Sample shots are a bit underwhelming.
yes maybe, but a trained eye can see how its rendered.
Actually, I took a look. Yeah, not to impressed as images seem soft. But then again, it looks like this pictures were taken on a showroom floor. Not exactly the most promising venue for sample shots. I doubt it will be all that sharp wide open. For the price though it’s enticing, but I think the better option is still the 45mm 1.8.
Has anyone but reviewers actually got an acceptable copy? I constantly read in forums about QC problems with those lenses. Probably why they are changing brands all the time.
what other brands did they use then?
Mitakon.
ehm..they still using that one label ..just check their site…nothing fishy here.
I reacted on their offer looking for reviewers, but not sure if my reply got thru
looking forward for some reviews and samples!
The price is bargain basement. If it can put out like the 45mm 1.8 then it has some serious potential in the market. We need more reviews, but I’m interested no doubt.
I think its hard to compete against the 45 1.8, which is imo the best for its price, like a noble/advanced version of the plastique fantastique canon ef 50mm f/1.8. I do hope the 42.5 will look great at f/1.2 in typical diffuse outdoor moody portraits and full body shots, where it might outdo the f/1.8
Can I say something? W don’t need more reviews at all. We need some samples to test ourselves. The net is full of shills trying to sell un expensive junk.
Like nano four thurds crap for example. Got it.
Yeah, that’s sorta what I meant to imply.
I had put up a pre-order for both of ’em anyways. Can’t really go wrong for that kind of money.
I’m not expecting the 42.5mm f/1.2 to be anywhere as good as the Leica counterpart, but for a fraction of the price you’ll probably come pretty closer to it than just a fraction. Don’t really need a 24mm f/1.7, since I’ve got that pretty much covered by a bunch of lenses, but I’m a sucker and couldn’t resist.
as long as the wife agrees say most obeying husbands 🙂
Post pics when you get it:)
