I recently got the TTartisan 35/.95 and been very impressed by it. This looks like a contender in many aspects, but has a bit more creamy bokeh and I'm a fan of more vintage style surrealistic busy bokeh so the TTartisan wins in my book! For other people this would be the better option and I'm very glad that kind of accidentally there's options for both camps in this regard, doesn't happen too often :)
Nice! This one reminds me of my 7artisans 35mm 0.95 but the BrightinStar seems a bit sharper wide open! Check out the Laowa Venus Argus 33mm 0.95 and the 23mm, they have both. Silly sharp good looking lenses but MASSIVE
Clicked aperture ring 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I have the 7artisans equivalent and it’s great - other than declicked aperture ring. (Obviously “great” in the context of this kind of lens 😅). This looks VERY similar construction. Nice review - thanks.
nice review. I want to see how it performs on a full frame camera like say canon R5 or Sony A7 IV? I know its an APS-C mount lens but I see they have it available for Full frame as well.
I've been looking into buying my first prime lens and it's now between the Brightin star 35mm 0.95 and the 7artisans 35mm 1.2. I'd appreciate your help choosing since you have tried both
Have you tested this lens against other glass to get an idea of the T-Stop? My simple test puts this lens around an f/1.3 wide open using EXIF data from my 35mm 1.8.
Would be very useful for the viewer if you mentioned that is APS-C , or the mount, in your title and at the beginning of the video. Maybe not that useful for yoyr followers but the añgorithm brought me here but couldn't figure out if it was Full frame or not. Otherwise great video
That is true but honestly after editing and maybe not caring too much about the fringing, it really does look amazing. If you have a well thought out composition, man sharpness wont matter
Could you also review their 35mm f/1.7 against 7 and tt artisan offerings. I am on the lookout for the most compact, cheap and fastest lens for fuji systems. I like the ttartisan 27mm f/2.8 but i might get fujinon if i find it used. Also thinking of 7art 35mm 1.2 ii if its the best one to get on a sale or used I like this 0.95 lens and its pretty compact but not enough for EDC
TTArtisans, 7artisans, Mitakon, BrightinStar, Laowa Venus Argus, Voigtlander. There's several actually. He even mentions a few. I've tried all on X-mount except the Voigtlander because it's not out yet lol
There have been enough to compare this and determine it’s very good considering its ultrafast maximum aperture. First of all, I don’t know if you’re talking about the fx or dx Nikon 35mm f/1.8. I’m assuming since we’re talking about APSC, you mean the dx version. Even so, it’s apples and oranges. Even with a f/1.4 vs f/1.8 one would expect potentially different IQ levels wide open. Since f/0.95 is a stop and a third faster than f/1.8, manual focus instead of autofocus and Nikon DSLR vs Fuji mirrorless, it’s even more of an entirely different thing. Not sure what your point is tbh
