I don’t even own a Fuji camera but this is exactly the kind of thing I like to watch/listen to while doing dishes. 🎃
Same :D
Same lmao, however I just recently got back into Fuji
Welcome back! I actually only got into photography 3 months ago, and hence technically found (and watched nearly all your videos) since the hiatus. Absolutely love the vibe of your videos and the invaluable information you give, hope all is well
Your little equaliser clip at the start made me so happy! Thank you for being you.
Please check out the TTartisan 25mm f2. After using the TT 35mm f1.4 for a couple of weeks I went ahead and ordered the 25mm for something a touch wider. It is a beautiful lens, both in build/form factor (practically pancake) and image quality. It could easily be the subject of an entire video! It's been on my camera all month.
I agree, that is also something I would love to see. Video review would be nice about that exact lens or even something similar like this current video, but to compare 23ish mm lenses.
Andrew how do you rate the 25mmF2? Do you still own it?
Thank you so much for making this comparison video. We're so lucky nowadays to have all these affordable third party lenses available to us, and that's just in the 35mm range. Several years ago, when shopping for my first camera, I passed on Fuji because their lenses were just too expensive when compared to other formats. I can see now that's changed with a variety of interesting options out there.
Fuji 35 f/2 is my absolute favorite, I used to have the Mitakon (mark 2), but ultimately the f2 from Fuji is everything I want from a lens on my X-Pro3
I've bought it yesterday (Ttartisan 35mm 1.4) for recording podcasts with two people in frame and maaan .. this is a great lens for the price. I've used a sigma 16mm 1.4 but the autofocus always screwed the recordings so I set it to fix focus - but the lens was so close that the focus area became the issue as it was a couple of cm on f1.4. So I had to go down with aperture which made the DOF less visible, however I like DOF in my scenes. The Ttartisan 35mm 1.4 is the perfect choice for me because now I have a longer focus area (about 30cm in f2) and I can get even better DOF because of the focal length. Now both of us are in focus almost all the time and the lens distortion has disappeared as well. Now we look good on camera :D. Perfect lens for these kind of cases. And it was 90$ (in Hungary) .. ridiculously cheap.
we missed your Fuji videos BIG BRO!!
Nice comparisons. I have owned and used the Meike, TTArtisan, and both 7Artisans (also the Fujichron f2; even the Viltrox 33mm). The only one I still own is the 1.2 Mark II. I needed a versatile workhorse at the 50mm focal length, and am way more comfortable with manual. I researched, found the Mark II, got it, took 2 shots, and, for the first time, audibly said, “Wow.” Everything about the shooting experience with my X-Pro3 was exactly what I needed & wanted. Funny that your summation of the lens-that some would find negative because they want “character” and amazing “sharpness in the corners”, etc.-is something I can appreciate. I am a doc guy, and the Mark II isn’t trying to be sexy or a one-trick pony. Just puts in the work, is reliable indoors and out, and, at least mine, feels built to last a while.
Which mark II is it? I'm kinda confused with all the brands and names and apertures. 😅
@@janjamesramos247 7artisan 35mm f1.2 mk ii
@@aanns thanks
I'm looking into getting one of these and I'm also leaning towards the 7Artisans 35mm F1.2 here. It's really small in size yet having one of the widest aperture and acceptable image quality amidst these budget lenses.
I know the TTartisan F1.4 is more popular since the price per value is outstanding, but I don't mind shelling a bit more for something even more compact and a tad better low light performance.
Interesting. My version of the 7artisans 35mm1.2 mark2 is the best manual lens I've owned incl 4 Leicas. Depending on how you use it it has amazing character and is great for portraits and streetphotography. Not a landscape lens but still does the job. The prints coming from this lens has a real analogue vibe. I actually use it more than my XF35mm1.4 and would never swap it for the xf35mmf2. I've shot thousands of images with it and learned how it works the best. I never shoot charts or brickwalls though.

Missed your videos a ton, glad you are back! I hope you and the family are doing well.
I love to see you are back! I actually missed your videos and checked your channel. I hope UA-cam recommends your videos again c: You are a kind person.
The Meike 35mm 1.7 is surprisingly sharp. I put up some images with it at 2.8 and my Fuji 16-55mm at 2.8 at 35mm and i was embarrassed that the Meike 35mm 1.7 was sharper in some instances lol...
thanks for sharing lol. how about for smaller apertures like f4, f8, is it still sharp?
I own the 7artistans f/0.95, and I'd just like to comment that on the first day I owned it, I dropped it three to four feet onto a hardwood floor. To this day, I don't think it was damaged at all and still works perfectly.
I was surprised to see a video from you! It's been a while. It's been so long that I've switched to Nikon and don't shoot Fujifilm anymore but still enjoy watching your videos anyways! Hope to see some more videos :)
I got the TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 last week and im glad its your fav!
