I just picked this up for my Fujifilm system and couldn't be happier. It's my first manual focus lens and is so much fun to use and produces amazing images... I ordered the 35 1.4 and waiting on delivery.

I have since sold all of my Fuji gear for Leica Rangefinders and purchased the TTArtisan 50mm M mount version and it's very good also, but very heavy at 14oz and thats not what I was after. I wanted to keep the kit small and sold it for a Zeiss 50mm f2 Planar.

@TheRealRichardWong

TTArtisan would be brand new so don't have the risk of buying a bad copy of the FD as it's quite an old lens and it's a bit smaller too. But the build quality of the Canon is a bit better from memory.

Thank you for this review. Unfortunately the focal length of 50 mm with MFT sensor format is not a good choice for poeple photography. It's a tele lens, that's hard to focus manually. I'm waiting for a similar fast lens with a focal length under 20 mm.
@TheRealRichardWong
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Andreas, i would disagree and say the 100mm equivalent focal length is traditionally popular for portrait. A lot of protrait lenses are 85/105/135mm focal length. For example, one of the famous protrait photo "Afghan Girl" was shot on the Nikkor 105mm 2.5 AIS lens which is virtually equivalent to this TTArtisan lens

I own the Nikon AIS and wondering if I wouldn't notice any difference or do you remember your Nikon being better or worse in one of those areas. I just looked and the specs are almost identical between this and the Nikon AIS, interesting. So just price is different. So being cheaper maybe one to throw in the bag without care as its at the cost of a good filter. Hope that makes sense. David

I would argue it depends. Some people really care about the photo is sharp and nice so a lens like this is not really suitable for them. But some people just want the shallow DOF or the better low light performance and not too worry about the sharpness as long as it's useable.

Actually there is a long tradition of using softer lenses for portraiture, especially for women. Classic Hollywood portraits are a good example. If you are getting tack sharp details of every pore and line in someone's face, you should ask why you are capturing that level of detail. It may, or may not, be appropriate for the portrait or the subject. For nature and scientific photography, sure, you want as much detail as possible to reveal what we cannot easily see with our own eyes. But for portraits, sometimes a lens like this one could be great. I have not shot with it, so can't say for sure what results would be possible, but I might consider one precisely for certain photos i.e. softer headshots.
