Brightin Star 35mm 0.95 - Shock!

Wondering if you guys can also test the Voigtlander Nokton 35 1.2? Thanks for all you do 👏🏻

With those type of lenses are usually made for Leica M Cameras. When extending the lens hood out and looking thru the Rangefinder there is a small blockage of the scene. Not in the picture. So if you apply stabilization the vignetting should disappear especially in movie mode. Cheers!

Nice video chaps 😀

Nice 👍 I'm from India

Brightin Star 28mm F2.8 Full Frame Lens Black Lacquer Ultra-Thin Pancake Lens for Leica M Mount Sony E/Canon RF/Fuji XF/GFX/Nikon Z Adapter Ring $340 US. Saw a couple of reviews on it but a little heavier than a lens cap. Cheers!

Very intriguing lens i probably never would have considered. Might be particularly good for night street scenes that don’t require freezing motion. I too have the Nikon 40mm f2.0, but could see adding this in to the kit.

Come on you two had a good channel and now this.

I honestly love the rendition and the warmer colour tone. The lens looks very pretty as well and would compliment either the Z f or the Z fc very nicely. I have also come to expect good build quality from Chinese manufacturers, and I I genuinely feel they make photography very fun. Thanks for the review and samples gentlemen.

Best lens I have for b&w street photography. Specially with my zf. Not a lens for auto focus lammers

Steptoe & Son have delivered the goods. This sounds excellent. 👍

ZF owner here, So how do you focus with it in manual without the lens having any information sent to the camera?

I bought a Brightin Star 35mm f0.95 a year ago and I have to say that I am really surprised by its performance. At 0.95, it is even sharper than my Voigtländer D35mm f1.4. Its only 'flaw' is chromatic aberration, but once you learn to live with it or correct it in post-processing, this lens is truly wonderful for general use and night portraits.

honestly i would pay a few hundred more for auto focus -better than $7k for nikon version

Hey were most these photos shot in DX mode? they look more zoomed in/cropped ...i imagine the subject would look further away in full frame mode at 35mm and with a minimum focus distance of like 1.25' -for example your face pictures look really close.

i've been looking into all these chinese lenses since this video and gotta say Im lovin them! .... just wanted to point out the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 III Lens if you haven't seen it yet! seems super dope

7artisan has the exact same lens in its lineup. I guess this is made by a Chinese company who then OEN's it to other brands. If you want a small 40 mm lens then the Viltrox is a good choice. It is sharper than the Nikon 40mm. And you know you can set your Zfc to APS-C mode. That would give you a 52mm inch equivalent field of vieuw and probably better for portraits.