These tests are so valuable! Thanks a lot!
It's one thing to test one lens and find it decent, but where differences really show is if you got more than maybe 2 to compare!
Welcome back Andrew! Love your fuji content. Had both the Mitakon and 7artisans f/0.95, they are pretty good lenses, especially with the 7artisans. Image quality they are really close to each other with the Mitakon being a bit sharper. However, I replaced both of them with the Fuji 35mm f/2. I find the fuji to be the perfect balance of weight and image quality for stills. Yes only for stills, it focus breath like nobody, a big no no to video.
Glad to see some new content from you. I know it's not in the "cheap" category, but I love my Fuji 35mm f2. I'd save my money and look for a used one (which is what I did). Interesting video.
So glad that you are back. Appreciate your calm take on things and your kids are .. well you know.
Good to see you back. Also I love those candid photos you are able to take. They’re just so special. Hope I can start getting some pics like that of my family.
Good to see you again!
What happened to reviewing the Pergear 35mm f1.6? I've been using it for more than 2yrs and I'm still very happy with it.
Just got the tt Artisan 1.4 and I've only played for 30mins but I'm pretty impressed.... Especially given the price!
Great video, I will get the tt artisan 1.4
I have the Viltrox 33mm 1.4 that I have been pretty pleased with. New it was under $300 and for me that is a great price for a AF lens.
Thank you very much for the honest review. I personally got in a occasion the .95 which I love to use even thought it loses focus when I turn down the camera. I'll try contact with the company to fix for sure.
I just bought the 1.4 you picked as favourite, it's good to see I made the right choice especially considering the price.I bought it as a stepping stone for the upcoming voigtlander, I just wanna make sure I like manual focusing and that the focal length suits me, I'm pretty sure it will but I'm on 27mm for now and I'm not loving it so far. Anyway, thanks heaps for this super detailed video, it was very helpful!
I heard the f1.2 voigtlanders weren't actually that much sharper or better than the TTartisans, but maybe worth it for the build quality and metal contacts. But for price I'd probably prefer just getting the xf 35mm f1.4 (or used) and using that to MF + can AF when you need or want it.
I'd love to see a video comparing which vintage 35mm lenses you'd recommend adapting to Fuji X mount. I know you did previous videos comparing lens adapters, and found significant differences between adapters and even between copies of the same adapter. But still, it'd be interesting content.
Thanks for creating this video. It is nice to see review of gear that does not receive a lot of hype. Also like the practical nature and openness of what imperfections in a lens can bring to creative photography. Your video helps broaden perspective from pixel peeping to creativity. Wish there was more vids about creative photography, including documentary.
Where do you think the 7artisans 35mm 1.4 would fall in this category? I’m having trouble finding comparisons between that and the 1.4 ttartisan
Googled 35mm fuji lenses just yesterday, was looking to buy one so your timing is incredibly great!
Thanks a bunch! Already had the TTArtisan in mind based on Andrei Dima's recommendation, nice to see that many people like it. And the dirt cheap Fotasy could be fun for an almost lomography kind of vibe!
I had the TTasrtisan and it's very sharp. Maybe sample variation but honestly, the xc 35mm f2 makes all these kind of redundant IMO. It's just too good.
Good to see you again. Once again a great comparison video. I appreciate your thoroughness.
I have both the 7artisans 1.2 and the 35mm f2 from Fuji. I think for me is just worth pick up the f2 as the 7artisans has a horrible pincushion distorsion and pictures look weird. Although manual cheap lenses are super fun!
Big thanks for the review! Whoud be great to hear your thoughts about 23mm analogs for crop systems!)
Wow! You’ve been gone so long your hat is worn out. 😂
Seriously, it’s good to hear from you again. Was worried something had happened.
I got the Meike sibling the Neewer - quite impressed with it.
So glad to see you in my sub list again. Love the videos and thanks so much! Keep it up!
I love your videos! So good to see you. Hope all are well! ❤
Good to see you back.
Hey Andrew, good to hear from you. Always loved going on those abandoned sort of places shoots with you in your videos. Is there a vintage 35mm you'd recommend? I have two vintage lenses I bought very cheaply and use on my XT-3 that I like, the Canon FD 135mm f3.5 and the Pentax 50mm f1.7. But, it would be nice to have a 35 and maybe a 28 as well. Have a great day!!
Thinking about doing vintage for my next video
Nice to see you back😀
7artisans 35 1.4 APS-C is great!
Would be interesting to see the comparison between the 0.95 from 7artisans, TT and Meike
Where were you guys? Was worried.. Hope all good.
The answer to this question, is the one you can afford. Better to have the lens option than not have the lens option. If you like it, you can always upgrade.
