In fact, for the past five months, my posting has slowed down a bit because I’ve been pre-occupied with changing things up a bit, and a lot of it has to do with my SL.

So that’s that, I feel like it’s a little cheaper than a Rokinon / Samyang lens because their lenses at least go a few months before falling apart.Flip your iPhone or Android phones or your latest tech stuff and “Made in China” is shown quite clearly even though the design of the phone may come from some other place. may not quite match more expensive lenses in these areas, the quality is much better than I expected from a 35mm equivalent f1. As for flare, depending on how you angle it towards the sun, it may exhibit the occasional flare but overall, I didn’t have many issues with this. The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. Likewise, owning the Meike 35mm made me realized that 35mm is my sweet spot so I had to sell it to get myself a better lens, the Fuji 35mm f/1.

The Jewel’s dome does not have much of a straight line so a fish-eye shot looks quite natural so long the waterfall and the train tracks on the right are straight. Although you can do multiple exposure panorama with a typical wide angle lens, stitching might have an issue in post processing stage. It has a silver ring at the front which makes the style even more fitted with the whole vintage look that Fujifilm cameras roll with. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, compact, manual focus with short focus throw, good looking and have a bit of character in terms of image quality.If I stop it down to f16, the vignetting goes away, the bluish tinge fades, but the lens isn’t very sharp (I’ve reduced the size of the photo here a lot, but the sharpness was poor in the original unscaled photo). The lens is all metal and glass, no obvious creaks and squeaks when turning the rings, and the focus ring is super well dampened, easy to turn and easy to stop, making focus adjustments a breeze, especially compared to Fujifilm's implementation of focus by wire on most of their lenses.

Other characteristics worth mentioning is that there is some barrel distortion, and some noticeable vignetting. Be sure to thoroughly inspect your lens after receiving it as you may need to exchange your lens for another copy. shouldn’t be a large lens that all the modern mirrorless camera manufacturers are gleefully doing despite trying to be small with all their lenses.However, for the times when I am shooting wide open, I found focus peaking isn’t enough; so I’ll magnify the image in the viewfinder, and use it with focus peaking.

Macro review, and I will post it in the beginning of next week but now, I’m going to talk to you a little about the Photoelectric 25mm f1.is a great lens to bring along with you all day not just because of its size and weight but also because of its focal length, and aperture speed. It may sounds like a bad thing when you need to quickly get into focus but it helps to fine tune the focus especially shooting at f1. For precise focusing i should always press the magnification button, and while i’m focusing i miss the whole frame 🙂 Then i’m going back to full view, framing again, then press the magnification, focusing, full view again, …. Coatings are better, and adapting a lens nearly always adds in softness or internal reflections that cut the image quality.
