Remind me Lensbaby — just less obvious effect:) These lenses are fun to use and also good boost for creativity:) Be prepared for "soft edges" comments here:)

The Fujian 35mm f/1.7 lens (aka Cheap B@stard)

Finally I manage to make some time to give this little lens a spin with the M1 with some shots.

The lens is designed for C-Mount CCTV cameras with a smaller 11mm( 2/3" Type sensor) but it somehow covers the much larger APS-C M 27mm sensor.
The lens has a short radius Field Curvature hence the blurry edges and funky Bokeh. It is Manual focus, has a nice continuous (no detentes) manual Aperture control with 12 blades.

Because it is C-Mount it is compatible with almost any Mirrorless camera without adding any bulk with the purchase of the corresponding $5 screw ring adapter.

The highlight of this lens is that it is f1.7 bright, has a unique rendering style, it is build of solid metal and above all, is dirt cheap. I paid $29 New, shipped from China to the US. I know, don't ask me how they still manage to make a profit.

Some photos I took yesterday in my next post.

But first, keep your expectations low because the Cheap B@stard is not about clinical sharp images.
