Review on πŸ“· 7artisans 35mm f0.95 Lens: Perfectly Compact for Fuji X-T Series & X-E Series Mirrorless Cameras by Ikki Martini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simply amazing with some limitations

The 35mm f/0.95 is a very well made camera lens, very heavy for its size but not too heavy. incredibly shallow depth of field, blah blah, y'all know that. Indeed they have made a lens mount you can't look away from, its graphite colour, how shiny it is etc makes absolutely no difference in terms of performance but it is something. what is noticeable when you mount the lens on the camera :) What I didn't like is that the front end of the focus ring (where the milled grooves end) is uncomfortable to feel with the fingertips, almost sharp, I would like it to be smoother. From time to time you touch the aperture ring when focusing and move it away from the value of 0.95 you paid for. A little annoying. I really liked this lens and would never have returned it if there hadn't been another lens: 7artisans 35mm f/1.2, I have it, and in a few short winter days I had both, I compared them. The 1.2 lens is much lighter and smaller, so I'll leave it and go back to the 0.95, which I still liked.

Pros
  • Maximum aperture: f0.95. Minimum aperture: f16; Minimum focal length: 0.35 m. Filter thread 52 mm.
Cons
  • So far so good
