The Great Joy 50mm 1.8x T2.9 surprised me in a good way, despite some of its flaws. The 35mm 1.8x T2.9 follows in those same footsteps but it has improved on a lot of the shortcomings of the 50mm. The lens is ridiculously cheap for what it is, and furthermore, at this price point, the lens doesn’t have any direct competition.
If you love anamorphic shots but shy away from the over-the-top, sci-fi-esque lens flares characteristic of the category, you might find a winner here. This is one intersection where the Great Joy lens becomes an incredible compromise.
