Inexpensive entry-level lens. Worth every penny!

For photographers on a budget or people who want to experiment, the 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 lens is ideal. At first glance, this is a well-constructed all-metal lens. Reminds me of old Zeiss or Takumar lenses. The focus ring is nicely muted. While I've heard the production is NOT sequential, the focus of your copies may vary. The manual focus took a little getting used to and the view isn't that great anymore. The aperture ring doesn't click, which I'm not sure about yet. However, it works! Good lens, compact and light. Although I couldn't focus properly, I had to resort to peeking due to vision problems. I didn't shake the lens too much and ended up going back to an autofocus lens.

Pros
  • for optimal reproduction of highlights in the foreground and background. It offers a quality transition as well as nice bokeh for the lens.
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
