      Aw! Tqsm for correcting me, Kylo's name kept popping up in my head for this but I always felt it doesn't look quite right. Turns out I couldn't even recognize Revan, the "star" of KOTOR :-D

    I keep going back and forth between an 85mm and the TTArtisan 75mm f/2. The sharpness and bokeh on the TTArtisan are getting a lot of praise, and the lightweight, compact design is super tempting. I’d mainly use it for portraits, so the fast autofocus and that swirly bokeh effect sound perfect. Anyone else in the same boat?

    • @quagmire321able

      The TTArtisan looks pretty good from reviews. Maybe you could get both that and the Sirui? Test and keep the one you like? ;-)

      Not sure if I can get my hands on one but a quick seach yielded this : www.microfournerds.com/blog/meike-85mm-f14-auto-focus-review ; this might help since he/she compared it to a Sigma 85mm but I think that might be the 85mm HSM Art

    Thank you. Could you test it on an APSC camera as the lens is also launching on Fuji X? Do you think the sharpness would be enough for the more demanding APSC sensor? Obviously it's worse than the Sigma and new GM, but which lens for $500 isn't, right

    • @quagmire321able
      @quagmire321able  12 днів тому +1

      Exactly! I actually forgotten to test it on APS-C crop mode on my Sony. Will do so in the future.

    • @quagmire321able
      @quagmire321able  11 днів тому

      I would say the 85mm GM II would be the best with the GM I and Sigma following it for E-mount.

    what review is this comparing the lenses???? one is 1/5 second the other one is 1/30....at this focal length 1/5 seconds ....and its confusing...Sigma is on tripod and the Sirui not???

    • @quagmire321able
      @quagmire321able  12 днів тому +2

      Both mounted on tripod on the same camera. I shot some with quicker shutter speed as the light was changing as I took the test shot, these were shot during sunrise as I didn't have a lot of time to complete the testing.
      That being said, if it's on a tripod, shutter speed shouldn't matter, at least not for a 85mm shot at 1/5 or 1/30s.

      No sir, not a lot but just worse than the Sigma. I used it to shoot a lot of other photos and it worked fine.
      I haven't tested the Samyang thoroughly enough to say anything about it but I am sure there are already plenty of reviews online for that lens.
