Kipon 50mm f2.4 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 7, 2024
  • No comments
The Kipon IBERIT 50mm f2.4 is a full-frame mirrorless lens designed to function as a lightweight and compact prime. The IBERIT is constructed with an aluminum barrel, a copper core, and stainless steel components. Although the lens isn't that fast, the 6 elements in 6 groups produce a very beautiful image with a ton of pop and a very classic style of rendering with a lot of great character.

Kipon 35mm f2.4 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 7, 2024
  • 5 comments
The Kipon IBERIT 35mm f2.4 is a lightweight compact full-frame 35mm f2.4 mirrorless lens. It's constructed of an aluminum body with a brass and stainless steel core for a low weight design. While the Handevision 35mm f2.4 is not a very fast lens, its characteristics are very balanced with a classic style of rendering and an extremely versatile 35mm focal length.

Rokinon 50mm f1.2 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 2 comments
The Rokinon 50mm f1.2 (also sold as a Samyang 50mm f1.2), is an ultra fast, ultra bright 50mm APS-C mirrorless lens with a field of view equivalent to 75mm on Sony and Fujifilm cameras and 80mm on the Canon mirrorless cameras. It features excellent coatings for flare and ghost reduction and two aspherical elements for excellent corner sharpness and chromatic aberration control. This is the best all around manual 50mm lens I've tested in the native Fujifilm mount so far.

  • February 5, 2026
  • 10 comments
The 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 is a fast, compact APS-C lens that is excellent for all types of shooting conditions, especially available light. It features 6 elements in five groups that give nice color and contrast, great flare resistance and low distortion. With a 14 bladed rounded aperture, bokeh is smooth across all focal ranges. Overall, the 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 is an incredible value and a fantastic starter portrait lens or compact prime.

7Artisans 35mm f1.2 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 15, 2024
  • 4 comments
The 7Artisans 35mm f1.2 is a compact APS-C lens designed for mirrorless cameras. It's built with an all metal housing and a 9-blade rounded aperture with only 6 elements. I wouldn't consider this a pancake but it's very short. Performance according to specs isn't great, but the lens has some very beautiful character, especially wide open. So far, this is my favorite 7Artisans lens and it's a lot of fun to use!

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 vs 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 | Lens Comparison

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 3 comments
With cheap manual lenses from China and Korea growing in popularity, many people are wonder if they are worth it, or which to buy.  In this test, I compare the 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 to the KamLan 50mm f1.1. I also threw in a more expensive lens, the Rokinon 50mm f1.2, and the even more expensive Fujinon 56mm f1.2 as a control. Since Fujifilm is legend when it comes to lens design, it will be interesting to see how they compare.

Mitakon 35mm f0.95 II Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 11 comments
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm  f0.95 II is a relatively small but incredibly fast APS-C prime lens for mirrorless cameras. It's built of an all metal body with a declick aperture and an incredibly fast f0.95 aperture. The lens excels in low light conditions but also functions as a very beautiful art lens for incredible bokeh and shallow depth of field. Performance is all around good for a lens this fast and it will perform well in most situations.

Kipon Iberit 75mm f2.4 – Review & Sample PHotos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 15 comments
The Handevision 75mm f2.4 lens is a small lightweight manual lens designed for mirrorless camera systems including the Leica. The lens features 5 elements in 5 groups for incredible contrast and color rendering and a 6 blade rounded aperture for butter smooth bokeh at f2.4. You might be wondering, who is Handevision? are Handevision lenses good? Is this Handevision IBERIT 75mm worth it?

7Artisans 35mm f2 Lens Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 7, 2024
  • No comments
The 7Artisans 35mm f2 is an all metal full frame lens with 10 aperture blades designed for mirrorless cameras. When I first picked up the 7Artisans 35mm f2, I spent a few days shooting, walking maybe a total of probably 8-9 miles just shooting. After the first day before really reviewing the images, I just wasn't really impressed and wanted to send it back. Then I got into Lightroom and man, I have to say, I'm liking it.

Fujifilm 23mm f1.4 – Review & Sample Photos

  • 6 comments
The Fujinon 23mm f1.4 is Fujifilm classic. With the 35mm field of view and the f1.4 aperture, this lens can produce some amazing images in almost any situation. It's the bread and butter for many street photographers and is one of those lenses you'll never leave behind.
