PERGEAR50mm F1.2 APS-C Large Aperture Manual Focus Fixed Lens Compatible with Fuji X-Mount Camera

I got this Lens shipped few weeks back and got to try it for the past few days. As a Vetaran Photographer over the years using many favourite Manual Lenses including Zeiss, Voightlander, Nikon AIS and Monilta MD Rokkors this Lens is absolute value for money in every respect.The Built quality is top notch, the Aperture Ring moves in a divine way with smooth delicate clicks and the most important the Image rendering has a Cinematic look and 3D Pop found in more expensive Lenses from the day. This is my second TT Artisans Lens and looking to adapt a Leica Version to Fuju X soon.My only string suggestion would be to ship the Lens with its dedicated Lens Hood which cannot be found easily online from any sources.

Having used the lens in all sorts of conditions, I have been pleasantly surprised by its sharpness wide open, and how easy it was to focus on the Fuji X-E2s. The ring is a bit stiff, but for such a fast lens, it's actually perfect to make precise adjustments. Nothing feels loose, everything is very well greased. The image is very sharp in the center, where it loses only very slightly on the very edges of the corners. The aperture ring is clicky (finally!) so for us photographers, it's great. Half stops throughout.Something that I enjoy less are the aperture blades profile. It doesn't f/1.2 and f/1.7, but from f/2 to f/5.6 it produces a weird shape to some out-of-focus elements (IE street lights on a dark evening, LED's,). For critical use, use f/1.2 at night (why wouldn't you) or go all the way down to f/8, where it is very sharp for the price.Pros and cons of the lens:Pros:- Very solid in hand- Great image quality- Excellent value. Under 200 for this good a lens is hard not to recommend!- Build quality is comparable to what it was 60 years ago, which means worlds ahead of the plastic bodied lenses we have todayCons:- Manual focus can get tiresome- Quite heavy. It can throw off the balance ever so slightly on smaller cameras (Fuji X-E & X-A Series, Sony a5100 & a6000 Series, Canon M100 Series, those kind) but that's to be expected- The screw-on lens cap, albeit very solid, is the absolute worst thing they make. Either make it slip-on, or just include a plastic clip-on. I throw it in my bag without one because I have a filter on it.I do recommend the lens. It's great fun, and a fantastic performer for portrait and general use. Deserves its 5 stars!

I really like this lens. It was exactly what I was looking for and such a reasonable price.I bought a prime lens previously for around £400 and just didn’t do what this lens does. Very happy! I use it on my Fuji Xt-1.

I'm using this on a 40MP Fujifilm X-H2 and this really performs. Absolutely amazing image quality, and spectacular bokeh. The only downside (if you want to call it that) is that it is 100% manual lens.Genuinely incredible. If you are thinking about buying one, do it. You won't regret it.

前に7artisanのレンズを使ってたけど重くて大変だった、写りは綺麗だったけど三脚が倒れて壊れてこのレンズを買いました。f値を変えるとカチカチ音がしていい感じです。色がただ少し青っぽく感じるのは何かの設定がいけないせいだろうか？でも、気に入っています。単焦点レンズの方がズームより面白いから好き。

Very nice portrait lens if you are use to manual focusing. Great clicked aperture ring! Smooth focus ring properly damped. Solid metal construction. Nice look. Feels a bit front heavy on my Fuji X-E4, I guess it would be better with the Fuji grip added on camera. More easy to handle on my X-T2. Hard to beat for the price!
