't Fuji lenses basically like this 7artisans/voightlander lenses but with good flare resistance. The lack of flare resistance is the #1 reason I'm not getting this. I feel like others will agree with me.
