TH-cam has been recommending a whole bunch of high quality channels that i assume are 10x more popular than they actually are. Great vid, and I’m really intrigued by these lenses now!
I just got a set of these lenses for fuji X and have only shot one project with them so far but, I just want to leave that 25mm on for almost everything, the look is awesome!
@@cyano3d I love the 25 because it's closer to a 35mm ff and that's my jam. I just wish it was the same size as the 35 and 50 cause it is quite a bit bigger.
I bought the Mitakon Zhongyi 25mm T1.0 Speedmaster Cine Lens for the same reason why you bought these lens. After shooting on the speed master in New Orleans and after trying my hands on the 7artisans 12mm I would suggest the 7artisans any day of the week simply on the build quality. While it was nice that the speed master's focus ring was less stiff. The 7artisan's is way more durable. The speed master's mounting plate is screwed together with these tiny screws that are made to hold eye glasses together and it almost didnt last the weekend. I had to tighten the screws with a kitchen knife because they were so tiny. The 7artisans screws are not going to budge any time soon. So if you ever see any one considering getting Mitakon Zhongyi speed master. Convince them that the 7artisans is the better choice.
@@caffeinatedcameras So sense I made this comment. I got my hands on the 25MM sense I wanna stick to the same line of lenses. The 7 artisans at T1.4 has the same brightness and bokeh as the Speed master at "T1".
Oh man, I'd love to see a 135mm, 95mm, and/or 70mm, like something out there that's nonconventional in focal length, but this video was great keep up the good work!
Erik, man me too! I’ll tell you something that I’ve been playing around with with some insane results. Pair these lenses with an anamorphic adapter like the one from moment or sirui
@@caffeinatedcameras I'm excited to try out those adapters once they have more info on them I'll be a bit more inclined to dive in. Alos off of your most recent video, don't fret the YT side of life. You make amazing content. I've been sitting at like 600 subs for like 4-5 yrs. I make content as an outlet bc I don't want to market and brand and fall into a video cycle but you make content for people and I think once you find what you are looking for you got it. It takes time especially to find what was once lost but you're a great story teller and I know these channels and videos are only a fraction of the human being you really are.
I see a fellow bag enthusiast 😊 thanks for this great video. Would love to add a cinema lens to my bmpcc4k. But I do need ois. At this price I might still get one though
Hey hey Bo! I have seen many a great bag video from you! OIS is nice to have but for me I’d rather have a top handle and some weight for a handheld look. These would be killer on a bmpcc4k if they make a m4/3 option
@@caffeinatedcameras that's awesome. Thank you very much. Yeah, I have a tophandle and the camera is already pretty heavy. And as a martial arts practitioner the ninja walk works well. I still have some micro jitters from time to time that I'd love to avoid. But a speedbooster and a cinema lens would be dope. Again: at this price I might just get one tbh 😅
Got a set, they're a good stilised set but have heavy chomatic aboration in the green channel in out of Focus areas that can get nasty in high contrast areas. Love'm though
Yeah optically they can get pretty unsavory depending on the shot/situation. That's why I use them on stuff where image isn't being scrutinized to the utmost extent. Thanks for the comment and watching!
Awesome video! Been looking at the 12mm and the 25mm recently and excited to see the example footage on a timeline! Also are you based in UT? Love Antelope Island would love to link up and work on some projects together!
Army of the dead was such a fail especially in the DP department… nothing I would quote as a positive…😂 But that has nothing to do with your actual video which is about the only useful video on these lenses - much appreciated!
Really appreciate the sleek (visual) presentation of everything, great stuff! Would you be willing to share how you created the zoom-in effect with shallow depth of field during the screen recording (e.g. at 3:03)? That would be amazing 😊
So, do you recommend those lens set for more serious projects, such as music video clips or short movies? I'm choosing between 7artisans and Vespid Pictor zoom
For sure I recommend them, but only if the looks suits what you’re trying to shoot. I don’t really subscribe to cheap things can’t be professional if that makes sense
@@kingsamvisuals Yeah like they will work, and I'm sure it depends on your sensor, but like on my R5C it vignettes hard. So I don't use it on that. On my komodo the 25 will vignette ever so slightly but it's not to the point where it bothers me.
All of the info here is great, but bro we can't just let you gloss over something called the B&H Creators Discount? You can't just slide past that! 😂 Do you know the requirements? I can't find details anywhere!
@@caffeinatedcameras Furthermore, if your gonna be another worthless gear hawking fake ass "cinematographer". Try doing an actual project with the gear. Then review it, that way the people don't think you're just another worthless gear hawking tech-tuber.
Freddy, it sounds like you need to get over it. You sound like the jaded one. I like the lenses. I shoot on them all the time. I’m not a fake ass cinematographer because I’m not a cinematographer.

