Meike 35mm f2 new?

[Snowlexx]

I can't decide what to take for my S9. Use this lens or through an adapter 7artisans M35/2 mk2 with manual focusing and a minimum distance of 0.7m. Both have soft corners, the weight is the same, the length is 90/60 mm. Both with bad highlights. The latter seems to be better than bokeh. I don't want a bulky one.
p/s
there is even a variant 7artisans 35/2 mk1 with a sonar circuit. for the same money.

For the S9, I would have waited for the 7artisans AF 35/2.8. Meike is still a bit big, in my opinion. Although it feels lighter in weight on my S5II than 20-60. Perhaps due to a slightly different weight distribution.

I'm sorry to upset you, but it was shots "on the run" on the S5II in STD jpg and I just applied the luminar preset afterwards.

Good to hear as I bought that software a few weeks ago.

Looks good from jpeg, I always have RAW. Yet to try the Leica LUT or even take out the camera.

I bought this lens last week and find it very nice for its price. After the 85mm 1.4 Pro and this lens convinced me I also gave the 55mm 1.8 Pro a chance.
I will show some pictures in a new thread.

Both pictures below were shot fully open at f2:

• Panasonic - DC-S5M2X
• MEKE FF35/F2.0
• 35.0 mm
• ƒ/2
• 1/100 sec
• Pattern
• Auto exposure
• -0.3
• ISO 2000

• Panasonic - DC-S5M2X

Sorry for my mistake.
The 2nd image was shot at f5.6...

These results look good. I hadn't even realised there was a 55/1.8 available, I will keep that in mind.

It's a new release and a really good one. But be aware, that the pictures here are from the 35mm F2

In your opinion, what is the difference between the SE (35/2) and PRO (55/1,8) lines? Price x2. Is it worth it?
