Brightin Star 35mm F0.95 APS-C Manual Focus Prime Lens for Fujifilm XF-Mount Mirrorless Cameras, Large Aperture Fixed Lens, Fit for XT5, XT4, XT30, XPRO3/1, XT200, XS10, XA7, XE4, XH1(Black)

I've tried pretty much all the ultra-fast 35mm lenses on my Fuji system. Most of them have been quite good, especially when stopped down to f/2.8 or f/4, but my copy of Brightin Star 50mm/0.95 is a cut above the rest. Even wide open, performance is surprising, showing good center sharpness. There's a slight contrast reduction and a bit of haloing at f/0.95, always to be expected with an ultra-fast lens, but it is still quite useable, and actually offers a very pleasing, vintage look to photos. By f/2, it's very sharp in the center, with sharpness falling off towards the edges of the frame. Out of focus areas are nicely rendered with smooth transitions, and the bokeh is lovely. Solid 5 stars for both performance and value. If I could, I'd give it a sixth star because it has a click-stop aperture ring, which I very much appreciate.

I can’t praise it enough. Incredibly sharp, beautiful and smooth bokeh. The separation of subject and background is amazing, and at this price it’s a true value.It’s tough, light enough for an all metal build, and mine came with a plastic lens cap replacement for the metal slide off cap that comes with it as a standard - that was dope as hell

I’ve used this lens for around 2 weeks and it’s become a favorite of mine. Manual focusing is a tricky skill but it’s gotten easier over time. I have been using this alongside the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and the Brightin Star lens is sharper and faster (they do get similar results the more you stop them down). The only time I would opt for the Sigma instead is if I need autofocus (I do need to update the firmware as it’s a little unreliable on my R7 right now).I’ve used several manual lenses on my Canon R7 since there aren’t many options for lenses especially 3rd party so I definitely recommend this one as it has phenomenal optics and you won’t fire a faster lens than this. It’s tricky to nail focus at .95 but when you do, it’s very sharp.It came recommended to me by some other YouTubers who raved about it and they were t wrong.It’s perfect for street photography since it’s small. As opposed to most of my lenses, it adapts natively to my Canon since it comes in an RF mount. That really lessens the footprint. It is a little heavy since it’s made of all metal but not having an adapter more than balances things out.If you’ve never tried a manual lens before but are in the market for a fast, all around solid lens, I’d say get this one over spending over twice as much for the Canon 35mm 1.8. Autofocus is always great but if you don’t shoot moving subjects, I think you’ll find this lens and other manual focus lenses lead to more thoughtful photography.

I enjoy using budget manual lenses, so I took the chance to try out the Brightin Star 35mm F1.2 even though there were no reviews available, in hopes of finding a new gem. While the lens has its particular qualities, especially with the background blur and rich colors, the softness of the image quality keeps this from being my new favorite budget lens.The lens is weighty feeling for its size, signifying the all metal build. The focus and aperture rings are nicely damped, though a bit scratchy out of the box. The aperture ring is declicked, which is good for those shooting video. The primary reason you get a fast lens like this is to blur out the background (bokeh), and this lens certainly does a good job of this, with soft creamy bokeh in garden shots that bring out the main subject. The colors are rich and vibrant, and this is one of the primary strengths of this lens. I've included multiple images taken with the lens as samples.Unfortunately, the lens also exhibits softness in the image quality when you look more closely, especially with high contrast lines. There is some fringing that limits the resolving power and causes fine details to get lost. You can see this in some of the indoor close-up photos I've included. This can give subjects a "dreamy" feel, which some might appreciate. But a clinically sharp lens this is not.And that's one of the things with cheap manual lenses: they have personality, and part of the fun is learning the personality of the lens and seeing what kind of shots it works well, while understanding that it will have limitations that make it not work so well with other shots. So hopefully this review gives you a sense of what the "personality" of this lens is like, and help you in deciding whether to add it to your kit.

With such a great f stop, if this was an autofocus lens it should be $2K. Build quality was WAY higher than expected, lens is a little heavy, but it has fantastic action, and I'm enjoying the manual focus way more than I thought I would!

Despite the listing, this is not a full frame lens. Although this fits on full frame cameras, like the Sony A7iii, the camera will need to be switched into APS-C mode in order to use it.This should be listed as an APS-C lens as any APS-C lens can be used on full frame cameras but the result will be a downgrade in resolution or a heavy vignetting. I'll admit the posting discloses it in a small asterisk, however they should be far more forthcoming with that information.If you own a full frame camera I recommend saving your money.

Mon Sony RX1 ressemble maintenant à une Leica Q3!

Perfect lens and amazing pictures takes.

Por un precio tan bajo da muy buenos resultados pero recomiendo usar en foto modo RAW (todo luce hermoso). En video lo uso con mi Panasonic en modo V Log y el resultado igualmente es hermoso. No hay distorsión de colores. Muy recomendable

For the price you pay its a great lens, I wouldnt Pay more as it does have some characteristics of a budget lens that being said it does take very sharp crisp pictures especially in low light.

BEFORE YOU BUY THIS LENS, PLEASE NOTE: there is an error in lens description. THIS IS NOT A FULL FRAME LENS. It is ASP-C LENS.Good built quality, good optics, very bright (F0.95!) and not expensive. I am using it wit Nikon Zfc.Designed to be used in MANUAL (M) mode which means you have to set focus, aperture, shutter and ISO on your own to obtain desired results using your camera light meter. Works also with other camera settings, except Auto, but don't forget to register non CPU lens in your camera settings.
