We rarely review APS-C lenses here, but I already reviewed the Laowa 9mm 2.8 APS-C lens so thought it might still be interesting to have a look at this NiSi 9mm 2.8 APS-C to be able to compare these two.
I am always interested in lenses from new manufacturers and this 50mm 1.4 Tilt from AstrHori is definitely a rather unique offering. But can this low priced fast 50mm tilt lens be taken seriously or is it more of a “fun” lens like the Lensbabies? Let’s find out in this review.
Many of us here at the Phillipreeve team acquire too many lenses (and sometimes also accessories) and with some of the manufacturers it also isn’t easily possible to return the review samples after we reviewed them, therefore a bunch of stuff is for sale now.
Update September 29th: added new items, reduced prices.
I will ship to all european countries and all prices are without shipping. If you live in Germany you can add 6€ for shipping, within EU should be around 16€.
Payment is possible via Paypal or Bank Transfer.
I will only ship insured with DHL. If you want to come to Stuttgart you can also check out the lens you are interested in in person and we have a little chat.
All the items come without warranty.
If you are interested leave a comment with your Email address and I will get back to you.
PS: I am also interested in buying a Kolari Modded Gen2 or Gen3 Sony camera located in Europe.
The following lenses are former review samples where the manufacturers weren’t able to provide return shipping labels. The money I get for these lenses will either go directly to the manufacturer or shall that not be possible will be donated to a good cause (e.g. animals or cancer research).
These lenses have only been used for the reviews, so the condition is as new.
TTArtisan 35mm 2.0 Apo (Leica M)
The lens that has been reviewed here. Comes with hood and caps.
The hood is slightly loose on this early production model, I added a bit of tape at the bottom to keep it in place, if you find a slightly thicker rubber seal that should also work. Rangefinder coupling accurate.
249€ + shipping
I already reviewed a few of Miyazaki Sadayasu’s lenses but I had yet to get my hands on his MS-Optics 35mm 1.4 Apoqualia. Thanks to a reader from France I now got the chance and I am very curious what the pictures taken with it will look like and what its quirks are. Let’s discover together in this review.
Lens is being tested on 42mp Sony A7rII and 24mp Leica M10
Kodak Gold 200 is something special these days. I don’t have the feeling it has ever been a highly praised 35mm film, but it is one of the few color films that is affordable and still widely available in 2022.
