Capture Stunning Shots with 7artisans 25mm F1.8 Lens for Olympus & Panasonic MFT Cameras in Black! Review

For such a baby, it is heavy, metal and glass. Spins softly. Scrolling from minimum to infinity is not long, so it is suitable for video. The diaphragm closes and opens smoothly, without clicks. On the open soft, but sharp in the center. With cover up to 2,8, it's generally good. All photos were taken with Olympus Pen E-PM1. In general, if you didn’t get a marriage and your hands are in place, this is a very interesting lens, especially considering the price. I don't know anything about the…

An interesting toy for unhurried creative shots. It is unlikely that you will be able to focus on the eye of the person you are photographing without driving him crazy with endless waiting. The focus ring is perhaps even too soft, with a short stroke and knocked down infinity. The ring scrolls further than necessary, so the build quality is classified as a minus. Focusing with this lens is such a pain, be prepared for it, focus peaking hardly saves. Despite this, I took a couple of good…

Pts miniature lens even for 4/3 format. Pretty sharp even at 1.8; although it’s not easy to get into focus at first, but you get used to it.

Remember that this is a manual (manual) lens. Ideal as a spare lens or for all occasions, because. and not expensive, and aperture, and compact. I filmed a video with them, filmed on bmpcc4k. A little boring in my opinion, but everyone has their own tastes.

I wanted to take a sharp lens for video shooting, but I was sorry for the money for branded ones. Well, now I regret spending money on it. When taking photos and videos at an open aperture, a certain blue glow is created around objects. The sharpness when it hits the focus is weak and the text is hard to read. You can of course use it under certain conditions, but I can’t even imagine under what.

Great price for a lens that performs well. I bought it for some projects where I want to be "old school" in my approach to objects. The bokeh is pleasing thanks to the 12 aperture blades, which also leads to stellar effects even with some light sources in the picture at f4. The images are surprisingly sharp and rich in contrast for such a cheap lens. Not the premium sharpness of a lens, but it still has a "look" that sets it apart from my premium glass. It focuses quickly and smoothly. The…

I needed a fast, compact prime lens for taking stills and video with the Panasonic G85. It fits for way less money than I thought I would have to spend. The construction is very good; the lens barrel and mount are metal, the focus and aperture rings are well cushioned, and nothing feels cheap. I think the picture quality is good; There are definitely sharper lenses out there, but I'm not looking at pixels. The large aperture is good for low-light shots, and the 12 blades create a nice round (if

I got this for my original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera so I can capture footage and short videos in the smallest possible size but with great video quality. I love that it comes in silver to complement the black and silver camera body and give the impression that I'm a tourist walking around with a compact camera. Aperture ring so I can now smoothly fade in or out the video in the camera as I shoot and viewers don't "feel" the steps between the numbers on the ring. Another great thing is…

I bought a 7artisans 25mm f1.8 lens for video shooting, especially in low light and also in daylight with shallow depth of field. I prefer manual - that's about it. I tried the adapted CCTV 25/1.8 lens (as well as its 35/1.7 counterpart) available for half the price of a 7artisans lens (sometimes Fujian or Fotasy brands; with a more modern design) but couldn't live with it. neither with its barrel, which moves on its own chassis, nor with its inconsistent imaging properties. This lens can…

I have been a professional photographer for 40 years and I can say that this is a very good good value old school manual lens. Sturdy, quality metal construction, fairly sharp real glass, good contrast and color rendition, and a very fast maximum aperture value that's nice to have, and decently sharp wide aperture (better than camera phones, of course!) The other reviews here say the general details of the lens are very good covered and I totally agree with the positive reviews and their points

I bought this lens because it cost like shit. I figured if it was really bad I could just return it to Revain for a refund. But --- I mounted it on the front of my Panasonic G85, took it out and shot it for a couple of hours today and was very impressed with the overall handling. It's small and light, but metallic and strong. It's important to understand that this is a fully manual lens. There is no communication with the camera. You have to focus manually and use the aperture ring manually…

I don't need another lens with this focal length. I already have Oly 12-100 and 12-40; Both are visually excellent. Well I made the mistake of ordering a third party AF 30 f/1.4 and it turned out to be very bad, most likely a defective specimen. After sending this lens back, I stumbled upon this inexpensive MF lens. I have nothing to lose if this one fails. The lens arrived quickly. The packaging is better than I expected. The lens proved to be well constructed and has some weight. This is not…

This is a fantastic lens for the price. This is a fairly compact, albeit no pancake, lens. This is a fully manual lens, meaning there is no electronic communication between the lens and the camera body. Focus and aperture are set manually on the lens itself, and your camera body takes care of shutter speed, ISO, etc. With the Panasonic G85 I was able to use focus peaking to keep my shots sharp with this lens too. Opening up to f/1.8 is fantastic. Before this lens I used a 25mm CCTV C-mount…

I bought this lens after reading an excellent article by Kirk Tuck. Having used various vintage Minolta manual focus lenses with my Panasonic Lumix cameras for years, I knew how much fun manual focus lenses could be. What I wasn't prepared for was the build quality, the feel (handling) of the lens itself, and its value for money. First is the size. This lens reminds me a lot of the LTM lens (Leica thread mount). It's smaller than almost all of my Minolta MD glasses but has the same build…
