Cheecar FF 35/1.4 II: My experience [1/3]

I use the Cheecar FF 35/1.4 lens on my Sony a7c (FF, 24MP).

Unlike the OEM 50/1.1, this lens is less versatile. It is not so easy to shoot landscapes even at closed apertures (f/8, for example). Infinity is not at the hard stop of the focusing ring, and the field curvature is also a strong effect (also when focusing).

But if you focus correctly, the result at f/8 is normal:

The lens has a noticeable barrel distortion:

Sunstars have 10 rays.

The lens is a bit prone to flare.

It is more interesting to shoot with this lens at f/1.4.

Even landscapes.

And other things.

See part 2, part 3.
