Great lens. Proof that sometimes you have to ignore the hype re the big brand names and just enjoy ( sometimes ) the less sharp lenses with there own look or style. Me I used to buy only expensive filters because you must have big brand names on ur expensive lens HYPE. Now I have tried Amazon polarised lenses ( very cheap ) guess what they are great. So cheap I can afford to have one for every lens size . Anyway love your channel my friend. Love ur no BS style and I feel like I am just listening to an old friend. Great as usual .
I have that lens for a few years now, I think I bought it pretty soon after I bought my first Fuji camera. I really like it! It's not something I use a lot, but it has some great uses. Some of my favourite picture were taken with this lens. And it's small enough that you can just put it in your bag pretty much any time.
I was thinking about this as I was driving earlier today. If I had that lens, I would want to get a second lens cap, cut the centre out, superglue a step-up ring to the outside (with the assistance of a strip of plastic from the bottom of a Woolworths bag if necessary) and screw a protective filter in. I watched something recently from a chap discussing whether it was better to leave the objective lens unencumbered by extra glass, and depend on the hood, or tu use a UV/Skylight filter or such and maybe lose a little light. He decided after his camera swung as he was picking his way down a rocky path and the hood helped centre a jutting out rock on his new and expensive lens. That lens would be around 11mm on a full frame camera, I guess?

I use it on an X-T3 for astrophotography. Give it a try! Great video by the way!

Rigging up a filter would be a bonus, plenty of times an ND filter would be useful on this. Yes, it's about 11mm in full frame terms.
Does anyone know if there’s an nd filter for this lens ? I have an Sony zve10 and most of the time I record on slog 2
Yes, everyone who watches my video knows. I state in the video that there is no filter thread. You cannot put filters on this lens.

@@Gorillamarketing517 not this one
Thats very cheap.
7.5mm would be more impressive on a full frame body.
An occasional fisheye can add some spice to a shoot... 🦘
So far as I can tell, this lens is APSC. There is a 4mm fish eye out there, but I don't need that one.
