Cons:Lack of electrical contacts for exif data, very exposed front lens
Opinion:For some time I had been considering the opportunity of an extreme focal length such as 9 or 10 mm, but of all these focal lengths and more or less of all brands you could read different pros but also different cons, and this 7Artisan was no exception. For this reason I was very skeptical about its purchase, even if the pros, reading here and there, seemed to outweigh the cons. The point that left me most perplexed was the need for manual focus, mitigated, however, by the fact that being a wide-angle lens it would have been possible to focus a lot on the use in hyperfocal, as well as by the possibility given by the mirrorless (in this case the Canon R6 mkII) to use the focus peacking (which later turned out to be completely useless) and by the possibility of relying on manual maf indicators, practically non-existent due to the fact, I assume, that the camera works as if it were in the absence of a lens, thus not activating the manual focus indicator function. From the first tests made, not even hyperfocal proved to be a safe method, so there was nothing left to do but focus manually in the true sense of the word... Fortunately, using the lens mainly on a tripod, the maximum magnification function of the framed scene allows you to see the correct maf sufficiently, and in fact I did not have to discard any photo due to unwanted blurring. I would therefore say that the use of this lens is quite demanding but very precise and reliable, and given the results I would recommend it to anyone who wants an extreme focal length at a fairly low price. I said "seen the results" because my skepticism vanished as soon as I viewed the first image on the monitor...! I was seized by an inexplicable enthusiasm so much so that the photo (and also the subsequent ones gradually viewed) was of a sharpness worthy of the Canon lenses that I normally use, with the addition, of course, of an angle of view that in the Canon house today can only give the RF 10-20mm L series, but at a cost of five times higher! Other points in favor are the almost total absence of barrel distortion and the possibility (despite most reviews give it as impossible) to mount rear screw filters with a diameter of 34 mm, just like the equivalent branded Brightin Star. Final judgment, therefore, taking into account all the due proportions, I would say that I would give it a full 10.
Pros:Focal length, price, optical performance (for the focal length), robustness
Cons:Completely (but quite) manual
Opinion:The judgment on this type of lens usually oscillates between the very bad and the so-so. In my opinion, if you know what you are buying, you will not be disappointed at all. It's a lens one step away from the fisheye (without being one) with *typical* distortion for this type of extreme lens. If used levelly it gives a very good yield all in all. It is not very bright (but it is written) and is totally manual (ditto); it has no electrical contacts and therefore does not transmit any information to the machine. Ergo, the focus is manual. All these features are known *before* purchase. With a wise use of hyperfocal (if you don't know what it is...) and a great attention to perspective lines (in order to exploit in a creative or at least controlled sense the 'extreme' effects that are obtained), etc. it is a very fun and very effective lens that is worth the money it costs. Accompanied by an expert use of software such as Lightroom, Photoshop or equivalent (for which there is still no correction profile, as far as I know, - which would have limited usefulness anyway) it becomes a useful extension of one's kit (I use it with Nikon Z8). Have fun!
Pros:Build Quality, Good Image Quality, "Extreme" Perspective
Cons:Flare, Distortion, Absence of a Lens Profile
Opinion:I wanted to try this lens on Nikon Z; I kept her for almost a year without ever finding the right feeling with her. The lens suffers quite significantly from flare in backlight/night shots. Distortion is present in a significant way and requires a complex correction in post-production. There is no profile for Camera Raw/Lightroom (I tried to write 7aritsans directly without success). The quality/sharpness of the image is not discussed, it has an excellent rendering considering the price. The "spark" never went off and I decided to deprive myself of it.
Pros:Huge perspective that makes you like to play with it, construction quality, image quality, price, backlight quality
Cons:No possibility of installing filters
Opinion:The lens is very pleasing with the all-metal construction and the rings that turn with a little resistance. The photos are very sharp and of high quality. Adding a little micro contrast is good for it. It also performs very well against the light. It would have deserved a 10 if you could mount filters at the back like on the Brightin Star model.
