Pergear 35mm f1.2 Review | Best One So Far
The Pergear 35mm f1.2 is a compact APS-C lens designed with a bright aperture for a very shallow depth of field and low light shooting.
When looking at character and performance, this lens is packed with beautiful imperfections, as well as the regular kind. With the limitations in mind, it can produce some nice results and it can be a lot of fun in the right situations.
Pergear 50mm f1.8 Review & Sample Photos
The Pergear 50mm f1.8 is an all manual all-metal, compact 50mm APS-C lens with a 75mm equivalent field of view. This lens produces a classic rendering with great micro-contrast and some very impressive sharpness, no distortion, and almost no vignetting. It's a great street lens or portrait lens especially for photographers looking to take advantage of lens flares and blooms.
Pergear 50mm f1.8 | Sharpest Budget Lens
First impressions of the Pergear 50mm f1.8 a lens that is surprisingly sharp for the price and has pretty great performance all around.
Pergear 25mm f1.8 Impressions | A Ton Of Fun
First Impressions and sample photos of the Pergear 25mm f1.8. A micro-contrast beast with some cool portrait capabilities, but not showing limitations with sharpness.
Pergear 35mm f1.6 Impressions | Better Than Expected
Over the next few months, I'm going to be taking a look at the Pergear lenses for the APS-C camera systems. One of my favorite cheap lenses of all time is the Meike 35m f1.7 so I'm curious to see what else out there is similar, and can we do better.
This brings us to the Pergear 35mm f1.6 - A pretty dang cool lens so far.

Fujifilm X-T2 vs Fujifilm X-T3 | ISO and Dynamic Range
There has been a lot of discussion around the Fujifilm X-T2 vs the Fujifilm X-T3 regarding low light performance and dynamic range.
For my tests, I waited for Adobe Lightroom to support the X-T3 since that is what most people use. I did not want to use some funky software to put out bogus results for the sake of being first to the scene.
So here we are, tests from Adobe Camera Raw.
Kipon IBELUX 40mm f0.85 Mark II Review & Sample Photos
Without a doubt the Kipon IBELUX 40mm f0.85 is one of the most interesting lenses for APS-C shooters to date. This is currently the brightest lens on the market as well as the fastest. For APS-C shooters that miss the depth of field and low light performance of full frame cameras, you'll find all that here. A 35mm equivalency would give you something like a 60mm at f1.2.
Rokinon 50mm f1.2 Review & Sample Photos
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.
