A gem of a lens
I can’t praise it enough. Incredibly sharp, beautiful and smooth bokeh. The separation of subject and background is amazing, and at this price it’s a true value.It’s tough, light enough for an all metal build, and mine came with a plastic lens cap replacement for the metal slide off cap that comes with it as a standard - that was dope as hell

Great all around lens, very sharp for the money
I’ve used this lens for around 2 weeks and it’s become a favorite of mine. Manual focusing is a tricky skill but it’s gotten easier over time. I have been using this alongside the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and the Brightin Star lens is sharper and faster (they do get similar results the more you stop them down). The only time I would opt for the Sigma instead is if I need autofocus (I do need to update the firmware as it’s a little unreliable on my R7 right now).I’ve used several manual lenses on my Canon R7 since there aren’t many options for lenses especially 3rd party so I definitely recommend this one as it has phenomenal optics and you won’t fire a faster lens than this. It’s tricky to nail focus at .95 but when you do, it’s very sharp.It came recommended to me by some other YouTubers who raved about it and they were t wrong.It’s perfect for street photography since it’s small. As opposed to most of my lenses, it adapts natively to my Canon since it comes in an RF mount. That really lessens the footprint. It is a little heavy since it’s made of all metal but not having an adapter more than balances things out.If you’ve never tried a manual lens before but are in the market for a fast, all around solid lens, I’d say get this one over spending over twice as much for the Canon 35mm 1.8. Autofocus is always great but if you don’t shoot moving subjects, I think you’ll find this lens and other manual focus lenses lead to more thoughtful photography.

Rich, gorgeous colors, but also image softness gives a certain personality to this lens
I enjoy using budget manual lenses, so I took the chance to try out the Brightin Star 35mm F1.2 even though there were no reviews available, in hopes of finding a new gem. While the lens has its particular qualities, especially with the background blur and rich colors, the softness of the image quality keeps this from being my new favorite budget lens.The lens is weighty feeling for its size, signifying the all metal build. The focus and aperture rings are nicely damped, though a bit scratchy out of the box. The aperture ring is declicked, which is good for those shooting video. The primary reason you get a fast lens like this is to blur out the background (bokeh), and this lens certainly does a good job of this, with soft creamy bokeh in garden shots that bring out the main subject. The colors are rich and vibrant, and this is one of the primary strengths of this lens. I've included multiple images taken with the lens as samples.Unfortunately, the lens also exhibits softness in the image quality when you look more closely, especially with high contrast lines. There is some fringing that limits the resolving power and causes fine details to get lost. You can see this in some of the indoor close-up photos I've included. This can give subjects a "dreamy" feel, which some might appreciate. But a clinically sharp lens this is not.And that's one of the things with cheap manual lenses: they have personality, and part of the fun is learning the personality of the lens and seeing what kind of shots it works well, while understanding that it will have limitations that make it not work so well with other shots. So hopefully this review gives you a sense of what the "personality" of this lens is like, and help you in deciding whether to add it to your kit.

Great
Great lens on my Lumix GX1. Solid and weighty alternative to my 20mm pancake and 45mm 1.8. Focus ring is nicely dampened and works well with focus peaking and MF assist. Fun wide open for low light or bokeh. Brings me back to my first 35mm Minolta XG7 in terms of slower and thoughtful process.

Not a Full Frame Lens, false Advertising
Despite the listing, this is not a full frame lens. Although this fits on full frame cameras, like the Sony A7iii, the camera will need to be switched into APS-C mode in order to use it.This should be listed as an APS-C lens as any APS-C lens can be used on full frame cameras but the result will be a downgrade in resolution or a heavy vignetting. I'll admit the posting discloses it in a small asterisk, however they should be far more forthcoming with that information.If you own a full frame camera I recommend saving your money.

Stunning Quality at a Budget Price!
I bought this lens for my MFT cameras because I've been happy with another twice as expensive 35mm f0.95 lens which I bought for my Sony E mount APS-C cameras. Oh boy, was I impressed by the quality of this Brightin Star lens! It totally exceeded my expectation in every way. Build quality is top notch with the only exception being the aperture ring not staying in the clicked slots very well (too much play). As to picture quality, I will let the attached pictures do the talking. All shots were taken wide open at f0.95.Update: Having watched a few reviews of this lens on YouTube where no one mentioned about the excessive play on the aperture ring, I decided to try another copy of this lens. And I now have a copy that is equally good optically, and mechanically perfect as well. I should take one star off for the quality control issue on the aperture ring but the optical quality of this lens is so good and the price is so low. I'd feel like a jerk if I did that. This company deserves a five star rating!

This is not M43 lens
Despite the description and the multiple places where it says fit m43 cameras it does not! It says on the actual lens "t mount" it is much bigger than m43 so you will need an adapter to use this lens.

Si lo recomiendo
Por un precio tan bajo da muy buenos resultados pero recomiendo usar en foto modo RAW (todo luce hermoso). En video lo uso con mi Panasonic en modo V Log y el resultado igualmente es hermoso. No hay distorsión de colores. Muy recomendable

Great budget Lens
For the price you pay its a great lens, I wouldnt Pay more as it does have some characteristics of a budget lens that being said it does take very sharp crisp pictures especially in low light.

Very sharp for such a fast lens
Sharp and a lot of contrast even wide open. Build looks really nice. If can live without auto focus this lens is a no brainer.

Decente por el precio
El lente es bueno pero requiere de buen manejo. Es más para filmar que para fotografía.
