The vignetting is pretty cool. It isn't that bad, really - certainly not unusable - and can be used to great creative effect. Is that shot of the tree and bushes outside the office building wide open?
The vignetting looks great. It's about the same amount I apply to my photos routinely. Guess that's 'cause I tend to put the main subject in or near the center of the frame.
I have a 7Artisans 35/0.95 for my Fujis. I haven't used it much but it's an interesting lens. I've only shot it wide open...can't make myself stop it down.
Maybe I should go back and review the Rules of Photography. But I think I threw the book away decades ago.
Man oh man do I dig the way this lens renders! It's really quite beautiful and reminds me of uncoated lenses from the 50s. Please consider putting this one into commission on your next portrait shoot, Kirk. I would really enjoy seeing how it handles headshots.
I'm enjoying their 50/2 with my new2me α7.ii - it's a placeholder while I contemplate their tilt lens, something I've never tried. I would never compete with David Muench but it might be amusing to give it a shot.
The vignetting is fun, but what really gets me is the way this particular lens renders. Weirdly, it reminds me of both the title and the mood of a borderline ancient Ingmar Bergman Swedish film from the 60's, "Through a Glass, Darkly", a rather dark dramatic film which dealt with, among other things, schizophrenia. The lens has, for me, an intriguingly dark way of rendering. My two favorites among the photos you posted are the back of the pickup truck, and the metal walkway ('Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here'). I've seen a lot of pickup trucks and a lot of photos of pickups, but this one is special for reasons I can't quite put into words. Suffice it to say that your lens really renders in an unusual and rather compelling way.
It would be a treat to see more of what you are doing - or could do - with this lens.

Biro. Yes.

Interesting how it has an exposure and a blur vignette at the same time.

Hi Timothy, That's exactly what I have in mind. I'm liking the way it renders shapes and texture.

I would love to see how this performs on your CL.
Thanks, Mark
