@antontaranenko8824 Месяц назад

This lens is designed for the sensors/format, smaller than APS-C , they are sold in C mount, which is designed for 1.1" format... Therefore, when you saying that blurred edges and heavy vignette is design flaw, it is not correct.. You just simply going outside of the usable image circle of this lens ... Try to use it on 1" sensor camera like Nikon 1, or at least M4/3 , and all these flaws will be gone😉👍

@ezzellvfx2169 Месяц назад

The heavy field curvature is still very much present on M4/3. I own a few different c mount lenses that all exhibit similar traits and they blurred edges happen on all of them.

@antontaranenko8824 Месяц назад

@@ezzellvfx2169 That's also true, but usually bad compensation for the field curvature will give you a swirly bokeh throughout the frame (see Helios 40), that is one of the main signs... This one doesn't have pronounced swirly bokeh on the 1" or even M4/3 circle, meaning it was compensated for the field curvature. And swirls with strange bokeh balls, like a jellyfish, appearing close to the edges on APS-C, where all attributes of closing to dark dark edge of the image circle are presenting themselves, including vignette and loss of sharpness... I used thus kind of lens on the Nikon 1, and it works perfectly... Generally I think it is cheap CCTV design lens, and some cheap CCTV producing Chinese company just decided to use larger image circle of the lens for expanding the market beyond CCTV only...😉👍

You are the only youtuber that understood what budget means! What a cool little lens! :)

@beaverjacob_214 Месяц назад

More cheap lenses with "imperfections" please. That's exactly the type of look I've been hunting for in a lens. And at $33!? It's a steal for me personally

@thomastwigg3535 Месяц назад

I have that lens, and yes, it is surprisingly nice. I used it fairly close and low for a second angle in an interview and loved how it turned out. I was using it on an EOS M running Magic Lantern Crop Mood (2.5k RAW) which has a slight crop on it anyway and had no vignetting.

@johnbecich9540 Месяц назад

I have been hoping to buy a cheap lens, at about 35mm f/l, for my Sony a6400 (APS-C) camera... THAT I COULD TAKE APART. I want to flip the objective (front) lens element to enhance swirly bokeh. Is this lens glued together? Or is it capable of being taken apart?

@BogdanGrigore 16 дней назад

I love this artistic flare. Can you do a "Best flare effect" lens comparation?

@loboptlu Месяц назад

Its not a flaw , it was simply not designed for that ,and in surveillance it is more important to see wider even if it fishlenses ( yeah made that word up but explains easier the effect). And the vignette is simply your sensor being too big.

@Imhotep397 Месяц назад

I bet this was a C-mount lens optical formula. Pretty interesting effect though.

@markwiemels Месяц назад

I’m pretty sure that is the case. I suspect it’s designed for a smaller sensor, thus the cool blurry edge effect.

@anonymousflutterbee Месяц назад

I saw a bunch of listings advertising it as a CCTV lens with a C-mount.

@mikes978 Месяц назад

I have this same lens by risespray in black. Mine came with a macro screw-on attachment when I purchased it on AliExpress. It’s surprisingly decent for the price

@Trekeyus Месяц назад

I have the same risespray one in silver. I love the lens but that screw on adapter gets very annoying when swapping out lenses as I routinely unscrew it.

@rogersriveropadilla253 Месяц назад

Hey Mark. Got these Fujian or Risepray 35mm and the 25mm, both for Fuji but it seems you have a recent version, it looks like the recent versions have a larger front Element, maybe that is the reason why this flaws are less visibles for this new version.

@imothy Месяц назад

this looks like a cool lens, i've been looking ebay and there is a seller that has these in 4 or 5 different colors, there is a red one a blue one and even a gold one!

@maneeshvenkat3154 Месяц назад

Can you please review the Meike 55mm f1.4 AF lens

@blainemitchell 26 дней назад

The images look fantastic. I like the out of focus edging. Question: How do you keep your lights off your glasses? Would love to see your filming setup and light placement.🤓

@timothykieper Месяц назад

I bought this same lens in silver, which I thought looked great. But, it makes the lens markings a little diffcult to read. I would buy a similar lens again but in black. I think mine came with 4 adapters which was nice because I can use on my canon camera and also Micro 4/3

@6581punk Месяц назад

The worst something cheap can't be is just mediocre with no character. If it has a unique bad style then it has a use.

