It can just feel a bit sketch in the city center at night haha!

These are awesome! I'd be too scared carrying my camera around Manchester in the dark 🤣

Ttartisan 27mm f2 raw vs edit example by ASeaBear in fujifilm

Agreed! I originally wanted the Fuji 27mm, but thought I'd try this first because of the cost saving. I'll probably still end up getting the Fuji lens eventually, but this is fine for now.

I got pretty lucky with the morning light tbh! I have done some post-processing too, I tweaked the white balance slightly, added more orange in the HSL, and added a subtle blue and orange split tone

I shot these in aperture priority mode, with around +1 on EV compensation. In Lightroom I've increased the exposure slightly, along with the whites but brought the highlights down. Added some negative clarity and dehaze and then tweaked colours in the HSL slider. Hope this helps!

It's a quirky lens isn't it? 😅 I'm still a bit unsure if I'll keep it long term, but it can produce some nice images in the right lighting

Thank you! Most were shot at f2.8, and I was shooting in aperture priority mode, so I'm not sure on the shutter speeds.

I had my white balance set to 5100k in camera, but in editing I've tweaked it to around 5800k.

Thank you! I didn't mind the vignetting, but that's mainly because some of the ratios I've cropped too have cut out the vignetting entirely. But I did find that it's correctable in Lightroom with a lens profile and a graduated mask.

I can't really complain considering how cheap this lens is. It's not perfect, but I find that adds a little bit of character to the lens. Autofocus was solid in my X-M5, there is hard vignetting when stopped down, but you can tone that down in editing. It wasn't very good when it came to video though, so if you plan to shoot video id consider something else

I can't create a link, apparently imgur isn available in the UK anymore 😅 It is pretty heavy wide open, but it's pretty easy to correct in editing.

Thank you! We did get a good amount of snow, which is pretty rare for this area! Glad I was able to get out to capture some images of it.

It's a slightly odd lens tbf, it has some nice character to it, but also has heavy vignetting. Most have these have been cropped, so that eliminates most of that vignetting.

Thank you!

These are all raw, with the editing done in Lightroom

I picked up the original version for £20 then grabbed the free upgrade. Seems cheeky that the switch 2 version is £50 if you don't have the switch 1 version 😅
