Is this Brightin Star 50mm f/0.95 the cheapest full frame f/0.95 lens in the world?
Yes i think it is
F0.95 shooting atmosphere is very beautiful, night scene, blur, it will bring a brand new photography experience
Loooooooooove those sun stars (with bokeh, simultaneously) possibilities!!
I really like your methodical reviews, you cover everything relevant to the use of a lens like this.
Glad you like them! If there is something you guys like to know/want me to talk about, just let me know! I'm always looking at ways to improve my review and make them more informative :)
Excellent review. Thank you.
Thanks Stefan!
Nice review Richard 👏
Interesting lens and great review as usual. I am quite tempted to get one I love swirly bokeh!
thanks for watching Jamie!
Richard, I enjoyed your “guess this lens” thread at dpreview. Great to see your review of the lens here!
David, glad you enjoyed that little fun thread! :) It was really fun testing this lens.
i was impressed with their 55mm.
You rock Richard!
Thank you Peter!
Like your reviews Richard!
@@azonphoto4197 thank you very much
I like lens defects with lots of character, so kinda interested in getting this. It looks like it would be a good alternative to my Konica 57mm f1.2
Great review. Brightn star ...sunstars i get it.🤣 0ne normally buys a 0.95 for the character and it definately has a lot of it! Thankyou for the review
Thanks for watching Marc :)
Nice sun stars.
Thanks for watching JJ!
Yet another great review. I wonder how this compares to the Meike 50mm f1.2? I have the EF version adapted (mc21) for my S5. It would be a great comparison. Sure the 0.95 is another half stop faster, but at what quality losses across the frame. Maybe it beats the Meike in image quality at f1.2, but maybe not based on your image examples?
My Meike 50 1.2 is a Z version or I would have done some comparison. I feel the Meike might be a bit sharper and less CA at wide open. But IIRC, the Meike has some pretty bad lens flare which is the biggest weakness of that lens.
It's too heavy for my Techart LM-EA9 or TZM-02 for autofocus, so I got the Mr. Ding Noxlux instead 50mm 1.1 instead.
Brilliant review!! I wonder how it compares to the TTArtisan 50mm F0.95?
I'm keen to see your comparison with the TTArtisans too, and Mitakon as well if possible!
If TTArtisan release a non-M version of their 50 0.95 lens, i would try to do a review and compare with this lens!
Thank you for the review Richard, I enjoyed it. The lens is seems like a great price. I noted it's available for Sony full frame as well. I wonder how it compares to the Laowa 45mm 0.95 in comparison.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment n c! yes it's available for E mount FF. I haven't done any direct comparison with the Laowa, but i believe the Laowa has better overall image quality, and much more refined construction/build quality, but at the same time a lot more expensive too.
Looks like a really interesting lens. Reminds me a bit of the vintage Japanese lenses modified to fit on a mirrorless camera. It certainly has a lot of creative character and with the aperture clicks and logo it's pretty easy to check the settings with the hood retracted. How does it compare to the nisi sunstar lens. Thanks as always for the great review
It does have the character of some old vintage lenses. But advantage is you can buy brand new, probably cheaper overall, and size should be smaller as you don't need the adaptor tube to extend the length to fit mirrorless cameras. I never have a chance to test out the Nisi so can't really say much about it. Will see if I have a chance to try it out one day
Oh one thing i forgot to mention. The lens hood you can rotate it so you could move the logo to any angle/position, which means you can't rely on the logo to tell what is the aperture setting
The slight edges on the bokeh are a bit strange, but not off-putting. Like you, I have some vintage lenses that I love for their character, particularly the swirling effect some old Russian lenses give. This lens does seem to have some issues like chromatic aberration and the soft corners are things that can be either corrected or reduced in processing using most modern software. Coma is pretty bad, but then again, 50mm isn't the best focal length for astrophotography, anyway, but f2 is still pretty fast if you want to stop down and try it.
hi, in terms of bokeh is this better than mitakon iii?
Thanks for the good in depth review !
I'd be curious to see a side by side comparison with let's say a standard canon 50mm f/1.4 because let's be honest, the bokeh is not that great anyway (swirly bokeh is really not my thing I have to admit) chromatic aberration is insanely ugly, and if you have to close to f/2 to get a decent image quality, the canon might as well do the job for cheaper and lighter...
If swirly bokeh isn't your thing and you really don't like/want any CA, a slower 1.4 or 1.8 lens maybe the better choice for you. Thanks for watching :)
is it better than the TTArtisan 50mm F0.95? idk which to buy
Sorry i do not know. I will see if i can do a comparison with TTArtisan in the future
5 aperture blades?
Can you get adapters for Nikon F Mount?
No sorry, lenses designed for mirrorless cameras cannot be adapted to use on DSLR cameras because DSLR has longer flange distance
@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks Richard I was wondering if that was the case I see a lot of the relatively unknown lens manufacturers that are coming out with some surprisingly good product are telling me they're only making for Nikon Z mount. I'm an old style photographer I'm still using a D810 and not really wanting to change and have adapted my medium format film cameras to take the nikon as a databack allanjohnstonconz
@@allanjfotos hey Allan, yes most of the newer lens manufacturers are really focus on create lenses for mirrorless cameras these days for 2 main reasons.
1. The mirrorless cameras allow the use of manual focus lenses, especially the ultra fast one, a lot easier with features like peaking, zoom in/magnification from the EVF. Some of these lenses just really hard to use even if available on DSLR
2. While there are still lots of photographers prefer to stick with DSLRs, the market has mostly shifted to mirrorless cameras so that's what sells the most these days.
ten bladed aperture ?
yes
Richard, I thought you were in a temple dressed to the part at beginning.
Haha now you discovered my secret identity 😹
Are them even 20 mm 24 or 35 ?
Sorry i don't understand the question, can you please explain it a bit more
how dare u point the lens to the sun？？！！！I wouldn't try it even with a ND1000
nice review btw
:）
haha my camera is a sunflower and it aim towards the sun ALL THE TIME! :D
As China jumps on the bandwagon, we will see a lot of cheapest, quality is dubious initially but it will improve very quick..
"If you don't like that orange lens flare you have two solutions", 1. Do not use this lens, 2. Buy Leica for $12K... ("oh, this lens flare is not looks that bad")
This looks identical to the ttartisan 50 f/0.95 lens, although it is a different design - 11 elements in 8 groups for ttartisan, and 7 in 5 for brightin star (and a slide out lens hood). I think they just copied ttartisan's outer body design?
The ttartisan one costs more, but for that you get more elements (more glass always equals better photos, right?) and it's in leica M mount which adds some complexity. If it follows their 50 f/1.4 release we should see a cheaper f/0.95 model launch at some point (probably $100-150 cheaper) in native sony E/Nikon Z/canon RF/etc
Not available…..
What's not available John?
I find the branding off-putting right on the lens. I prefer more non-descript branding/logos on my gear but some may like it that way.
Use isopropyl alcohol and rub it off
Yeah i also usually don't like have a big brand logo on the hood too. But companies do like to print their logos everywhere for obvious reason :P
Yes as Marc said, i'm pretty sure you can rub it off easily with isopropyl alochol or something. Or you can put a black tape over it
Regardless the image quality, the build/design of this lens making it looks so cheap, let alone the logo on the lens looks so ugly.
Good review tho.
Thanks for watching Kai. I am not a big fan of the big logo printed on the hood too.
dude, did you just dub yourself, what gives?
you re looking a bit kung fu over there.
oh is the audio out of sync? any particular part of the video?
