7artisans35mm T2.0 Large Aperture Cine Lens Compatible for Sony E Mount

I haven't even had the chance to take the lens for a test run before running into issues, so I thought I'd leave this as a warning to anyone else who - like me - is planning to use this to build a basic DSLR/mirrorless rig for videography. This lens is built like a tank and seems reliable, but it's *short*. There's no way to use this with both follow focus and a matte box, unless you're using a very narrow follow focus unit or one that has an extension arm. (And even then, I have to wonder if there's enough room between the focus ring and the end of the lens to squeeze in a FF unit.) I'm not sure why someone would design a cine lens that's without room for these things in mind. It's a beautiful lens and solidly built, and if the reviews are correct, it provides good results for its price, but I was extremely disappointed to run into issues before ever even getting to shooting - buyer beware.

This lens has the characteristics of vintage lenses (easy flaring and aberrations), along with more modern sharpness. I used it on my Sigma FP.Pros: affordable price. Robust housing. Many native mounting options available. Very good sharpness. Low T-stop.Cons: color rendition is not neutral (correctable in post), flares and aberrations give it more vintage vibes.Full disclosure: I’m a lens enthusiast and own Nikkor and Vivitar lenses which I use for video. I also own 5 of the legendary Lomo Oks 1-xx-1 Cine lenses (comparable to Zeiss and Cooke optics). Many of the vintage lenses outperform this one and give a more interesting and balanced image. In terms of image quality, the optics here are comparable to Nikkor (AI) photo lenses.All in all, a nice lens to own but I won’t be building out a full set.

objetivo FF para usar con Panasonic S5, lente manual tipo cine de buenos acabados, carcasa metálica, controles de enfoque y apertura suaves, de gran recorrido el enfoque. Todavía no he probado su uso en ningún trabajo real, pero transmite buenas sensaciones.Como contra: no entiendo que a pesar de ser económica, lo más básico que sería que encaje perfectamente en la bayoneta de la Panasonic S5, pues no es así. Tiene un pequeño juego que hace que si la movemos con la mano baile en la montura, y al utilizar un follow focus (Magic Fizz de Smallrig) ocurre que se mueva la lente por la fuerza que tiene el motor sobre el engranaje. Tendrían que revisarlo y solucionarlo los de Artisans.
