Always interesting, one of my favorite channel about fuji x mount. Thank u from Belgium Damian ! Keep up the excellent work.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Many thanks Christophe!!!

@jameslevine6137 2 года назад

I'm looking forward to it and I pre-ordered it from B&H. I already have the 17/1.4 and 35/1.4. I enjoy experimenting with 1.4 affordably, and the compact size of the series is a feature I value.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Brilliant!

@oc2phish07 2 года назад

An excellent video Damian, for several reasons. It was good to see the lens in action, to see the results and to get your opinion on it. I also liked the little light meter and yes, that is how you spell meter, The other one, metre, is a measurement of linear distance. Finally, you showed some very attractive views of the city, with glimpses of the Christmas Market. My wife and daughter went there 2 weeks ago and loved it and now that I have seen your video, I also want to visit your city. Lovely stuff, Happy Christmas and New Year. Stay safe and well.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

I know, I was being silly about the word. I'm glad you want to come visit the city too, hopefully you have a great time and get some cool shots too!

@malcolmcog 2 года назад

I do like this lens after a few weeks of use. Even though it does not quite compare with my favourite - the Panasonic Lieca Summilux f1.4 25mm. I like to use the aperture ring and the focus ring. Being old and used to manual focus I just like using a focus and aperture ring. Bokeh is pretty good, depth of field is good. All in all for the cost its brilliant !

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

See, you've summed it up much quicker than me Malcolm! I should get you to put my notes together :D

@gilbertdaroy6080 2 года назад

I had high hopes for the 23mm especially judging from the fireworks brought about by the 35mm 1.4 and its vintage vibe. The bokeh is too messy for me, but the sharpness and looks isn't too bad. Even then I'll give it a try to see the quality myself. Good job as usual.

@OneCameraOneLens 2 года назад

23mm on my Fujifilm is my very favourite focal length. If my Viltrox didn't almost live on my camera, this could be tempting! Keep up the good work 👍

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Thanks Mark! I used the Viltrox 23mm for the summary part of the video :)

@thoughtcriminal7198 2 года назад

Fairly tempted to give it a try. In the end it’ll be image quality that determines wether I keep it. Those old Meyer Optik Gorlitz lenses (Domiplan and Lyddith particularly) have a vintage magic that can’t be replicated sooc. F1.4 and focusing from 20mm the bokeh ought to be creamy but is it?

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Let us know if you try it!

@thoughtcriminal7198 2 года назад

Got one. Like it a lot. Small, great close focal distance, sharp enough and it’s a bokeh beast. :)

@actstuntcam 2 года назад

Hey Damian. I always enjoy your vids and like how they look. What film sim are you using on your XT4? I've tried a variety of them and haven't really found a look I like. Are you changing your colours in post, or are they straight out of camera? Do you use a different sim for video, vs stills? Cheers, any help you could offer would be great - finding the XT4 a difficult camera to get pleasing images out of. BEST REGARDS, Campbell from NZ.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

This is a great question that to start with might be answered by checking out my menu settings. Basically I use three film sims for my stills and a specific set of settings which are outlined somewhere in this video, for example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IoS2mOmFuOc.html For the video clips it tends to be pro neg hi. Stills, I go for pro neg hi, astia and acros (r) though I find myself preferring astia out of the two colour options, for the extra warmth it gives. I don't change anything in post for these videos. In Pro work, where I shoot raw + Jpeg I tweak a bit, but for gear tests I don't edit anything, usually, so I have a fairly even playing field to evaluate from.

@robertbirnbach2312 2 года назад

can you compare the bokeh and sharpness to the fuji 23mm 1.4 version 1? I think that for a lot of folks with the new model the old ones are quite a good deal and it would be good to know if they compare favorably?

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Good idea Robert. I no longer have the XF23 1.4 to hand but if I do I could try!

@luisbperez368 10 месяцев назад

Great video. I held back from buying a digital camera for what seemed forever. After squeezing the life out of my Cannon AE1 and Yashica 124 (the film price and development are out of control), I retired both old friends. Now, they are proudly part of my Dark Academia display in my studio library. I bought a brand new Fuji X-T30 II with the XC 15-45 lens kit about a month and a half ago, and it is taking forever to get here. Well, I was perusing a few used camera websites and found an X-E4 in mint condition and bought it. Along with my new acquisition, I ordered the 35 mm 1.4 TTArtesan and the TTArtesan 27 2.8 due to their excellent reviews. I have my sight on the TT 17mm and the TT 50 mm. I could care less about the manual focus; remember, I come from an era when everything was manual; yes, I am an old fart. I have to say that I am happy with my TT lenses; I might also consider getting the 23 mm, BUT I have to say that the Zebra looks like a turn-off. Best regards, and stay safe.

@DamianBrown 10 месяцев назад

I come from the same era! So I completely understand. the 50mm f2 is a stand out little bargain too.

@luisbperez368 10 месяцев назад

@@DamianBrown I am going to take a look at it. Thanks.

