Straight off the bat the huge size, weight, price, my personal preference for 28mm/50mm primes as a first resort doesn't make it my cup of tea but it does seem to be unbeatabley supreme optically, particularly with today's mirrorless...
Since I appear to be the only one intrigued by this move by Nikon, I'll just say here that I find the announcement of this lens pretty fascinating.

So,
On October 3rd, 2023 in my haste to get everything packed up in the car for our "move-in" to the new house, I left the bag with my X-Pro2 mounted with a XF35mm f1.4 mounted on it on the floor in the garage next to the wheel of the car.
Once I was backing out, there was this noise, so I...

I have long lived under the impression that 35mm is not a very strong FL in Nikkor lenscape. The old 35mms are bad or overpriced one way or another, (correct me if I'm mistaken!:)) the 35 f/1.4 G is apparently good but it's a G lens, not suitable for film cameras.
Suggestions and discussion...
I recently received a CV 35mm LTM f/1.7 and the advice that it is a good lens. I have been using an old Canon 35mm LTM f/2.0 (Black) with pretty good results. And I have the CV 35mm f/1.4 Nokton II. So why not compare them? I threw in an old '51 Jupiter-12. They are in order Canon, CV...
In town (London) for the pro Palestine protest to see what I could get out of it using this camera/lens combo. Pleased with the outcome. I just take pictures, so I make no comment of the politics other than to say "There are people and there is politics". Unfortunately, the ones who get hurt...
More nightclub shots from Electrowerkz in Islington North London. The first 4 are real people but backgrounds and a couple of bits (like the web) were added in PS Generative Fill. It's quite good fun....addictive actually! Nice bunch of people there. 3 floors of boom boom boom music and...
This is just a quick first impressions with the Yongnuo 35mm f/2 AF lens for Nikon F-mount. I recently picked up a D7500 to shoot my kids' soccer games, because I wanted the APS-C crop without having to lug around bigger FF lenses. I liked the camera so much I wanted to get a small prime for it...
Hi :)

First photos with this lens on my E-M5.2. Inevitably at f1.4...I'll give it a bit more of a test tomorrow but the lens feels like a quality item. Solid metal construction and very smooth aperture and focus rings.

Finally ready to say farewell to this awesome working Color 35, as I want to get into the Barnack Leica fold. The shutter was...
Hi, this lens just stopped working. I think the focus motor is gone. It was squeaking a bit. Now nothing at all. I tried it on another body same thing. What's weird is I bought it new. But off ebay. Should have used it more. Is it worth repairing?
Will support anything from Medium Format to smart phones and everything in-between:
I particularly liked the power manual focus.

Going to take a little break from Leica for a minute - even though I think that I could shoot that wonderful machine forever!
So, Fuji X-Pro2 with primes! 16mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4, 56/1.2 and 90/2
If weather permits, will get some images posted as soon as tomorrow.
I think I have things sorted with this kit, so will be shooting exclusively with it for this week and with the Zeiss pair of lenses.
I'm also experimenting with the in camera JPG settings so shooting DNG+JPG - and this week will sick with the B&W settings for that as well.
A bit of cross...
As some are probably aware, I recently picked up an X-T1 , largely to try out the X-T series and see if I enjoyed it. Partly because money is tight, and partly because the idea of going full retro appealed with a "retro" body, my first (and currently only) X mount lens is the TTArtisan 35mm...
I intend to get at some point a better 35mm, I have the Samyang 2.8 which is nice and small but woud ike something better. I do not want to go down the 1.4 and faster route, preffering to keep size down. What is the general order of 35mm iq wise 1.8 and slower?
They really are knocking them out at the minute aren't they.

Picked one of these up from Amazon for £140. I previously tried the Neewer 35mm f/1.4 but returned that because it wasn't sharp until about f/5.6 and (more importantly) had a clickless aperture ring which I really struggled with. It was about half the price of this 7Artisans though.

