7artisans Vision Series: BEST Value Cinema Lenses?
At $450 per lens (I paid about $375 per lens) these lenses punch way above their weight class and offer a fun factor that most lenses can't.

I bought the Mitakon Zhongyi 25mm T1.0 Speedmaster Cine Lens for the same reason why you bought these lens. After shooting on the speed master in New Orleans and after trying my hands on the 7artisans 12mm I would suggest the 7artisans any day of the week simply on the build quality. While it was nice that the speed master's focus ring was less stiff. The 7artisan's is way more durable. The speed master's mounting plate is screwed together with these tiny screws that are made to hold eye glasses together and it almost didnt last the weekend. I had to tighten the screws with a kitchen knife because they were so tiny. The 7artisans screws are not going to budge any time soon. So if you ever see any one considering getting Mitakon Zhongyi speed master. Convince them that the 7artisans is the better choice.
