that1cameraguy great low cost option to the very expensive unicorn Zeiss 24 1.8 even though I picked it up for used at $500. I’m glad to hear E Mount Crop glass is expanding via third party. I hope you can review the Sigma 16mm as well

​@@iheartgs400 seems as more recent review claims it it sharp and doesnt have blur issues, could be more recent builds got blur edges fixed?

I just got thsi lens for Xmas. Wow some serious quality here in the pictures on my A6500. Just playing with it but with that 1.8 I am getting so much light.

I have this lens for a few years, and the only use for it in my experience is together with 2-3 extension tubes for macro photography as you can get extremely close up pictures this way (the lens cap must be off or you'll not be able to get close enough to focus).

THANKS for the review. I got this to fool around with manual and I love it. Lightroom takes care of vignetting and a any barrel.distortion. I really like that the focus ring doesn't disturb the aperture settings. And for $69.00...wow!

Hi, looking to either get this or the 35mm version as a replacement/addition to the a6000 kitlens. It will mostly be used for some travelling so I was wondering whether sticking to a prime and getting used to quickly focusing manually would hurt my experience instead of enriching it with the nice subject separation and lower iso. I'd be interested to hear your experience/view here.

Always enjoyed watching your videos!

Great review. I am a noob and I was doubting about buying it. I'll do it because it seems enough for my performance

A used vintage 24mm f/2 manual focus lens from decades ago will cost WAY more than one of these.

Are there any hacks to download the new playmemories operating system? or any recommendations on external monitors for recording video?

what your recommended between 7artisan 25mm f1.8 or meike 28mm f2.8 . thanks..

Could you do a comparison between this lens (7Artisans 25 1.8) and the Rokinon 21mm F1.4. I know the Rok is like 4 times as expensive, and should be better ,but it'd be interesting to know, by how much.

Hey , will it work with my canon 750D a.k.a. t6i ? Or I need to use an adapter? Please let me know :)

Question; Is this worth it for me as beginner (experimented with a Eos 1000D and LG V20 to learn the basics of photography) I'm buying the a6000 asap with payday but is the manual focus hard to control for a beginner or would you say that with the camera on auto mode you can still like point and shoot at for say car meets and pictures of puppies and such

Im using sony a6400. Is there any adapter can fit 7artisan lens into the camera?

broo, which better between 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 and minolta md 24mm 2.8 ?

Just got this lens & used it for the 1st time today. & the 55. Very well done. Very helpful. Thanks. Mine is for Fuji.

hi great video -- what setting do you use on the A6000? PROGRAM? MANUAL?

I bought a defect (won't switch OFF) a6000 and I'm using a de-clicked Minolta MD Rokkor 28mm/2.8 on it. I love it, but this lens would be awesome too, because it's faster and smaller then the MD+adapter.

Please explain to me whether it is 25 or 37.5

what do you think about the image quality of this lens compared with the 16-50mm? This 7Artisans has better quality? Should I buy it or should I save to buy an expensive lens later?

How about this lens vs sony sel 35mm?

I've had this for a while (Branded TYKA) and I've had mixed results, some of that I chock up to my own inexperience but some of it is just the lens doing odd things with focus peeking on the a6000, I tested this a few times with clear white text on a black background and sure enough it looks focused on the back screen but not in the actual image.

Nice camera strap, what is it?

Thanks for the review. For using the lens on the sony alpha series are there any special settings you have to change around to get the most out of it for video especially.

I wanna use it for indoor filming for tiktok , is it suitable ? Does it give a good blury background ? Thank you 🔥

It’s full frame lens or apsc lens?

Mine can be challenging to focus as well with focus peaking on. It is off a bit too. Infinity is a hair before the marker and gets crazy soft when tiened all the way to the marker. It's great when you nail focus though. Fujifilm X-E2.

Yashica are brilliant lenses. I've got the 50mm 1.8 for my Fuji which I also used to use on my Canon. Chinon 105mm f2.8(either 2.8 or 1.8) is for the price, the best lens I've used (£12 from eBay).

Can I use it with Sony a5100

OM Zuiko 28mm is a very small and fine alternative to this lens, or, a little bigger, the much-neglected Pentacon 30mm, very sharp, with its great 'bokeh' and close-up capability

Canon fd 28mm f2.8 that's a pretty nice little lens. I really enjoy it.

I watched another review of this lens and it looks like it has some character including 'swirly bokeh'. I have a lot of vintage lenses that at least match the IQ for a similar cost but I might get one of these because it is wide and fast. Brilliant review. Thumbs up, subscribed.

You can get really great older manual lenses for very cheap. Why would it not be worth it? Adapters are cheap and I like the adapters with a tripod mount since my camera is so small and light. You can get some top-of-the-line glass for less than $100.

I know this is an old review but hopefully somebody else had similar issue. I purchased this lens just before going on vacation. After using the lens for few hours and comparing the resultant photos with the kit lens at the same focal length, I was not too impressed. At the range of wide apertures, the lens did not feel as "punchy" as the kit lens. Something about the color and sharpness is off. I also realized that when the focal length is set to the end for infinity, everything is off focus including the infinity :-( I lost quite few pictures because I had assumed that I could get scenery by leaving the focal point to the end of the travel. After one morning of outing, I ended up not using this lens on my A6000 and stayed with the kit lens. May be my copy is bad and I should try to get it replaced but otherwise I might use the money towards a Sony prime lens if I am never to go to use this one.

Yeah, it's an APS-C lens according to the Amazon link. However, like you said that means it won't completely cover a full frame sensor. As a result, it won't act as a 37.5mm, it will simply produce extreme vignetting.

There are plenty of legacy lenses around the 24-28mm focal range that are better performers than this lens. The thing I like about this lens is that it is really small - like, tiny in fact. Makes a perfect lens for travel and everyday shooting.

@JeremyGalloway

I am shooting mostly my own travels, so I would be hesitant to use a legacy lens due to manual focus, unless it is super easy. Any recommendations for a good legacy lens between 23-25mm? 28mm is a bit to tight for me. Looking for a 35mm equiv. Thanks!

@paulm7151

Nikon, Canon, Minolta and Pentax all have old vintage 24mm f2.8 lenses that you can find on Amazon and ebay for cheap. If they are in good condition, they would all perform as good as, if not better than, this 7 artisans lens. But they are all manual focus, so if you are looking for a good autofocus lens, you may be stuck with newer sony and third party lenses.

It's not just for E-Mount.

That's why i love China.
