You cant have blurry background with wide angle.
Laowa: hold my toneh
HECK WHO CALLS THERE BEST TONEH LENS ... ARGUS ?
I HOPE THEY SEND A STEACK WITH IT ...LOL
.95 is actually perfect for when I want to isolate an eye lash on my pet cricket.
When I saw that plastic bag photograph i was expecting an "American beauty" analogy....
Hi Man thanks for the kool video. I have a question, i own EOS r and i have Canon 35mm f1.8, am not happy with the bokeh with this lens, after seeing this video i want to buy Mitakon 35 f 0.95 also i saw videos' on Argus 33, 35, and 45mm. mostly i use lens for portraits with sharp subject and amazing bokeh which one do you recommend please? hope i am wasting money by buying another similar range lens? please through your thoughts? thanks!
"...it's in the rule of 3rds, therefore it must be art."
A rule no one could disagree 😎
Mitakon wins in color, sharpness, size, and price.
So it sounds like the Laowa might be the better option. Or maybe an adapter Zeiss Sony lens for my Fuji if I want the budget option
7artisan win for price and weight. It's almost similar to mitakon but less sharp and more purple fringing
The colour has nothing to do with Argus. Disappointed. Laowa macro 100mm is a fantastic lens but this is garbage
Tokeh looked smoother on the Laowa, but the Mitakon is no slouch in that area either.
That mitakon looks damn fine. How in the holy of holies is anything sharp at 0.95 ?? The mitakon is...
Nikon noct 58 f0.95 is insanely sharp even when wide open
@@-_--le3zk Oh nice let me check it's price now!
@@networm64 yeah only and only 8000 usd,i was wondering to sell a few organs to get one
That is only passable sharp. If your subject occupies like 30-50% of the frame, it's okay. If it occupies only 10%, well it's just passable. When you crop quite a lot to get that 10% to 30%, it's soft
I don't have any of these camera systems, but I just can't stop watching this channel when there is an abundance of dry, sarcastic humor and occasional truth bombs slipped in amidst the content. Great stuff!
"Nikon" * scoffs * "... Nikon.."
* giggles * (me, a nikon shooter)
We need more photo commentary these are genius
Damn. I was about to buy your art with the screw, but I couldn’t find the link down below. Instead, I purchased a 21 speed lavender mountain bike with a salamander orange seat, canary yellow tassels, and an artichoke green streamline helmet with a vanta black pair of sunglasses.
people, please remember, this is an APO design so I think it has a different target audience compared to the Mitakon.
For a primary video guy, I personally think getting APO is pretty damn good at this price!
So, compared to the Mitakon, the Laowa is softer, heavier, greener, and more expensive. Otherwise, it's great.
That background music while showing the lenses. 😆 So cinematic. So brave!
Yo’ve been swallowed by the Northup event horizon
Where can I buy the NFT for the picture of the screw?
"...2020 was a good example of a perfect year..."
The Laowa is so heavy because it’s still used by the super soldiers as a dumbbell waiting for battles to begin again
Kasey -- you do realize that 99.9% of your viewers cannot tell the difference of any of this stuff? They just come here for the goofiness....
Find the Mitakon better on focus and colors.
Camera Conspiracies: "Nobody wants to be in your clown house"
Me: 🤡
That Mitakon is a perfect lens that can keep up with the zeiss, and have a fair price for it. The Laowa thought, is too much creamy at 0.95, I wouldn't consider buying at all. One could say that it's more 'cinematic' skin because it's softer, but for that we have the voigtlander nokton 17.5mm f0.95 that is absolutely fantastic. The only bad thing on the voigt is that he's $800. So I would go for the mitakon without a doubt.
You should get a photo of Northrup, put it in a frame, and then have it on your book case. Real time Tonéh measurements.
Ha, that is the best comment in this thread! Totally- He might get some hate letters from Toneh though
Your a funny guy for sure! Specially the part with the pretensious (presenting done photos) talk-jokes at the end! :-D Might both learn and laugh following this channel.
