I watch a lot of reviews and dive into weird quirky lenses quite often. I decided to pick this lens up because I love the 35mm focal length and the f/1.4 is a very fast lens. I have to say, I have only taken this lens off one time which was to put on the 50mm f/1.05 7Artisans lens (review coming soon). I am in love with this manual lens, it makes you work harder for your composition and you become more intentional as every shot counts and you can easily miss something if you’re not paying attention. This lens reminds me of shooting film so much, it makes you want to go out and shoot and that is always my favorite type of gear. I would highly recommend this lens considering it is only $199 as of now and it is a competitor of the leica summilux 35mm 1.4 and I do not see why you would not purchase something so inexpensive that puts out great quality images. This lens is not as sharp as a summilux however, it has amazing lens flares and lots of character. These are a few things I look for in lenses to separate yourself from everyone else. This lens is unique, light weight and very fun to use. I hope these samples bring it justice.
