Review on πŸ“Έ 7artisans 55mm F1.4 II V2.0 Portrait Lens: M4/3-mount Mirrorless Camera Compatibility for GM1, GM5, GX1, GX7, GX8, and More by Pascal Santos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good features but difficult to shoot from a distance

This lens allows you to shoot from a distance in the late evening and at night. It can also be a good portrait lens. Apparently the 7 craftsmen intended it for a portrait lens, because the focus scale shrinks when trying to take a picture from 5 meters to infinity. Even with good focus on the camera body, the adhesive mechanism makes it difficult to focus on distant subjects. It seems like a good lens with decent optical performance for $119.99. Chromatic aberration does show up a bit, but color is good and light transmission seems acceptable at a maximum of f/1.4. I wasn't attempting to photograph people in a portrait setting, so hopefully that adds to the usefulness of the lens. The price is good, but not as practical as a high-end 1970s lens with an adapter at the moment.

Pros
  • M4/3 mount lens: The 7artisnas 55mm F1.4 portrait lens is designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras with M4/3 mount and has a focal length of 110mm .
