  • In this video I check out the 7artisans 55mm F1.4 II, which is a new version of the now 3-year-old lens that was my favorite budget manual lens for Sony APS-C.

    Hello Arthur great review as usual. I'm looking to buy a cheap manual portrait lens and confused between this and TTartisan 50mm F1.2. Which one do you suggest in terms of sharpness and bokeh.

  • @billycheng2800
    @billycheng2800 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Arther, thanks for your sharing. Your videos are very informative. I'm just thinking of buying a Chinese manual lens for low light portrait. At first I was attracted by the shortest focusing distance and round bokeh of the 55mm mark I. But then I'm afraid it is not as much sharp as Mark II or 50mm f1.2. Would like to hear from you.

    This was by far the reason I fell in love with manual prime lenses... My company name is Prime Pro Visuals... but now I have the Zeiss 55MM F/1.8 and that is the king of 55MM Lenses... my Mark1 is going on my mantle and I may use here and there for kicks

    • @buwaya4223
      @buwaya4223 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Any old film tele lens should work just as well with an adapter, cheap ones are widely available, and the quality ranges from acceptable to great. The sweet spot for manual lenses on mirrorless APS-C are things that aren't as good or easy to find in the old film lens stockpile. Wide angles, large apertures, etc.

    Sony suffers from internal sharpening algorythm as I see. You almost can get hurt by their hair :))
    I know that Sony cameras has several internal algorythms that can't be turned off. If you're a newbie then you must know it! (before entering this system)
