7artisans 25mm F1.8 APS-C Format Portrait Lens Compatible with Olympus and Panasonic Micro 4/3 Mount Camera

The media could not be loaded.  Solid build. Creamy bokeh opened up. Very sharp at f. 8.Bought and return the NEEWER 25mm because it felt like it was made cheap. Not this one. It comes with a nice focusing tab and cloth. Though I do wish the focusing ring was revered and infinity was on the right instead of all the way on the left.That's minimal though. My only real gripe with this lens is how easy that focus rings moves around. If I set my distance focus at 9 feet it will not stay put and slide one way or another as I walk around. It is a case of you get what you paid for so it's no big deal. Just a minor annoyance. Would still recommend this over the Neewer 25mm. Also I'm not a fan of the silver highlights so I took a red sharpie to it and I think it looks awesome. Try it if you want your budget lens to stand out a bit.

I was looking for a cheap and compact lens to have for street photography and traveling. Combined with my XT-2 and some Lightroom, I’m really enjoying this lens so far. You can’t beat it for the price. It has really nice bokeh, and obviously distinct bokeh.I will say that it it performs best around 2.8-5.6, anything else wide open is sometimes soft or has some vignettes, depending on the lighting. This lens also flares like crazy which can be great and annoying depending on your taste, but you can fix that with a lens hood.The body feels nice for an affordable lens.

It's hard to complain about a lens that only costs $80, especially if you got a $25 Amazon gift card for Xmas, bringing the price down to just $55! So. . . I'm in no position to complain. It's pretty sharp in the middle (the only place that really matters) and, surprisingly, the minimum focal distance it pretty amazing. 25mm (full frame) is equivalent to a 38mm on my Fuji X-T2, so it makes it a pretty good all around lens. It's a fun little manual lens that's super inexpensive and has a very good build quality. If I had to gripe about something, it would probably be the fact that the aperture ring is de-clicked. I would preferred a clicked aperture ring, but that would be nitpicking. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. Recommended.

I bought this lens to test out manual focus on my X-Pro1. the lens quality is very good. the lens has very smooth movement. My issues are that it has a clickless aperature ring and I am constantly hitting it and moving it from the set position. That is the only negative quyalirty of thei lens. The price is good and the build is good.

It's a good, fun manual lens that doesn't break the bank. I spent an afternoon photographing chickens in the back yard, and I'm happy with the image quality.

Too much flaring and color shift wide open

No complaints...for this money, it was a "wow" moment.If you like to shoot manual and in low lights - this is a fun lens that you should try.Perfect for capturing water condensation on close up and other effects. Lots of fun with this lens, it kinda reminded me starting up in the early days shooting in manual.For the money, the quality is great. Can't believe that nowadays you can get decent quality lenses for so little $.

For photographers on a tight budget or folks who want to experiment, the 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 lens is ideal. From first impression, this is a nicely constructed all metal lens. Reminds me of vintage Zeiss or Takumar lenses. The focus ring is nicely dampened. Although, I have heard that manufacturing is NOT consistent, therefore your copies focusing may vary. Manual focus took a little getting used to and the eye sight is not that great now. The aperture ring is clickless, which I am not sure about just yet. However, it works!This is a nice lens, compact and light weight. Although, I could not focus properly, had to use focus peeking due to changes in eyesight. I did not give the lens a fair shake and ended up returning for an AF lens.

Es el lente más barato que he adquirido y con el que más me he sorprendido. Cálidad sobrepasa su precio por mucho.Lo único que debes tener en cuenta es el viñeto qué genera (lo obscurece) , pero eso lo puedes tomar como característica positiva para generar fotos espectaculares.

For the price point, a killer of a lens. The f1.8 gives a brilliant depth of field effect, and it is a brilliant lens for macro and portrait photos.Pros:1. Has f-stops from 1.8 to 16, resulting in great portrait and macro, even in low light2. Small and light, very easy to carry3. Material seems to be sturdy, and can withstand a bit of rough handling.Cons:1. Since this isnt a supported lens on sony certain features do not work2. Does not have auto-focus.

It is a good value lens for the money

El producto llegó a tiempo y bien empacado. Es una muy buena opción, le quedó perfecto a mi cámara Panasonic Lumix G7. La apertura 1.8 le permite bastante entrada de luz por lo que ayuda en tomas nocturnas de poca iluminación. Es importante mencionar que es manual, lo que a mi en particular no me molesta en lo absoluto aunque eso ya es cuestión de cada usuario. No requiere un adaptador ni nada por el estilo. Me dejó muy satisfecho. Lo recomiendo adquirir sobre todo si estás empezando en el mundo de la fotografía y video y no quieres descapitalizarte en la compra de lentes caros y aprovechar en adquirir equipo de iluminación o audio con lo que te ahorres en ese rubro ya que como sabemos este hobby es caro.

Pretty good
