Will this lens only mount to mirrorless cameras? What about an older Canon T2i EOS?

corvo1089Kamlan currently has a focus on producing lenses for APS-C cameras. However I think in their recent kickstarter product they mentioned that they will be working on FF lenses soon.

viramanNope thats not how it works. 50mm focal length is 50mm no matter what sensor it was designed for. The image circle is smaller since there is no reason for a lens to have an expanded image circle beyond the sensor size. However, the image "zoom" on a FF vs apsc lens is exactly the same.
In theory you can throw this lens on a FF system and just have crazy vignetting. However, save for the vignetting, the image will look the same as a FF 50mm lens.
This lens is a 100mm FF equiv when used on a mft system and a 75mm FF equiv when used on an apsc system. Note all these FF equiv are in terms of FOV

I find that this is a great lens for shooting food. The shallow DOF allows some nice control of what's in focus, and it looks great if you like to focus on one central area and want the rest to quickly fade into a blur.
With all the big name lenses I already own, I think that's what I'll be using this lens for, primarily. Food shots.

The Kamlan 50 f1.1 v2 is allegedly 563g, according to this site:
https://www.fujirumors.com/sainsonic-kamlan-50mmf1-1-mk-ii-and-21mmf1-8-for-fujifilm-x-announced/
That's a lot more than the 243g that Massdrop are quoting, so I wonder if it's a totally different lens. Anyone know anything???

The V2 (which this is not) is a larger, heavier lens. It has a different optical formula which does have more glass than this version.
I have this v1 version, the v2 was only recently crowdfunded on Kickstarter. I'm not sure it's even shipping yet. This v1 lens is a fun lens, but it's known for being soft. The newer, heavier, more expensive v2 lens is supposed to be significantly sharper across the whole frame while still offering the same shallow depth of field.

got mine about a week ago.
It's better than I anticipated. Yes at f1.1 it's crazy bright but crazy shallow depth of field. This is somewhat mitigated by crop factor equivalence. f1.1 being more like f1.4 on a full frame.
But it's a fun lens, great for taking candlelit shots of friends and family.
Or street shooting at night.
It feels very solid. The iris ring is smooth, declicked and damped.
Focus is decent. The whole lens is surprisingly solid and feels very well made for the price.
It doesn't appear to be multicoated. It gets some significant flare and ghosting with bright lights. That can be an effect if you plan for it. And so far the flares are not an odd color or anything. Just a white coma on a dark background.
The lens hood is almost useless, as it is very difficult to mount. Feels like it's going to snap in two whenever I affix or remove it. It does not appear to be able to reverse mount.
All in all, a welcome addition to my lens bag. Decent placeholder until I get Fuji's 56mm f1.2

CalaverasgrandeDo you get purple fringing with yours? I do when there’s a lot of light. Also, if by reverse mount the lens hood you mean fasten it backwards, you should be able to do that. I’ve done it with mine. Make sure it clicks into place. Took a while for me to get it down, but it works. Awesome lens for the price! I use it all the time.

JOliverYes I do get fringing on backlit shots. Purple and or green. I just pull it out in Camera Raw. Since there is no profile in CR, I just manually remove it by slider.
The lens hood does reverse mount with effort. But it kind of interferes with the lens too much so I leave it in the bag.