I have gained so much knowledge from this channel that I've decided to upgrade my Kodak Instamatic.
This is odd. Christopher Frost made a video comparing the three f/0.95s for Fujifilm. In his video, Laowa was the sharpest, had better contrast and less color fringins by a significant margin compared to the mitakon and 7artisans lenses. Makes me wonder why mitakon seems sharper here.
He tested the lenses on different bodies. So that could be the factor.
Mitakon is certainly better in all categories. Lighter, cheaper, better colors, better sharpness. Sorry Laowa it's a no brainer this time. The 2mm difference is hardly worth it.
Mitakon wins but...Zeiss... fatalitizes manual losers (learn English)
I've heard about slow autofocus, but slow manual focus is something new and advanced. Laowa is what makes Fuji for what you love it. Mitakon makes it look like Sony.
The Laowa worked best for you. It was the lens that brought you closest to teenage girl like skin, since the juice fast isn't doing it.
Fuji Assassin shirt ordered for border crossing because I hate shooting raw J Pollen
Green isn't a toxic color, it's the color of growth. Your just becoming a vegetable from your juice fast
I’d like your screw in the wall art...check is in the mail 👍🏼😂
You nearly reached Tony Northrup Toneh! I was getting concerned..... I don't know that is a good thing or bad? The Laowa is softer in a good way! Thanks for the comparison. I did not find the link to that screw photo?
The photo commentary was next level. And I don't know if I've heard that derivative of toneh before- "tonehature" - most educational video of my week.
.095 would be some crazy toneh lol 😂
_Don’t be tryna catch a kangaroo_
Mitakon wins! Good video. Thanks
So, "translating" de crop factor, the Laowa 33mm f0.95 is more like a 50mm f/1.4 and the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 is more like a 52mm f/1.4, em I right?
We need more photography reviews!
75 Hundred Thousand Dollars! 😎👌
The XC 35 f2 is one of the bargain Fuji lenses!
Mitakon is sharper... My eyes and heart say that
You're creating your own photography genre! And enjoying so much the "captions" that you put in it! Please include this always in your every content release..it's so rad!
There should be a warning on aperture rings:
WARNING: For video, do not go below 2.8.
Yes! Thanks for mentioning that!
Is this APS-C or full Tony?
I like the laowa cuz the softness
Laowa does feel a bit... i don't know, slight off focus--y in terms of sharpness. Like, it focused just a few mm off but that's the sharpest it can get. Also, the skin tone it produces seems to be on the yellower side. The Mitakon does look sharper, and the skin tone is more heading towards the magenta side. My basis for sharpness was the eye lashes.
Zeiss 1.8 and Sony A7Siii looked the sharpest.
Wow, Veggie POPO and Camera Spiraies in same day, how blessed we are 😬🙄
7artisans 35mm f0.95 would have been great in this review, its basically Mitakon with much cheaper price.
The plastic bag picture is probably best picture you ever made! Well done!
I remembered that movie, american beauty 😅
@@thelensguy6050 me too :)
Mighty Mitakon for me. Better colors. Better sharpness. Better spacial rendering. You look much more 3D.
Mitakon all the way
need an artisans comparison
Oh my gosh, I'm so stupid! Your "screw in the wall" reminded me of a srew I recently saw on the floor in my garage. It was laying there in a perfect angle, calm and balanced... as if it was there since ages, created to be in this place for all eternity... I knew I should have made a picture of it with the rule of thirds, then selling it as art! *bäm* ...never having to work again! 😆
But in all seriousness, nice review, thanks! I was wondering whether the argus could actually replace my Mitakon. And well... doesn't look like it. Although, here's the thing with these "alternative" manufacturers: they have a hell of a lot of variance in their manufacturing! In good samples they seem to produce physically impossible, optical wonders. In bad samples they are really not worth the "somewhat low" price anymore. Depending who you ask, the Argus is superior or inferiour to the Mitakon. Now imaginge a good Mitakon meets a bad Argus, or vice versa... Nah, these sort of lenses must be hand-picked and thoroughly tested when bought. That's a lot of effort! And since I don't have the time (or rather will) to do that, I'm gonna stick to the Mitakon for now.
