250swb Posted September 29, 2022 Share #3 Posted September 29, 2022 I know that in the English language a 'wen' is a pustule, but what does it translate as in camera geek? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

84bravo Posted September 29, 2022 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2022 I've been very satisfied with their current 35mm f2. It will be interesting to see what the improvement will be, as well as the price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba Erv Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted September 29, 2022 I'll likely buy one whatever the meaning of the Chinese character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFW2-SCUSA Posted September 30, 2022 Share #12 Posted September 30, 2022 I'm confused. The OP introduced the F2 35mm WEN, the YouTube is about the f1.4 lens. Which are we talking about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which are we talking about? I think the video was just a reference to the translation of the Wen character. The Wen 35mm f1.4 has been out awhile now. Completely different lens but uses the Wen Series nomenclature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Jefferson Posted September 30, 2022 Share #14 Posted September 30, 2022 Mandarin is my mother tongue so here it means “文”from “人文” rén wén,loosely translate to documentary (literal meaning is "human and article"). They have a casual word for street photography “扫街” (literally means sweep the street). Chinese sometimes used this two words interchangeably 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Jefferson Posted September 30, 2022 Share #15 Posted September 30, 2022 They had a tiny 35/2 for M mount and curious to see if this will be a glorified version of it. Seems short enough that it doesn't add much bulk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it were as sharp as my early 35/2 with less flare and distortion but i doubt it will come with the same 6-bit code that was not allowed by Leica i suspect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no issues with the optical quality of my 7A 35mm f2. I could not tell the difference between it and my Summicron 35mm asph v1. The differences were in finish and build quality. And like every 7A lens I’ve owned, it focuses way past infinity at the hard stop, even though focus was accurate via the RF. That I found really annoying but I bought this lens as a beater and was surprised that optically it was anything but a beater. Pics taken w my M4-2 and the 7a Welcome, dear visitor!

My 7a 35/2 flares and distorts significantly more than my Summicron 35/2 asph v1. Great little lens for the price though. I have lent my copy to a relative of mine together with an M8.2 and he likes this combo so much that he's reluctant to return it to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
