Looking to kick the new year off right, and perhaps with a little lens purchase for yourself? Well, then we have you covered with a nice option that could be a fun new lens for you to consider for your camera bag that isn’t too pricey or complex.

Designed to be an easy-to-use, dreamy bokeh 35mm f/1.4 large aperture manual focus lens, this new option from BrightinStar hits a lot of marks, including—most importantly, perhaps—its sub-$200 price point. Let’s look at the BrightinStar MF 35mm f/1.4 lens and explore what it has to offer.


The BrightinStar MF 35mm f/1.4 Lens

Launched on December 29th, this BrightinStar MF 35mm f/1.4 lens is a new option for a simple one-trick 35mm lens that features full-frame large aperture manual focus support. Designed to allow for dreamy bokeh and emotional depth in every shot, this 35mm f/1.4 lens could be a nice option for street or portrait photography, or as a stylistic lens to try out for different video shoots or other hybrid content projects.

Plus, as a humanist 35mm focal length option, it could be a nice everyday lens or walking-around travel option, depending on your camera and setup. It is lightweight (weighing under 220g) and easy to carry around. It also has a helpful click and de-click aperture design that allows for smooth switching between still and video use.

Finally, as a versatile lens option, it comes with multi-mount support as it is compatible with Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, or L mounts to seamlessly fit your setups—whatever they may be.
