TTArtisan gave me this lens to review for free. They did not tell me what to say or do. Any review on my channel I do is my own opinion and no one else. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
What do you guys think? TTArtisan is bringing some fun lenses to the party! What lens should I do next?
I know it's a bit out of your review style, but can you do a light/exposure shootout among similar focals some day? I am noticing that especially wide open when they have heavier vignetting, they tend to overexpose the center and push higher ISO compared to my native lenses. So Im wondering, are we getting all the f-stops with these lenses, how is vignetting affecting other settings, is their glass as transparent as other lenses... 🤔
Lenses can differ in a number of areas. Also your camera should be set to “multi spot” meter. That’s the most commonly used auto metering mode. I like to point out when lenses have noticeable vingetting. I do plan to do a “how focal length” affects the subject soon.
Is this auto lens ?
@@tatespeech804 no, it's a manual lens.
@@kyletaggart i just got my lens home
I was waiting for this one. The brand seems to be making great lenses for really low prices
I always get hyped when I see you've got a new video out. Always something upbeat and a new bit of kit to be interested in
thanks so much Tilly! :)
This is unprecedented value, especially after 7artisans started jacking up their prices; got their 55/1.4 for $89 last year, now its $110+ and their 35mm f1.2 is not cheap either, so I ordered the ttartisan 35 f1.4😁
Great review as always, really like the music and your style of photography. Seems like a no brainer so lens bought!
Oh dang! Thanks for the kind words
Just bought an a6000. I love your tips and reviews :)
thanks so much!
As always a really good video💪🏼
Thank you!
Hi there. Pretty good job what you've done so far. And i like a lot the fact that you're using the Sony A6000 as your camera because it's the one i have too. Please consider doing a video comparing the samyang 35mm f/1.2 ED AS UMC CS with the sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary. I'm really lost in translation!!!
Another good video this lens will be great for beginners. that comparisons video is going to be great as well going to help a lot of people make some decisions. Keep the videos coming 🦾🦾🦾 now roll that beautiful bean footage😂😂
bean footage? lol. dude I got some cooool stuff coming! if I could pin all your comments I would. Seriously man, means the world you keep comin back!
I currently have the X-T2 and e-m10 MK IV. As I've got the 7artisans 55mm f/1.4 for the Fuji I decided to get this lens for my Olympus. For the money and having that f/1.2 it's an absolute no brainer to me. Nice review.
How do the two compare. I have one 7artisans macro lens and the focus is really not smooth.
Thanks; Have you noticed that it seems darker at same f-stops as other lens? Meaning Fuji lens. My copy did not impress me yet, but I will conduct some more tests later.
for social media post this tt artisans are really great :)
I realize that I am a little late to the party, but I would love to see you do a video on "Using manual lenses on the A6000". I would especially appreciate all the steps in order to set up the A6000, and then the actual using of the Focus Assist using the lens. I've seen some others, but they only cover the setting up of the camera. Also, I am very attuned to your teaching style. Thanks
I’ve taken a break, but I’ve wrote that video idea down on my list. 😊 I have some directions in the MF assist in my tips n tricks videos. It takes a little getting used to but it’s a great feature. That and focus peaking.
I would love to see the comparison with the Sigma and Sony 50mm lenses!
I’m a beginner and I’m dreaming of having a 50mm lens 😍 so the comparisons are incredibly interesting to me!
gotcha! Thanks Katy
Always A6000 is best.. Still now, i use that masterpiece ❤
I also really like the manual lens. Great job.
Glad you like them! thanks!
Yes. Do a video with the lens. Or maybe a more video suitable but really affordable lens.
Great video buddy (as always) 👍🏻
GT! Hope you’re doing well buddy. Thanks for stopping by.
hey @@kyletaggart , same old mate, pandemic stopped everything but hopefully it will get better soon. Always enjoying your videos mate :)
Thanks! After a few lens reviews I’m hoping to get more creative on here. I’m glad you’re safe!
I would love to see the comparison video!
Is there a manual version of the sigma 16mm f1.4 you would recommend
I can confirm. I have a Sony A6400... this lens is ...............Amazing! Crystal sharp shots, if you know what you are doing. I've owned single hundred dollar lenses and they don't touch this lens. Highly Highly recommend.
Good review. Great value. BTW what do you shoot your videos with? Well done.