Oh and lastly: good point with the focus travel! The Leica style add-on ring with a finger groove for the Mitakon makes it blazingly fast to focus for street... but then: who does street with 0,95 ?!? The occasions where you need/want 0.95 (or anything below 2.0 for that matter) are mostly ones where you have the time to proper focus. So... meh, I'm on the fence with this as well.
Good channel, good style, like it a lot. Gonna keep watching. Keep it up! 👍
I'm liking your style of video, adds a lot of suspense to the subject matter. I own the Laowa 100mm f2.8 APO, and can see the only thing the Laowa 33mm f0.95 going for it is the APO (almost zero chromatic aberration). Will stick with the Mitakon. Great comparison video
OMG your humor is freaking great man! Kudos and much love from Whittier, CA
Yers the Mitakon is sharper and has more contrast... But in Laowa's case.. the lens appears less sharp because of less contrast.
The Laowa feels more cinematic, with a longer throwdistance when focusing, I would primarly use it for video.
Ultra high sharpness isn't everything. I actually prefer the gradual softness of the lens to the contrastier Mitakon which makes it seem like a Sony lens lol XD
Beautiful photographs, exactly what I come here for
Laowa must make probe lens for fuji instead another unsuccesful lenses. We waiting for probe lens.
That Laowa is another wrist injury waiting to happen. Twist gingerly fruit boi.
Why do I love the humor and hate it at the same time? hahah, well done. I enjoyed this comparison more for your sarcasm than the lens v lens. Though, you did drop some good insight.
4:43 i lost it 😂
Remember, with long ass wrist-breaker focus throws, don't be trying to catch a kangaroo.
"Wow! That's uh, that's a wristbreaker -- that one." That's what she said.
I have both and I like both of them - they are have different characters. Regarding the drawing,I will say very generally this: Laowa is more "universal", Mitakon is more 'charismatic".
Which of the two has better sharpness and rendering? Also, does the laowa feels very heavy? Thanks
Samurais are japanese, not chinese! Ok, you can delete this comment! But if you do, I will tell that to my camera conspiracies shirt!
Not zero point ninety five. Since whatever after the pont is less than (
Thanks for all you do sir... love your tone and 'toneh' :)
man, the photo analysis in the end was amazing. funny AF
Outside, you found yourself lost in Tonehland, my friend 😉 The Laowa, while not as sharp, did have a skin smooting effect. That would be usable for close framing with blurred out backgrounds.
i always thought laowa is technical better company， but my eyes tell mt mitakon is better in color
I can't find the link to buy the last image... the one with the screw in the wall.
In the videos, all the other lenses look better, the Mitakon significantly so
so much toneh...
Laowa seems soft
No one has ever summed up being goth in quite so perfect of a way :-D Thank you for the laugh!!
Repeat after me...To-Neh. 🤤
Toe-Neh

Hey Canon fan boy,what’s with the Nikon sneer?
Why aren't you using the Olympus!?

Point Zero Ninety Five ... ROFL .. Hilarious
Two warnings for the photoshoot
and I still wasn't ready for it.
Sergio Leone would be proud of your super tight shot
The bokeh quality is much better than mitakon
That focus pull about broke your wrist!
The background obliterators
You sound like Mr. Heckles from Friends.
His photography is truly improving. That shopping bag would make a fantastic abstract art piece
Beeple like in its magnificence
WTF did the Laowa do to the color??!!
"Don't play around.... Squeeze and pull"
That toneh is sick!!! And that is cinematic? Sick.
Laowa is Chinese. Samurai is Japanese.
there also the 35mm slr magic t.95
But but, is it enough toneh?
point zero95, thats just.... 🤯
Mitakon still top by a hair.
Your sense of humor won my heart ! 😆
getting andrew tate vibes...