Thank you so much for the kind words🙏🏽 they’re a lot of fun!
Loved this summary of these seemingly good for the money lenses from 7 Artisans
Nice man! Glad you enjoyed it! I still have them and use them quite often!
I wish these were available in EF or PL because I would highly consider purchasing!
That would be rad
I just got a set of these lenses for fuji X and have only shot one project with them so far but, I just want to leave that 25mm on for almost everything, the look is awesome!
Yeah man they’re super fun!
where can we find your project my boy? I'm curious about that 25mm 'cause i'm hesitating between this one or the SLR Magic one haha
what is a more usable focal lenght 25 or 35. i am new to video making and wanted some advice
@@cyano3d I love the 25 because it's closer to a 35mm ff and that's my jam. I just wish it was the same size as the 35 and 50 cause it is quite a bit bigger.

Man thanks for the insight. I’ve looked at the Mitakon a few times. These are surprisingly well built lenses.
@@caffeinatedcameras So sense I made this comment. I got my hands on the 25MM sense I wanna stick to the same line of lenses.
The 7 artisans at T1.4 has the same brightness and bokeh as the Speed master at "T1".
@@Breonnickdamn thats insane
Great video Brandon! I'm looking forward to seeing what you capture with these lenses!
Probably just a bunch of clips of walking my dog haha
Those are some sweet little lenses! Definitely not something I should be picking up after the holidays though. Gotta resist 😐 awesome review, Brandon!
Thanks Dylan!
I’m like the polar opposite of Gerald undone!! 😂😂 that makes two of us!! But love watching his and your channel!
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Definitely considering these lenses now!!
Super tiny and super fun! Hope you’re doing well kid
Do you ever consider "FUN" being a reason to purchase gear? Let me know what you think of these lenses.

@@erickbrigham That is incredibly incredibly; kind of you Erick. Thank you for the kind words.
Looking forward to slapping the 50mm on my fx30, which will crop in to 75mm full frame equivalent.
Good stuff man, I have a set of the visions and I love them. Super fun fast lens.
Nice! They are a lot of fun and the size is rad
@@caffeinatedcameras The size is crazy. So easy to toss in a bag and go shoot.
Solid video man! I'm going to look into this lens.
Thank you so much for watching and the comment:) If you were going to start I'd say maybe start with the 25.
Super informative vid! Looks great 👍
Glad you liked it!!

Thanks Tanner! Yeah man here in SLC where are you?
Thanks
You’re welcome!