Could you make another version of the video with the 25mm or wider ones? I really enjoy your channel, new sub =)
I love my Meike 35mm 1.7 sweet bokeh lowlight doable
My first reaction after you listed all of the lenses in this comparison was: where is the appropriate Laowa (Venus Optics) 35mm lens, because that's bound to be very good? But of course, there isn't one exclusively for APS-C other than the much more expensive and enormous 33mm f/0.95.
Interesting, I had ttart 35 f1-4 lens and really liked it but the focus throw from 3 ft to infinity is super tight
Missing the photo duels and Denae !
Good watch.. those lens lack 'magic' it seems. 35 1.4 💪🏽😉
what about Mitakon 35 f0.95? not in the list? from what i remeber you owned one or at least had a chance to use it
I watched 5min and I saw the best lens comparisson I alredy see in my life.
You should try the ttartisan 25mm f2!
This is a very interesting comparison!!!
Hope you guys or doing well..(and don't worry about the world going crazy, all over the world is the same)...so my standard go to manual lenses or the 20mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.4 from Canon FD breech-lock SSC..the organic looks and bokeh even on the 20mm is unbeatable......to me :-) the proces of me trying and buying is over when it comes to lenses..most of them will be sharp but the flow to bokeh (dof) scars me...taking in account low light lenses Vs fast lanses....Most of them would be low light lenses and not fast lenses..
example the 20mm 2.8 FD SSC is a fast lens where the 50mm 1.4 is a low light lens...so why is the 50mm a low light......Because it has a DOF of f/4 not f/1.4 so from f/4 to f/1.4 is light, not dof...
so the main reason and to check if a lens is a cheep or expansive lens, is by looking at the dept of scale of the lens...it's like looking at the DNA of the lens...
Quote: If you sharpen different drawing pencils with the same sharpener, you get the same sharpness... (for the artist among us)
Have a great Sunday and be blessed.
Good job 👍
Samyang 35/1.2 missing in comparison.. pls do add if you can..
Why not consider the Fuji XC 35mm f/2? This gives you same optics as the XF lens and it has fast autofocus. It's plastic and not weather sealed, but it is light, small, and only costs $200 brand new. Used copies cost $150-175.
yep that's the one. I found 2 used copies for around $115 each.
@@kingsamvisuals I bought a copy of the XC 35mm f/2 a couple years ago, when I got my X-H1. I did not think spending double on the XF lens was worth it, if it has the same optics. I have no regrets. Saving that extra money also allowed me to buy a used copy of the Rokinon 12mm f/2 ultrawide lens.
The build quality does not want me to pick it everywhere. I like metal on my lens.
@@neerajnongmaithem392 Everyone has their standards...and ability to decide what's the best value for them.
Easy: Brightin Star 35mm f0.95 😍
Interesting comparison.
Nice! Thanks for another video!
darn, this' what i've been lookin' for; gr8 review thkU thkU cheerios
Very informative, thank you :D

I would have thought the 35mm XC would have been on here
We are reviewing cheap manual focus lenses that are made for all sorts of different systems in this one.
@@AndrewGoodCamera I guess the key here being manual focus. Cool video overall, nice comparisons for those looking to get one of these
the fotasy can make a cool effect lens loll
7artisans 35mm f1.4 Mark II
Should have included the Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2
I actually bought the TTArtisan 35mm 1.4 in silver... today :) I concur everything you said in the video. Used to own the Mitakon 35mm 0,95, Fujinon 35mm 1.4, 7Artisans 0,95 and to me, the price to performance ratio with the TTArtisan is just crazy. I don't even care about the lens cap being the screw-on type, because I am rarely going to use it. The front element is placed deep enough in the body of the lens so not really an issue and if I even damage it... then heck, I can get another lens.. :D Also, one tip - you can get the lens hood for the Fujinon 27mm WR and use it on the TTArtisan - it fits perfectly, looks the part, helps out with the flaring and protects the front element a bit. Cheerios!
I was recently looking for an affordable and compact 35mm for my Fujifilm XE3 that I acquired recently. I was able to grab a brand new Fujifilm XC 35mm f2 for $163 and there was not much to think about at that price, and even at full retail price of $200.
wonder of these lens allow more people into real photography & creativities instead of gears .
I don’t understand the appeal of these lenses, considering the quality, price, & availability of vintage glass. I collect & shoot with vintage lenses regularly ( mostly m42 Takumars, the best built, smoothest focusing lenses on the planet), a joy to use you have to experience to appreciate. These, in comparison, feel like cheap toys..... puts a serious damper on the shooting experience. I would suggest picking up a cheap Pentax Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 before going this route just to give it a shot. Would cost about $50, which you could resell it for if it turns out not to be your cup of tea.