A roll is the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 or sigma 16mm f 1.4 b roll is usually Sony 35mm f1.8.
Select tt artisan 50 f1.2 or 7artisan 55 f1.4?
portraits are awesome
I would love to see side to side comparisons with a Sigma.
Do you know much about filters? I would love to also see similar comparisons with cheaper vs more expensive ones.
I’m not a huge fan of filters. I’ve seen this cinebloom one being popular lately that looks cool. Lots of good TH-cam videos on the expensive vs cheap route though!
i own sigma 60 mm F2.8, it is redundant to buy this lens?
Hi Kyle, I wondered which one will you recommend the most? between TTartisan 50mm F1.2 or TTartisan 35 F1.4. I'm deciding which one should I pick, to pair with my A6000.
the 50mm is a better overall quality, but it's more about what you shoot. I'd go with the 35mm for more versatility. (wider view)
1.2 for less than 100$ is a steal! The box in came in reminds me of how Leica packages it’s cameras!
Oh! Didn’t know it was similar to Leica. Fun fact to know!
I got my lens but I can’t put in my a6000 what’s wrong ?
Nice 👍 also Tamron 17-70 sony apsc review please
Hey Kyle, stopping by to say hello!
haha thanks Rafael! can't get away from the clubhouse fam!
Great lens for the price
Hi Kyle!
It would be great if you can check how the TTartisans 35mm f1.4 and 50mm f1.2 on your A7C?
I guess there would be vignetting but can you test with image zoom to see where the vignetting clears up?
Thank you so much for your effort!
Hey, I would but I don’t own a A7C. Had it for a short but for testing.
Great review. Do you think this lens its good for making videos? or the quality or the manual focus makes it not good for it.
Manual focus requires a lot of practice, but it can definitely be good for videos . A key is not not shoot at the lowest aperture all the time. In terms of a TH-cam video - like filming yourself - it wouldn’t be the best. I’d suggest an auto focus lens for self filming, but manual focus is doable.
As a noob.
If this has a manual F stop. What do you set the camera to in M mode?
Do you change the F and Apurature on the camera?
In manual mode you have to adjust the 3 main settings depending on light available. Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. You can use auto modes and aperture priority with a manual lens. The manual part will be the focusing.
I am enjoying my TTArtisan 35mm lens. Guess I need to put the 50mm on my list. I thought the box it came with was very nice also.
same great quality, love the aperture ring. wondering now which lens from them I'll do next!
@@kyletaggart Hi Kyle, I wouldn't mind seeing a wider angle lens from them.
Great video. Can you tell me what size lens hood this lens would use. Thanks.
52mm filter thread
I think the promo code for canadians doesn't work anymore. Am I right ?
I just got an a6000 but say in the future I were to upgrade the body to an a6400, would they work well together or are there better alternatives?
Would the cameras work well together? Depends on what you want. The image/colors would be similar enough for them to be used as an A and B cam type setup.
good one 👌
Appreciate ya Leech!
How would you say this compares to other chinese lenses?
And also, it'd be great to see a comparison between this and other more expensive lenses (sony, sigma, etc)
TTArtisan, 7Artisans, And Pergear are my fav manual lenses right biw
For $100 you can't beat this!! WOW!!
It’s pretty sweet! Thanks for checking this out Gary!
Hi. I have a Sony A6000 + Sony FE 50mm 1.8. I would like clear glass whether it has AF or not. I hesitate between the 7artisans 50mm f0.95 and the TTartisans 50mm f1.2. Will there be a big difference compared to the Sony 50mm 1.8 FE? The f1.2 light is already cool, is it worth paying extra 2x more to the f0.95 light? Thanks for advice. Greetings from the UK
I’m literally editing a video that will help you lol. Also, the difference between f1.2 and f2.8 isn’t monumental. But, my next video will answer your question 😬
Great review! I got the 35mm, but consider the 50mm. Since you got both, is there a significant difference in bokeh between these two? Looking for bigger bokeh balls (yeah, I'm still at that beginner stage!👶), but not sure if the difference is worth it...
Bokeh depends on the aperture, not the focal length
@@dormir01 No that's wrong. Same aperture but longer focal length = more/bigger bokeh
Compare with FE 50mm f1.8
A top-class UV filter is more expensive than the lens, what a hoot!
