Hey Peter... Feedback time: 1. I like you don't cut parts where everything is not perfect 👌 2. Fantastic the part with energetic music and wonderful pix 3. Keep doing so. Fantastic job.. And the quote "shit machine", priceless...
Another great video of a very interesting optic. I really liked the images, more than sharp enough IMHO. Great bokeh too. I feel a GAS attack coming up... Thanks Peter for your hard work. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for taking the walk in the rain for us viewers (and putting the whole video together). Generally it is said that a 50 mm view corresponds most to what our eyes see. I personally think our view (or at least my) it is more like a 70 mm lens.
Nice video. It looks like a great little lens to have some fun with. I bought the Meike 35mm 1.4 for my "walk around and have fun" lens. It does the job well. Had I known about this lens, I probably would've gone for the extra stop.
Peter, I just got a used OMD EM10Mii, came with 12-42 and 45 to 150 for great price. Am learning to use it, I love the size. It complements the E-PL1 I got used for almost nothing a few years ago, and they use the same battery! Both fit in a nice small camera bag. I also have 2@ GX85s, a G7 and a G95 along with a few assorted nice lenses. I like both systems and much lighter than my Nikon APS-C and Full Frame models.
I've seen a few reviews of 7Artisan 35mm F0.95, all saying this is a sharp lens. I ordered one for myself for $235 MFT. I tested it for 2weeks & I never saw the sharpness reviewers are seeing. Also the CA & Bokeh are pretty bad on the copy I got...I think they don't make these lens uniformly as the copy I tested was pretty bad. I returned it last week & bought the TTArtisan 35mm F1.4 - for $70 instead. Now this is a great all around lens, cleaner bokeh, a more controlled CA, flaring & is way sharper.
Just a thought: For the picture comparisons it would be great if we could see the images in full size on something like google photos, that way we could zoom in and look at the sharpness and bokeh etc more closely, and also in higher quality than UA-cam. Sorry if anyone's asked this already, thanks for the great videos!
@@ForsgardPeter If you made a shared google photos album you could then put a link in the video description so that everyone can access it. Would probably be worth putting a watermark or something on them though as people would be able to download them.
Thanks for an informative video Peter. I'm surprised you didn't add captions on the photos as to the f/no you shot each frame. But it's a worthy video in any case.
I like 35mm for portraits. For "talking heads" videos that I sometimes do, I looked for something like this and got the 7Artisans 1.2/35mm - which is too soft wide open. The Pergear 1.6/35mm is better, but using these, I learned that the depth of field is already to shallow for people to move on their chair. So I need AF! Today I use the Sigma 1.4/30mm, which comes close and is really good, but I wish for Olympus to make a 1.4/35mm Pro lens like the great 1.2/45mm... I don't need f/0.95 on a tele lens.
Kinda reminds me of the M. Zuiko lenses for the OM-1, with the aperture ring on the end of the lens. Now if Olympus would just move the shutter speed adjustment to the lens mount....
It’d have been nice if 7artisans had sent their other 35mm lens also then you could have compared them. I really liked the b/w shots. Thanks for the video.
But if Boquet is there it should fulfill the aims of the photographer! And there is doubt that beyond f/1.4 there would be really more managable light!
Eh, I don't know.. I have the 25mm and the 12mm for EOS-M, they are priced well, but not too exciting. On the f/0.95's, Voightlander is king, I have the 10.5mm.............Thanks to you and your videos, I went with another Olympus, OM, the fisheye, 16mm f/3.5, can't wait til it arrives...Great work, Peter !!
Please HELP. Hello Peter, I have been an Olympus user 46 years (I purchased my first OM-1 in 1975) and recently upgraded from my E-620 to an M-10 MKIV after seeing your review on your channel. Here is my problem. I purchased an MMF-3 adapter so that I could use my Olympus 4/3 lenses with my M-10 but the auto focus won’t function when using the MMF-3. The camera switches to MF as soon as the MMF-3 is attached. Auto focus works perfectly with my m4/3 lenses. Am I using the wrong settings or is auto focus incompatible with the MMF-3 and M-10 combination? I am interested in your thoughts. Thank you for your consideration, Dale
Hello Peter, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I have just heard from Olympus and they confirmed that the auto focus will not function with the MMF-3 and E-M 10 combination. Thanks again for your response. Keep up the good work, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and I am learning a lot from you. Cheers, Dale
Hi Peter interesting lens, I have the 60mm macro from them and found out quite good and versatile in use. To come back to this one, it would be very interesting to compare it with a 25mm or 30mm from OM-D or Sigma for instance, not only the aperture obviously but bokeh and sharpness to see how they compare all together. For instance I use 25 and 45 premium for the portrait at 1.8 would I see an interest to use this 30mm? Thanks for your answer 👍
Excellent video Peter!!! I've been looking at this lens so it's nice to see someone do a good review on it... the bokeh looks just awesome!!! That last batch of images also showed the lens character so thanks for this!!! OH!!! Where did you get the profile for the Artisan lens????
I am a little slow to understand some of the mechanics involved with a manual focus lens. So with this lens, if you place it on any Olympus body, will the auto exposure work as it does with any Olympus lens?
Thanks for another great micro four thirds video. Your comment about the geese being "shit machines" made me laugh. I will point out, just in case you didn't realize, that "shit" is considered a curse word by American standards. I wasn't offended but probably not something you would want to say in front of children. LOL Thanks again for all your great content.
7artisan has a cheaper 35mm lens, the 35/1.2. The look of it is a kind of old school, and I would love it for a Fuji camera, but it's too narrow for m43. Well, for the price, it might suit my Pen-F.
Peter, there is one thing I have to say. I think I will be stuck with m43 forever, and the reason is the 4:3 aspect ratio. Fuji has the nice X-series aps-c format cameras, but because of the aspect ratio, I will never consider it, but the GFX will suit my m43 cameras perfectly. Why is the 4:3 aspect ratio perfect for me. Half of my shots are horizontal, and the 3:2 pictures will be too narrow for my taste. By the way, there you have the reason, why I have the Mamiya 6MF and not the Mamiya 7.

