Pergear 35mm F1.6 Manual Focus Prime Fixed Lens for Sony/Fuji and M4/3 Cameras

I have several 35mm prime lenses for m43. All are manual focus. The perspective on micro four thirds cameras is useful; either as a portrait lens at short distance in the home or as a "standard" lens that excludes close foreground to tighten up a composition.

There a c-mount 35mm lenses but these are very difficult to use as a stills camera lens as the aperture rings are placed too close to the camera body. Legacy film lenses are usually f2.8 or f3.5, and with adapters get to be very bulky. this native mount lens makes a much better option than either.

Colour, micro contrast and resolution on m43 is good. Mechanical action is better than a similar 35mm alternative for m43.;Fit a long lens hood and flare control is the fine except for direct sun in the frame.

So out of now 5 X 35mm lenses to choose from, the pergear is my best choice.

What can I say other than this lens is a great product, especially for the asking price. These new Chinese lenses are really good and can easily replace many of the old legacy lenses that we all like to adapt to our mirrorless cameras for that old school look. The sharpness is fine and the bokeh really nice. Built quality cannot be faulted.

I mainly got this lens for Twitch and Youtube Live streaming. I didn't want to spend huge amoun tof money on a 35mm but wanted that f/1.6 This was a great lens for that purpose.
I also went outside to do some testing and you can clearly see the image quality in my video. The bokeh is beautiful, and the sharpness, once you focus in on your subject, is clear. The lens does take some skill to use mainly because it is manual focus, which is the reason why I choose this lens for my Twitch/Youtube live streaming. Since you are just sitting there streaming you don't need autofocus. Just set and go.

Very Small but hefty. It feels like entirely metal construction. Feels much sturdier than your average prime. Smooth focus and a de-clicked aperture. The lens comes with a padded case for carrying it around, the usual caps, and a lens hood for decreasing light flares with 43 mm threaded top for attaching filters.

This Lens could be used for film work. But it is small so travel for the aperture pull is pretty short. The aperture ring is tighter than the focus which is nice so that you dont worry about it getting bumped easily or while trying to change the focus. There is definitely breathing when pulling focus.

Dj une premire agrable surprise en dballant l'objectif : la qualit de construction tout mtal est trs correcte , pas de jeu nulle part sur mon exemplaire, et le Pergear est livr avec une housse de protection ainsi qu'un pare-soleil alu de bonne facture, enfin la bague de mise au point manuelle est bien dmultiplie et trs prcise (merci la loupe numrique de l'Olympus EM1-III).
La 2me bonne surprise vient de la qualit d'image qui est trs bonne pleine ouverture (F1.6) sur mon exemplaire avec notamment un trs bon piqu au centre et surtout un bokeh (qualit du flou) neutre et franchement agrable l'oeil. Un excellent objectif pour des portraits noir et blanc par exemple.
3me point positif : l'objectif est discret, trs lger et trs compact et le montage sur la ba?onnette du boitier est bien calibr, ni trop serr ni trop lache.
Rien n'est parfait et cet quivalent 70mm f1.6 en 24x36 souffre quand mme de quelques dfauts comme un vignettage important pleine ouverture, un piqu dans les coins trs moyen et du "purple fringing" (aberrations chromatiques sous forme de franges violettes) dans les zones trs contrastes mais bon rien de dramatique non plus (surtout au prix d'achat de 66!) ? donne un certain caractre aux images et surtout j'ai dj vu pire sur des objectifs co?tant 6 fois plus cher!
Bref au tarif auquel il est propos actuellement ce Pergear est une superbe affaire pour vos boitiers Olympus ou Panasonic si vous acceptez les contraintes de la mise au point manuelle.
