Contained was the lens, with a simple metal lens cover, a lens pouch and a stick-on focusing tab. The box that the lens arrived in was a nice simple black box. Build and feelīefore we get into this I just want to remind you again that this lens will cost you about half of a solid couple of headphones! It cost me less than if I’m going grocery shopping for some friday night dinner guests! Just to get some perspective as to what can be expected! For now, let’s start looking at the 7artisans 35mm f/1.2. Those are the 35mm lenses that I have narrowed my collection down to, since I feel that they all bring something interesting to the table. Now, I will try a do a walkthrough of what I like and dislike about this lens, and I will also compare it to the Fujinon XF35mm f/1.4, the Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 mk2 and the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.4 M-mount. But opening the package was only the first of many pleasant surprises with this lens! X-Pro3 | 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 approx f/5.6 Needless to say my expectations for the build quality were quite low given what I paid for the lens. I paid a mere 130USD for it! Never in my life had I thought that it would be possible to buy a lens with such a fast aperture at that price point. I seriously could not believe how cheap this lens was. Then I stumbled on a post again from Peter recently, and it must’ve hit me at the right point in time – because 7 minutes later I had done an eBay checkout, and was waiting for the lens to ship from UK. Mostly coupled to either his X-Pro1 or X-Pro2, he produces some stunning visuals with the lens! I have so many lenses, so even though he had praised it for its character, I didn’t feel that I could justify yet another purchase of a 35mm lens for my Fujifilm X system. My fellow danish Fujifilm X shooter Peter Drastrup have been using the 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 for about a year now.