Hahahahaha it was interesting for sure. But I appreciate you watching and that it was useful!
Really appreciate the sleek (visual) presentation of everything, great stuff!
Would you be willing to share how you created the zoom-in effect with shallow depth of field during the screen recording (e.g. at 3:03)?
That would be amazing 😊
Yeah it’s a plug-in from Motion VFX called Mycamrig
@@caffeinatedcameras Awesome, thank you so much! :))
Looks like all these are super 35 but very intriguing since I have both the R5C and the C70. Do you miss having them full frame on the R5C much?
Not really, cause I’ll just shoot in the 5.3k raw (super 35 format) when I use the R5C
I lick it 7artisans 25mm, 35mm lence.👍
They’re great lenses
Have 50mm t1.05 sharp at 1.4 amazing lens gona buy t2.0 series thet covers full frame 😊😁
Yeah my friend Josh just got the 50mm spectrum (the FF) and sent me a few photos. They look really nice!
Within the budget I can afford now: I'm in doubt between the 7Artisans Vision Kit or the S35 Meike Prime. Have you already tested these Meike lenses?
Haven’t tested those, sorry.
I've used DZO. A little more but love the lenses
I’ve been looking at both the Pictor Zooms and the primes. They look great.
@@caffeinatedcameras I used the Zooms and they work very well. Liked the look I got out of them paired with the RED Raptor
@@jmanchester Damn - the Raptor. The dream camera. But that's good to know! Thank you!
Do the T1.05 cover a full Frame sensor? (Lumix S5 user)
These are made for S35 - but if your camera has a s35 mode you can still use them.
Is it possible to mount this lens in a Panasonic lumi g7 M4/3?
Is the 25mm T1.05 comparable with the Fullframe 35mm T2.0 version?
Haven’t used it so I can’t say one way or another.
hey, great video, can i ask what transition did you use in 1:18 , its sick !
I believe it’s actually a VHS wipe that comes in FCP
So, do you recommend those lens set for more serious projects, such as music video clips or short movies? I'm choosing between 7artisans and Vespid Pictor zoom
For sure I recommend them, but only if the looks suits what you’re trying to shoot. I don’t really subscribe to cheap things can’t be professional if that makes sense
Is it possible to attach Moment Anamorphic adapter to them? If it possible it could be priceless cineline lens🎞️
Yeah for sure as long as you are attaching it to a lens that fits the focal length requirements.
Chromatic aberration is crazyyy though
at 1.0 for sure, not bad at anything 1.4 or more though. At least my copies aren't.
Do you happen to have a shot of them on full frame sensor anywhere? (even if they cause some vignetting?)
No the vignetting is too much
I have the zcam e2s6, are the mounts working for my camera? (can put on ef or pl)
You’ll have to check the website, but I don’t believe so.
I wanted to buy a 25 mm a few months ago but first save some money. It's already 576 now 😭
That one is the most expensive out of the set. I’d definitely try the used market
For some reason I can't find these in EF mount? Are you guys using adapters?
They are only in Mirrorless mount, so no EF.
What do you mean by Very fast aperture?
Helo?
A fast aperture means it lets in a lot of light. An T1.05 let’s in much more light than a T2.9 for example and is “faster”
How does the 12mm do with keeping lines straight?
I don’t remember but I’m shooting with it today so I’ll come back and let you know, but I doubt it’s gonna be Laowa good
What do you think between this and SLR Magic?
It’s a great question, but I have not used those lenses, sorry.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m assuming that you could adapt the RF versions to my EF cinema camera?
No unfortunately.
that why your video so unsharp ? Sirui nightwalker look the same though
They definitely don't look the same.
@@caffeinatedcameras yes, Sirui is better
Hi! Very interesting and informative, thank you. Am I right, the set also consists of lenses for APS-C. Can these also be used on the full format?
They could be used on full frame - but you would get awful vignetting. I’d just stick to super35/aps-c
Alexandru don did a video about that. I think 2 of them work surprisingly well.
@@kingsamvisuals Yeah like they will work, and I'm sure it depends on your sensor, but like on my R5C it vignettes hard. So I don't use it on that. On my komodo the 25 will vignette ever so slightly but it's not to the point where it bothers me.
Do they make an EF mount version?
They don’t, probably how they can keep the cost down.
can't find the EF mount for this artisan vision
Pretty sure they don’t make one.
Hello, I’m trying to get the 7artisans 35mm for my black magic 6k pro but I don’t know which Mount to get.
Help anyone?! Lol
Well you’re gonna need an EF mount, but they don’t make that, so you gotta find out what mount can be adapted to EF that they make.
How do you get the creative discount?
There’s an application you can fill out
All of the info here is great, but bro we can't just let you gloss over something called the B&H Creators Discount? You can't just slide past that! 😂 Do you know the requirements? I can't find details anywhere!
🤣🤣🤣 I honestly don’t know the requirements I just applied:)
Alexander caused me to buy the 25mm then i swapped it fir the 35mm Full frame 😂
Nice!
no es agradeble su video, parece que tiene un filtro LUT exagerado que quebra la imagen.
Cool.
I see only bad reviews for these lenses... Just saying.
Ok🤷🏽♂️
@@caffeinatedcameras So I said what I said. Get over it.
