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.
Cons:It is very difficult to focus correctly, especially at infinity.
Opinion:Taken used with other optics 7 artisan, 12 f 2.8, 25 f 1.8, 35 f 1.2 and 55 f 1.4 at very low price. I tested it on a 16-megapixel Sony Nex-5 R with an external electronic viewfinder. For now, only on landscapes. I had an old Nikon 24 f 2.8 AI-S available at home and out of curiosity I compared them to infinity, nothing rigorous, but the 7artisan for me solves more, has brighter colors and at the same aperture set and subject feels brighter (the times are faster than the Nikon). It is very difficult to focus on infinity, not because it is manual but because in a few mm you can go from 5 m to infinity and more. Incorrect focus affects resolution. A longer focus would be needed so that more accurate focus could be focused. With focus peaking you can't zoom in and make micro micro millimeter shifts. If you get the focus right, the results are pleasing. I haven't tried it for closer subjects.
Opinion:PdC scale farlocca, exaggerated internal reflections, sharpness last of the class, infinity goes into random focus... Sloppy colors, de-declicated diaphragm beautiful but that does not make you understand the transition from one diaphragm to another. One of the worst optics ever possessed and tried and through circles or my Facebook group Fotogitando I have tried so many. Returned without repentance
Opinion:I have several 7artisans goals and of all I am more than satisfied but this is really bad two things in particular: at F16 it has a blue reflection in the center of the image and the rings even if they are soft you feel that scratch, from them goddess who after a few turns you are with a metal chip on the sensor. very failed
Pros:Price, sharpness in the center of the image, fluid iris ring
Cons:Poor quality at the edges of the image, slight bubble distortion in the center of the image between f/8 and f/16, unusable in backlight, vignetting, too soft rings
Opinion:Purchased branded Neewer, the quality of the image is acceptable only in the center, approaching the edges you have a very sudden ness of sharpness. This view is in no way suitable for shooting subjects at long distances, let alone landscapes. It lends itself much more to open use, when you intend to highlight a specific detail and not the entire image. Vignetting, especially if increased in post-production, is very useful for "lomo" photography. Overall it's a lens worth what it costs
