Pros: Sharpness, Size, weight (in relation to focal length)

Cons: ferrules a little too loose, cap

Opinion: Really solid and beautiful lens in terms of aesthetics, even the cap which, unfortunately, falls off every three by two. The lens amazed me: one of the best manuals I've found. The MAF scale seems to work very well (it's very easy to put it in hyperfocal). The greatest advantage is that it takes beautiful photos, even the colors are not bad (it tends to be a bit cold). For the use I make of it (street) I don't notice any particular aberrations - instead it is quite sharp. At the price you find it's definitely a good wide angle. I haven't had a chance to test it for landscapes but it seems clear to me that it can be fine (I've seen some nice things in some galleries). Advised

Pros: Construction

Cons: Yield at the edges at all openings

Opinion: It is a lens made with excellent materials... for the price it is a small masterpiece. The overall yield is very good, but at the edges very bad at all openings. However, I always use it with great pleasure, both for the focal length and in urban and landscape contexts it is very usable, and for the chromatic rendering, very pleasant. Very compact, it allows you to keep the room in your pocket. Too bad for the very loose cap that you risk losing. However recommended, considering also the excellent opening.

Pros: Small, light, cheap, well built, rings with the right feeling, unexpected quality of image for cost, poor chromatic aberrations, unwarrantable distortion in real use, has defects easily corrected in post

Cons: focus breathing: it is not a real 12 mm, extreme edges not much, vignette quite

Opinion: I have it recently, I paid it 116 euros new and for this price I am more than satisfied with what it offers. I had the Samyang 12 mm f/2 and I rely on a comparison between the two. The Samyang surpasses it in engraving, uniformity and optical quality in general, but compared to 7artisans it suffers from strong chromatic aberrations that dirty with magenta and blue/green halos every detail at the edges and for this reason I have never digested it and used very little until reselling it. The 7artisans of aberrations has none, in real use they are really scarce and then even the geometric distortion is inadvertent compared to the Samyang. As a solvence and engraving it is obviously not at the top but not even evil: in the good center, at the extreme edges so so. In my opinion, its strong are the set portraits or the medium-distance subjects that fill the central part of the frame where it makes better and does not disturb too much the strong vignetting that is easily corrected; less suitable for landscapes although I have not yet experienced it in this regard. Attention to the real focal point: change the angle of field with the focus distance; more than a 12 mm looks like a 13/14 mm and at even tighter close distances; for me it is not a problem, indeed better because it is a little less extreme than Samyang; for sure it is a lens that to be exploited must be used at the right time and positive has that you correct it in pp without penalty.

Pros: Small, crisp, light

Cons: A little flare, obscene cap, he parades alone in his backpack

Opinion: Working PDC scale, marked internal reflections, remarkable sharpness for cost. Cold colors, decliccato diaphragm beautiful but that does not make you understand the transition from one diaphragm to another. One of the best MF optics ever possessed and tried and through circles or my Facebook Group Fotogitando I have tried so many. I definitely keep it for convenience and quality. Those who thought about the cap had drunk so much...

Pros: Construction, optical quality, price, weight

Cons: Tendency to spin in backlit situations

Opinion: I've been using it on Fuji for almost 2 years and it has given me a lot of satisfaction. The sharpness is more than good, even at the edges to the intermediate diaphragms. Very well controlled distortion. Vignette not excessive. Excellent construction. In the face of the 8-16mm Fuji succumbs, but without disfigurement. Recommended when you want to walk or ride with a small set in tow.
