UPDATE: it turns out you can loosen all the screws in the barrel of the lens and recalibrate the infinity focus. I still wouldn’t change my rating, though, as one shouldn’t need to do this to a brand new lens. The screws were set hard, so it’s not like they slipped during shipping or anything.

@schwarzdrossel2454 2 года назад

How do i do that? I could not find a proper tutorial to adjust the focus on this particular Lens.

@WesPerry 2 года назад

Perhaps I need to make a video about it. Around the thin knurled section of the focus ring (the part I said was much too small) there are 3 or 4 screws around the perimeter. These have to be loosened slightly and the focus ring shifted until infinity focus can be reached and not surpassed.

I heard someone else talking about adjusting the infinity focus via 3 screws on the lens

@reptilespantoso 3 года назад

What a neat little lens. Maybe the focus can be reset, probably is some helicoid assembly mistake that slipped through QC. Not something an end user would normally do. How servicable are these chinese lenses? Just as good as the old german and japanese ones?

@actstudiocriativo 10 месяцев назад

Sensacional, parabéns pelo vídeo! Vou comprar uma ainda hoje.

@raygiambuzzi2340 2 года назад

I have this lens in silver and it focuses at infinity just fine. I'm guessing some Q control issues since it is from China. Also, BTW its a Sonar formula which for the money is just unreal. Finally the focus ring is narrow but the entire smooth section forward of the ring can be used to focus as well. I use a vented hood on it and the flair is under control. You cant even get an old FSU J8 in decent shape for this price!

@DrErickLopez 3 года назад

Great review! I just picked one up for my Fuji XH1. I’ve been on the hunt for a a lens with similar qualities as the Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 ultron which I adored. Stupid me for selling it. But this TTartisan may be close compared to your photos. (Let’s see). BTW, any word about the infinity focus issue?

@WesPerry 3 года назад

They still haven’t written me back! I’ve emailed them twice, sent this review, and crickets 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DrErickLopez 3 года назад

I just received my copy the other day and I’m not too pleased with it. Colors right out of the lens are kind of lacking in contrast and color saturation. It’s not as sharp as I thought it was going to be and it’s tricky to nail focus. I do like the aperture clicks and the focus throw and I also like its compact design as well as the very well controlled chromatic aberration but the images are sub par for me. I had the 7Artisans 25mm f1.8 and that thing was great, it’s just the focal distance which I didn’t like. I was really hoping for a gem, but not here. It’s just a fun cheap lens to play around with but nothing close to spectacular. Also...very very prone to flaring! It’s going to be fun getting a hood for something this small I need more testing with it obviously and how well it does paired with flash.

@25myma 3 года назад

Hello, I just saw this video because I'm looking for a lens for my Sony A3000, it is mirrorless and E mount .. I would like a good lens for pet portraits and interior design shoots.. which lens would you recommend? Any used, or old E-mount lens will work? Do I need to use only Sony? Are there cheaper brands or adapters combination I could use? My budge is $50. Thanks for your help.!

@WesPerry 2 года назад

For $50 you won’t be getting any autofocus lenses. This is probably the best quality you can get for that price.

@WesPerry 2 года назад

@TM-pn3zk 3 года назад

I hope the focus ring doesn't break off as easily as the 7artisans 35mm. I think this happened because there was not enough space between the fiocus and aperture ring, so that you'd stress the rings when twisting it onto the body. My second hand 7artisans 35mm arived with the focus ring already broken, hence I'm looking closely at the space between the rings when considering buying this lens. Weird that the focus ring isn't de-clicked when I've read that it is de-clicked!!

@WesPerry 3 года назад

The focus ring on this is actually half the body of the lens. There’s just a small raised and knurled portion, while the rest is smooth. So I can’t see how it could come off - the whole lens would fall apart. And yeah, it’s definitely very clicked...maybe there’s a way of declining it that I’m not aware of?

@hdebbache2000 3 года назад

@WesPerry 3 года назад

Mm yes I took out my iFixit toolkit. Loosening the detention screw on the focus ring allowed me to recalibrate the infinity focus entirely. The screw wasn’t loose at all, which means it came from the factory way out of calibration. Additionally, the manufacturer Still hasn’t responded to my emails about it after all this time. Pretty lousy, if you ask me.

@WesPerry 3 года назад

Now if only my Pergear 7.5 had such a screw, maybe I could get It to focus to infinity. Haha. My Pergear 50mm arrived with the focus set screw almost out entirely. Lens felt like it was ready to fall apart. Apparently Loctite is too expensive to use in China 😂

@WesPerry 2 года назад

Full frame or APS-C? Vintage inspired or modern look?

@WesPerry 2 года назад

I would say this TTartisan then. Just make sure you order it from somewhere that offers returns/exchanges. There seems to be a fair amount of copy to copy variation. The one I got was fantastic, and has a very clean look. But some others had decentering, and mine needed to be recalibrated (which I eventually did).

• Anyone whos purchasing or purchased ttartisans 35mm f1.4- it has a 39mm filter thread & if wanting to use filters on front of Lens & you already have filters but larger sized ones, just buy some 'filter step-up rings'..for example: 39-52mm, this may save you money, rather than buying same filter/filters in a 39mm size too Enjoy! 👍
