  • Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It’s cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don’t want the expense. It’s also lighter.

    The problems:

    • more serious photographers will want better optics and I don’t think this brand is it
    • Sharing optics adds complexity to gear in terms of dust/moisture ingress *Cheap prime lenses are not that expensive. This will cost more *You’re better off with a higher quality zoom lens that covers the range of this system




















  • The positives: I think it’s an interesting subject and a filter which adds/creates a darker mood to the photo. The angle of the piano creates a nice view for your eyes to follow towards the center of the image.

    The negatives: ultimately, the image draws your eyes to some clutter in the background which doesn’t have a good narrative and serves to upstage your subject.

    Advice: remove the background clutter. Either IRL or use Photoshop/GIMP
