A good manual lens: Lenses

This isn't just a manual lens, it's a really great lens. It's also very sharp at f1.8. Images captured with this lens will introduce chromatic aberration in high-contrast, backlit subjects, but this can be easily corrected using manual lens correction in Adobe Camera Raw. I posted some examples of this to compare the original photo then enlarge it and then apply the corrections. Example images were taken with a 2004 Canon XT with APSC sensor. Yes, this camera is 15 years old and still worksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • INCREASE YOUR CONTROL. With a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, you retain impressive control over depth of field, making this lens ideal for selective focusing techniques. With a sleek all-metal body that enhances and enhances the tactile experience, once you pick up an 85mm f/1.8 lens, you'll be constantly inspired to take your photography to the next level.
Cons
  • Big and chunky

55mm lens filter and iris click ring.

Lens feels good, mounting plate doesn't wobble as others have said. The adapter I used to convert from a Canon lens to a Sony body found that the screws were loose. The valve clicks, but 30 seconds after removing the rear bolts (not fully tightened) I was able to remove the ball. It has themes to add filters. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST THING KEEPING ME FROM AN ORDER. This has an inner diameter of 55mm and the hood is screwed on from the outside. The lens hood also has a 72mm thread on the end andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • EXCEPTIONAL BUILD QUALITY. The metal construction of the 8mm f/3.5 lens with hybrid aspherical element and multi-coated lens ensures wide viewing angles and sharp images.
Cons
  • Available in white only

Read this camera lens review.

I bought this lens to decide if I wanted to invest in a professional 85mm prime lens. Included. Cons: The description says it needs a 72mm filter. Upon opening the box, I found that the actual lens filter diameter is 55mm. The cover that attaches to the lens accepts a 72mm filter. If the lens has a 55mm filter, the cover will not be attached. There is no mention of dust and moisture seals, so most likely none. Pros: It takes razor-sharp photos. If you are new to photography, this lens will help

Pros
  • MANUAL SUPER SMOOTH FOCUS. Since this lens contains no electronics, the mechanics of the focusing ring are smooth and precise. High precision tactile control delivers crystal clear images from up to 2.8ft away.
Cons
  • weak
