I tend to start these articles by writing about how long it has been since I last did a post. I never mean for it to take so long between my writing sessions, but the fact of the matter is life always gets in the way. It’s no secret that coronavirus keeps the world in an iron grip, and as a doctor obviously my main focus is on my clinic during these busy times. Anyway, it’s time for a review of a new piece of gear that is not from Fujifilm. It’s a new lens just released by a company called 7artisans. I did a review on their very cheap, yet very cool 35mm f1.2 back in the beginning of the year. You can go read that here.
Since then I have bought their 75mm f1.25 lens for my Leica M system and I enjoy that lens very much. They are putting out a massive amount of lenses at the moment that all seem to have a common denominator which is excellence in both build- and image quality. It’s no secret that I enjoy shooting very fast lenses, but I mean… who doesn’t? So when I saw that they announced the new 35mm f0.95 for different APSC systems, including Fujifilm X-mount, I knew I had to try it.
I already own the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 mk2, which I absolutely adore. (You can go read my review from a couple of years ago here.) So I was curious to see whether or not the 7artisans would hold up against one of my all-time favourite 35mm lenses for the Fujifilm X-series system
