Getting the Medium Format Look > Utopy on small sensors ?
PascallacsaP replied to andreariccieu's topic in Fuji X Lenses
These were shot with the Mitakon 35mm (mk II) @ f/0.95 (on an X-Pro2): Another eyes session 1 by Pascal van Gerven, on Flickr Eyes session 1 by Pascal van Gerven, on Flickr I like this lens a lot! It's a bit heavy, yes, but compact and who cares about that anyway with this type of photography? Manually focusing the lens can be a challenge, but less so if the subject cooperates... ;-) The lens is tack sharp wide open. No complaints. These were shot very close to the subject, by the way: 0.5 to 1 meter. Note that the DOF of this lens at maximum aperture is essentially comparable to that of a 50mm f/1.4 lens on FF. -

Jonas Rask's review of the Mitakon 35mmF0.95
PascallacsaP replied to PascallacsaP's topic in Fuji X Lenses
The razor-thin DOF wide open could actually be a challenge at closer focusing distances. My personal use of this lens would be "medium" focusing distances, such as with whole-body environmental portraits. At these distances, the DOF should be workable. I personally like this example (not my own, because I don't own the lens): Untitled by Cat Zheng, on Flickr For me, this photo shows the real potential of the Mitakon. After all, for close-up, shallow-DOF portraits, we already have the XF56 and XF90. Thanks for the YouTube review, by the way. I have seen it before but I like Jonas Rask's review better, simply because he's a great photographer. -

Very very nice! You can be proud of this one indeed!

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

I always find it a challenge to get the eyes of a subject sharp right on the irises (and not, e.g., on the eyelashes). This becomes just a bit easier if you get really close, for example, with the XF90mmF2. Anyone want to share really close-up portraits?
