7artisans 25mm f/1.8

Pros: Price, Diaphragm, Construction, Vintage Look

Cons: MF too sensitive, rings without clicks, loss of definition at the image edges

Opinion: Small lens from Chinese brand 7Artisans, paid €. 70.00 on Amazon, so on the cost side real deal. It is usually delivered in a nice box together with a cleaning kit giving an idea of a premium product. After unboxing it is compact and actually well built as it is all metal. Being completely manual, diaphragms and focus are all managed directly on the lens with two rings (too) close together, but you get used to it. The problems, however, arise immediately at the first use: the aperture ring really screams some form of mechanical contrast: accompanying the passage of the apertures with clicks would have been very welcome. Instead, unfortunately, the ring turns and turns with a buttery look and it is something that personally bothers me a bit. Tested in combo with Panasonic Lumix G90 with good results for the street. The decent size of the lens doesn't attract much attention, which is a good thing. Technically, if you focus (even the one a little nervous following the second ring which is also just as buttery and prone to punishing you at the slightest millimeter error), it presents a very sharp and absolutely well-defined image center, while moving to the edges of the photo, you notice a degradation of the quality of definition, even at medium-small apertures. Personally I find it a nice lens for what it costs, very suitable for black and white, but which needs a good dose of patience when approaching the use of its rings during composition. So perfect for a bit of slow photography, but if you want ultra definition with lightning performance, definitely look elsewhere.