My first (and currently only) AF lens for Sony FE. I bought it because its one of the cheapest lenses you can buy so it wouldn't be an expensive waste if I don't like it.
After just a few days of using it I absolutely love this lens. I don't think I ever been a fan of nifty fifties but this...
Heuou, again, I have been itching to retry my experiment with 35mm FF. Last year I bought (well more of traded in for) a Sony a7C as a one stop shop for family and portraits and a way to dip my toes in adapting vintage lenses (I love shooting with manual focus and I love interesting and...
I have three of these lenses, pristine. I have not priced them recently. I also have a LTM Nikkor 85mm f1.5 too.
I cannot find any listings for these lenses. I see one 35mm 1.8 with an asking price of $7500 on eBay. I see some sold 85mm 1.5's for over $3500.
Are these the going rates now? I...
Very excited about this new release from Cosina and knowing further lenses with native X mount will be on the pipeline.

I was testing some of my vintage Rolex dials for radioactivity with a dosimeter.
Out of curiosity, I pulled out some of my rangefinder lenses and tested them. I had one collapsible 50mm Summicron that I was almost positive was radioactive but it was not. So then I tried the 35mm f1.5 Canon and...
I'm not going to reiterate everything that's already been said and written online, but suffice to say that I already somewhat liked the first version enough to want to try the "improved" second version. I've had them both for a couple of months now and feel I can sum things up to maybe allow...

Apart from the 7a lens being too big (it probably shows in the viewfinder quite a bit), things are looking excellent for value-oriented buyers.
I don't know how many of you have been following the threads on RFF about the Chinese replica of the 1950's V1 35mm Summicron, but it has been ongoing for close to two years.
They set out to make a replica of the original Leica lens, right down to the almost unobtainable flint glass elements. I...
Just after having a lust after the revised Cosina design, the Voigtländer 35 Nokton Classic f/1.4 II (promised to fix the focus shift problems and it did), they now announce there's a new Voigtländer 35 Nokton f/1.2 III coming!
Now, like many I didn't really care for the 35 f/1.2 because it's a...
I posted this in a reply to a thread going on an entirely different subject. But it is worth a stand alone thread. This is a great read about Charlene Winfred's years shooting all of her personal work, and a lot of professional work, with only the 35mm 1.4. This article is also great about what...
I bought this lens 5 years ago, for 15 eur. At the time, I thought it might surprise me with image quality. It did.. Not necessarily in a good way. At that time, I had a Samsung NX1000, mirrorless camera. I wanted to test the lens, and see what the images would look like. Wide open, there isn't...
Limited in which cameras can use this lens because it does not have the AI notch cut out of the aperture ring, it does quite well, especially when stopped down a bit. Lovely on the Df and admirable on the Z6.
We've been very busy around home for the last few weeks. 'Just dawned on me that I hadn't posed some images I took with a then new Meike 35mm f1.7 Fuji mount lens. Another $79. exceptional lens - MeikeMK-35mm f/1.7 Lens for FUJIFILM X.
Very impressed so far. Very sharp, nice image rendering...
I've been searching for a cheap replacement for my Voigtlander 40mm 1.4 Nokton MC. While it was very sharp in the center, the field curvature softness was really starting to bug me due to the thick sensor stack of the Sony bodies. I've been looking at other alternatives such as the Voigtlander...
The A7s seems to have recently dropped in used prices, so I was able to get one from Adorama.com for a pretty good deal. I have been wanting to try one for some time, but wasn't sure it could compete with may A7ii.
What I have found so far is that I prefer the size of the A7s as well as the...
I had a blast today checking out my latest M mount lens, the 7Artisans 35mm f/2.
I must say I'm impressed; while it's of course no equal to more expensive lenses, it's a pretty good lens - and I enjoy the results. I also shot with two of my other 35mm M mount lenses, the Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4...
I dusted off my original owner Minolta XG-1 in 2015 and started shooting 35mm film again.
Retired the XG1 to the shelf and current shooters are a Nikon FE2 & F3/T along with a Yashica Electro 365 GSN rangefinder.
What 35mm film cameras are you shooting?
On vacation in PR this week. Brought along my X-T10 + 35mm F/1.4 combo. Added a Dicapac WP-S3 to my bag for some extra fun, shooting in water.
Here's a selection of what I've taken so far. More to come as the vacation progresses.
Or that's the idea anyway.
I shot 6 overlapping (portrait orientation) frames on 35mm Tri-X and merged in photoshop. This is taking hybrid film/digital process to the extreme. I think it looks pretty good for a first attempt.