Hi I have a sony a6000 camera and I am stuck between tt artisan f1.2 50mm and sony f1.8 50mm. Do you think it's worth the price difference?
The Sony is auto focus. If you’re nee to photography I’d recommend the auto focus lens over the manual lens. I love manual lenses, but it can be challenging using manual focus when you start out. 👍🏻
@@kyletaggart thank you for answering :)
I'm here! :)
haha you're back!
Sup Kyle! When's the a7c review video coming?
Unfortunately, no review. I have a video I'm going to include it in, but I just had other things going on when I had my hands on it. In short though, I'm not buying one. I REALLY wanted to love it, and it's a great camera don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't check the boxes off that I want. No touch screen menu's (sony, please give it to us!), the viewfinder is...small, and I don't like the grip. Those few things are big for me, and just made me realize I didn't need it, especially when the price jump is significant.
@@kyletaggart Is the ewf smaller than, for example, the a6X00 series? In the box, u dont get the rubber ewf extender or why is it small? The touch screen is understandable in its own way.
It feels smaller. I didn’t fret over it too much when I had it, but it definitely felt smaller screen wise. I’d have to confirm that though.
Nice video, please can you tell lens manufacturers especially fuji to give us an 18mm f1.2 I will be really grateful
I have zero influence on that lol
Are those images SOOC?
Yes. If edited I label it.
where is your link? (Amazon), cheers!
right here friend! (I use geniuslink to get ppl to the correct local amazon) geni.us/TTArtisan50mmSony
@@kyletaggart Thanks!!
1.2 f stop? I didnt think it could get that low! Or is it higher? I can never remember!! 😆😆🙈 you may have already done this, but do you think you can do whats in your camera bag? Or if you have, you think you can do an updated version?
Also, how much of a learning curve is using a manual lens?
Also, also do you have any recommendations on camera bags?
Also, also, also so far I'm impressed with tt artistan so far!
F stop can go quite low! Even .95!
I can certainly do an updated version. I did one over a year or two ago now.
It’s a little bit of a learning curve. You can use focus peaking, which shows a color in what’s in focus on the screen (kinda like cheating! 🤪)
I don’t have a ton of recommendations. I myself have wanted either lowepro or peak design bags. Never pulled the trigger as of yet.
And me too!
@@kyletaggart can you remind me what focus peaking is? Do you currently own a camera lens that goes down to .92? That would be an interesting review to see!!
It’s where when you turn the focus ring, a color highlights what’s actually in focus on the screen. Say you choose yellow (out of yellow, white, or red). As you focus manually on someone’s eyes (turning focus ring) you’ll see the color yellow highlighting what’s in focus. Also yep, one of the next two videos will be on a lens with f0.95!
@@kyletaggart Okay I gotcha!! For the focus ring, do you need to be in a certain setting? Like in sony a series, so you need to be in say shutter priority?
Focus peaking has to be on, and you have to be in manual focus mode or DMF.
Will this work on a A6400?
yes it works on any e mount that includes a6000-6500 and some a7
of course A6400 have a same mount with A6000, but the lens still gonna be manual tho
yep!
It can perform.AF?
no AF
Informative! Did you take your solo photo by yourself Kyle? If so, can you make a video how to take selfie using sony a6000 with any prime lens! 👍
The one where I have a coat on, my fiancé took those. All the others were me, and I used the Sony image edge mobile app to take the shots. I’ve had a few ppl ask about that, I may do a short video on it soon! ✌🏻
@@kyletaggart Sounds good! Looking forward to that video! Cheers and more power Kyle!
If that's how it shoots, I'd stick with my ugly "blur edging" mobile phone.
Am I right to assume that so far, the most decent chinese lens is meike's 35 1.4 and brightin star's .95?
The phone is more than ok if it’s what you have on you, but I’d say the quality with a lot of cheap lenses couples on the Sony a6000 are better. TT artisan 35 f1.4, Meike 35 f1.4, 7Artisans 0.95 series. But editing is a part of it as well etc.
I want you to give me a lens as give away😂.....
Just kidding
Lens doesn’t fit to my camera Sony a6000
It's possible you got it for the wrong lens mount. should be for Sony E Mount.
@@kyletaggart yes I got the wrong one shoot , I’m gonna return 🥲 it was for lumix and m43 mount 🙂