Lol, the trees did not know that. You crack me up, Peter. Looks like a really nice lens for the money.
I now have several 7Artisans lenses, and I love all of them. Great video as always 👍
Thanks.
I really appreciate the energy and thought that you have put into the editing of the video.
Thank you very much.
F/0'95 😲😲😲 WOW.... . Thank you very much, Peter... 👍👍👌👌🙏 Great video... 🙌🙌 "SALUDOS... 👋👋😃 "
"the trees didn't know that" hahaha best line ever. I like what you are doing!
Thanks!
I've 7Artisan 25/1.8 and TTArtisan 35/1.4 both lenses are nice :) I still consider to buy 7Artisan 35/0.95 :) Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
13:49 got me good. And definitely agree - that's what they are.

Interesting lens for sure, but odd FOV for MFT, like you said. Thanks for sharing bro.
Thanks for watching! Yes it is a bit strange focal length for MFT
Thanks for an informative video Peter. I'm surprised you didn't add captions on the photos as to the f/no you shot each frame. But it's a worthy video in any case.
Nicely done. I never pixel peep. Just ask myself does the picture look good? I thought they all looked quite nice. Thanks.

Bokquet is not everything but Tony is.
Great video
$239 that is low enough to get
😂
But if Boquet is there it should fulfill the aims of the photographer! And there is doubt that beyond f/1.4 there would be really more managable light!
Thanks Peter ... you gave me a nice intuitive feel for this lens. Cheers, Doug

I have heard that Voightlander f0,95 lenses are really good. I have never tested them. Maybe I should!
@@ForsgardPeter The first thing I noticed is the nice, long focus throw. Very heavy lens, built like a tank..
Please HELP.

I need to check this out and see how it is. At least my MMF-3 works ok with E-M10 MKII.

Since I can keep the lens I will most likely test it against some M.Zuiko lenses.
Does the 35mm 7 Artisans lens fit the new OMD-E10 Mark IV?
Yes it does if it has MFT mount.
@@ForsgardPeter thank you
Excellent video Peter!!! I've been looking at this lens so it's nice to see someone do a good review on it... the bokeh looks just awesome!!! That last batch of images also showed the lens character so thanks for this!!! OH!!! Where did you get the profile for the Artisan lens????
Thank you. What do you mean by profile? Lens profile?
@@ForsgardPeter Sorry, yes the lens profile...
There is not one. At least I did not find one if there is.
Interesting and good review of the lens.
Thanks! 👍
cool review, have you heared about 25mm f1.7 yongnuo new lens?
I have not. Need to check that out too.
@@ForsgardPeter probably going to buy here next month
I am a little slow to understand some of the mechanics involved with a manual focus lens. So with this lens, if you place it on any Olympus body, will the auto exposure work as it does with any Olympus lens?
Yes it does. But you have to set the aperture manually. It works like Aperture priority.
@@ForsgardPeter Thanks! :)

It's very much in the Leica style.