@markwiemels Месяц назад

Haha.. that’s a great perspective, I like it!

@WhatTheLifeMom Месяц назад

Will this lens fit canon 70d crop sensor camera?

@kellydoeslife 19 дней назад

I am trying to get one with the canon EF-M mount and I’m hella confused. The link brings up ones for M 5/6 etc. I have a canon eos M50

@cintam Месяц назад

Really interesting lens to be honest. I bought it for just 20 on a local e-commerce website. When using it to shoot the streets from above, the result looks like a tilt-shift photograph due to the blurry edges.

@jeffoberg685 29 дней назад

I bought the Fujian version of this lens just to have something small and fast for low light that i could toss in my camera bag. I normally have my sigma 18-50 2.8 lens as my go to walk around lens but this little thing is handy in case i need the extra stops of light and just have to get a particular low light shot etc... my biggest issue with this lens or at least my copyof this lens is the focus ring. Very hard to pull/rack focus if you are using it for video work and i find that even if i set focus and dont move the focus ring still shifts and never quite stays put between takes/shots which is super annoying but hey there is much worse out there for more than $35! 😅

@ChibaMeta Месяц назад

Waited long for a review of this one!

@FrogCabin-in5wd Месяц назад

Good sell! This lens looks like it might be useful for B&W photography with an old-time look. Spiratone used to offer a very primitive lens that did that.

@markwiemels Месяц назад

I’m really enjoying it. Nice break from 17 element perfect lenses, and so cheap.

@FrogCabin-in5wd Месяц назад

@@markwiemels My Spiratone lens was 75mm and had only one big element at the end of a long open barrel. I lived at the edge of the desert at the time, and it was impossible to clean the dust off the inside surface of the glass. This 35mm lens promises to be less of a one-trick pony. It's in my shopping cart right now. Thanks.

@rosetzu_nagasawa Месяц назад

yes, a perfect classic PORTRAIT lens. its built specifically for it.

@carlosandreviana9448 25 дней назад

The brightin star 35mm 0.95 exhibits exactly the same behavior in a full frame body and it is sharp from 0.95. and it is also cheap

@dan.allen.digital Месяц назад

I'm always worried about cheap lenses like this damaging the lens mount on my Fuji because of poor manufacturing tolerances. Have you had any issues with this on cheap lenses?

@williammoskovitz7772 Месяц назад

interesting video !!! Thanks. I did click on the micro 4/3 link you provided for the silver one. Perhaps they are generic pictures, but the pictured mount does not look like micro 4/3. Also the description is kind of vague. It says.. "for M4/3 Fx Lens" . Are we sure this link is really for micro 4/3 and what is meant by "Fx Lens" ??

@markwiemels Месяц назад

I just checked, I think you are right, that one requires an adapter, I will remove it. Thanks for pointing that out!

@djimpulse Месяц назад

Great video as always Mark! How would you compare this lens to the TTartisan 35 1.4(one of my favorites) for fuji? Thanks again!

@markwiemels Месяц назад

The is more of a character lens. The imprecations give it a strong look or style, so this is a super budget way to try something different. It’s different enough from the TT, in the type of image, that if you really like that 35mm focal length, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to own both.

@marcopolimeni2356 Месяц назад

I think this is a more recent version of the Fujian 35mm f1.7 CCTV lens (C-mount), that I own and were the flaws you described are more visible. About this lens I appreciate the small size and the low weight. BTW now I use more the Brightin Star 35mm f0,95 that I purchased after your review. Thank you for your videos.

@giancarlomartinez5630 Месяц назад

Is the bokeh swirly?

@markwiemels Месяц назад

Not particularly, the look is really about the edge and corner blur, but reasonable sharpness in the middle. A company called Lens Baby makes a similar look lens, called the sweet spot, specifically designed to give that look, and it costs $500. Obviously it’s a better lens, but this gives a similar look.
