The focus ring is also knurled, like those of some of the Voigtlander lenses. The throw between 3.0 m and infinity is pretty short and I found setting precise focus at wider apertures rather fiddly in this distance range. The constructrion in itself is also very slightly wobbly, so there is a tiny bit of slack when changing the direction of rotation of the focus ring.<\/p>\n<p>The aperture ring is one of the most interesting I have seen so far, but why is that? It features half-stop(?) click-stops between f\/1.4 and f\/2.8 (no f\/2.0 marking), one-third-of-a-stop click-stops between f\/2.8 and f\/4.0, full-stop click-stops between f\/4.0 and f\/8.0, nothing at f\/11 and a last click-stop at f\/16. I found this rather confusing and it makes setting a desired aperture value without looking at the lens a bit complicated. The aperture ring travels ~90\u00b0 from f\/1.4 to f\/16.<\/p>\n<p>The lens seems to be made from metal, but &#8211; except for the distance scale markers &#8211; all the markings are only printed on. There is also a typo here, as it says &#8220;MUTI COATED&#8221;. Not the first lens with a typo on the casing, probably also not the last.<\/p>\n<p>What bothered me more: except for the focus and aperture ring the barrel is not structured, so removing and attaching the lens is as annoying as it is with a Zeiss Loxia lens without the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-pocketpano-loxia-lens-grip\/\">PocketPano LensGrip<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-85mm-5-6-21-macro\/\">Laowa 85mm 5.6<\/a> (to only name a few).<\/p>\n<p>The lens is a standard unit focus design and the front element does not rotate, so using a polarizer is a hassle free operation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36705\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36705\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36705\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pergear_35mm_1.4_hood.jpg\" alt=\"pergear 35mm 1.4 f\/1.4 review sony e fe fullframe e-mount a7riv a7rv a7riii a7rii 42mp 61mp sharpness contrast review coma vignetting bokeh\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pergear_35mm_1.4_hood.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pergear_35mm_1.4_hood-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pergear_35mm_1.4_hood-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pergear 35mm 1.4 with 43mm screw in vented-hood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pergear shipped the lens to me with what looks like a generic 43mm vented lens hood.

The center is a bit soft at f\/1.4 to f\/2.0 but improves steadily on stopping down and looks great from f\/4.0. The corners look very good at f\/5.6, but an area before that shows noticeably worse performance. Even at f\/8.0 the performance doesn&#8217;t match that of the corners here due to the aforementioned field curvature.

the performance will probably be sufficient, but if you are using a high resolution camera and you like to zoom in to look at all the details you may not be completely happy with this

In the seagull picture you can see how the water is way more in focus close to the edges of the frame. Same is true for the bridge as well as the landslide in the background. You can also see it with the toolboard in the third picture and maybe even more so with the lights in the fourth one.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is something I am not a fan of but also something that happens with many other, way more expensive lenses, e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-ms-optical-50mm-1-1-sonnetar\/\">MS-Optics 50mm 1.1 Sonnetar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-45mm-0-95\/\">Laowa 45mm 0.95 Argus<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-brightin-star-50mm-0-95-fe\/\">Brightin Star 50mm 0.95<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t sound all that great, does it? But we need to put things into perspective here. While this Pergear doesn&#8217;t produce the smoothest bokeh I have ever seen coming from a 35mm 1.4 lens, it is actually totally fine for most applications and in most scenarios the issues described above will be hardly noticeable, especially if you are used to using slower zoom lenses mainly.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunstars<\/h2>\n<p>This Pergear 35mm 1.4 is using an aperture diaphragm made of 10 rounded aperture blades. Being rounded coupled with non-perfect alignment the sunstars don&#8217;t look that great to me.<br \/>\nIf you want to know more about sunstar rendering of different lenses have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/best-lenses-for-sunstars\/\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We also again see the flare issues here, especially at wider apertures.<\/p>\n<p><div

But this would be only one side of the medal. As with every product we should not only consider its performance, but also its price\/performance ratio &#8211; unless you are rich of course, but if you are, you are probably not interested in this lens anyway.<\/p>\n<p>For the asking price of $129 you are getting a lof of lens. Yes, it is not the sharpest lens. Yes, bokeh isn&#8217;t great in every scenario. Yes, flare resistance could be better. But how many of the pictures you take with this lens will <em>actually<\/em> be ruined by these things? Looking through all the pictures I took with this lens I&#8217;d say: not that many.<\/p>\n<p>This lens will not be of much interest to those that already have fancier, more expensive 35mm lenses, but it can be a great option for those that don&#8217;t. Especially if you are mainly using a midrange or superzoom like the Sony 24-105mm 4.0 or Tamron 28-200 or even one of the 28-70mm 2.8 lenses, this Pergear can greatly expand the capabilities of your kit without weighing you down or breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36698\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36698\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