@unfoldingcreative 2 года назад

Any issues with mounting onto the X-Body? I understand sometimes these can be a bit of a snug fit. How does this one do compared to other TTartisan lenses?

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

No, totally fine with both the lenses I have.

@25myma 2 года назад

Seems like quality keeps going up with these..just wondering; how does it compare withe cheerful 25mm f1.8 Pergear/7artisans...or the Zonlai 22mm?

@arpitkumargahlot 2 года назад

7Artisans 25mm 1.8 is the weakest lens within their APS-C lineup. But it is not a bad lens. Just that the optical design is not all that well corrected. A head to head comparison will be interesting. I bet this new lens will be the better choice overall. 7Artisans needs to bring an updated 25mm 1.4

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Actually I've got the Pergear 25mm, I'll put a video out asap

@25myma 2 года назад

@@DamianBrown yeahhh, that would be cool!! One thing I'm not liking the more I look at it is the design; their previous 17,35,50mm lineup is odd but pretty clean, this is just...CCCP style, I wish they stuck with that style at least for a while.

@silski 2 года назад

25mm 1.8 Pergear is not the same as the 7artisans 25mm 1.8.

@kevinparkes417 2 года назад

Voigtlander do an almost identical light meter called the VC Meter II. Currently £247 for the Voigtlander from Robert White's vs as little as £43 for the ttartisan direct from China. Great for vintage cameras that don't have light meters and far easier to use than something like a Weston or a Gossen.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Now that is almost identical!!

@albertsmith9315 2 года назад

Does the hard stop at infinity actually correspond to infinity? I have the ttartisan 35mm f/1.4 and it focused past infinity when you rack the lens to the hard stop, making it slightly out of focus at wide apertures.

@voorachter2733 2 года назад

Reviewers should always include this, it's a make or break thing for me

@belalang90 2 года назад

Yup same as mine. However, there are video out there said that it could be corrected by yourself. Still didn't try it.

@silski 2 года назад

I've adjusted mine. It certainly makes it easier to use once you do that.

@ea4bl 2 года назад

Just like my old Canon FD 50mm 1.4. It focuses past infinte.

@marcp.1752 2 года назад

The Zebra TTA 23/1.4 is perfect on any silver X-E1/E2/E2s/E3 and E4 bodies, Damian. And also cool looking on the black versions of these DSLMs. I'd have loved, if the aperture numbers and DoF scale would have been laser-etched, but for just 99 bucks - one can't ask for more, really.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Agreed!

@trezegol2007 2 года назад

I have just gotten the 17mm and 35mm , seems I should complete the lineup with the 23mm to fill the gap. The built, image quality and handling looks the same. Do you shoot all your videos and pics on a XT4?

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

I do yes, when I work I also use a T3

@trezegol2007 2 года назад

@@DamianBrown I'm shooting mainly photography, so using the ttartisan lenses on a xt3 should not be an issue i guess...

@thegeneral123 2 года назад

I keep looking at these off brand budget manual lenses but they all seem to have major optical "character" and that just does not appeal to me. I can add such things in editing if I want but it's extremely difficult to remove "character" from a photo depending on what the issue is. So it just puts me off. Could be fun but then the truth is I have existing glass that just smoke these lenses so why spend good money for not great glass? I must just be missing something. Are these rose tinted lenses appealing to a very specific customer?

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

I guess there's different applications, different budgets and tastes. If you can spend the money for the best glass than that's the ideal route, I'd say. Then again some have specific reasons to go cheap and / or manual only. I don't mind the variety at all.

@PhiggysDOTcom 2 года назад

I love the old Zebra look lenses I’m getting a fair collection of them mainly m42 Mount but also Exacta Mount lenses and yes I purchased the Domiplan on a old Praktica body a lens my mentor told me I should NEVER purchase some 60 years ago. Your just putting temptation in front of me again you bad man 😳😂 Hope you had your German Domiplan with you at the German market 😊

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Actually..... my fake Domiplan yes :D had to get down to get some lights in the background, was a bit tricky focusing on faces in the crowds from a fairly close up distance though.

@nevillewatkins4997 2 года назад

Zebra for me. I think you only appreciate black in contrast. As for the light meter I can see there being a market for those. Especially if you've got old cameras, like I have.

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Definitely!

@vainius37 2 года назад

I wonder, if forgetting AF/MF difference, how TT 23mm compares with Viltrox 23mm. Image quality, colors, rendering etc. Can TT 23mm fill the gap between my 18mm - 35mm spending much less money… ? Is Viltrox better than this one in overall quality despite autofocus? 🙂

@DamianBrown 2 года назад

Interesting question! I'm not sure IQ is better, maybe a different character as opposed to a "clean" IQ.

@brandizenintikaryapt5704 2 года назад

f11 is conspicuously absent from this and some other cheap Chinese lenses. I can only assume that the mechanical nature of the diaphragm makes it difficult to manufacture. But to me that is a deal breaker, even if I'd seldom if ever use f11.
