It's hard to complain about a lens that only costs $80, especially if you got a $25 Amazon gift card for Xmas, bringing the price down to just $55! So. . . I'm in no position to complain. It's pretty sharp in the middle (the only place that really matters) and, surprisingly, the minimum focal distance it pretty amazing. 25mm (full frame) is equivalent to a 38mm on my Fuji X-T2, so it makes it a pretty good all around lens. It's a fun little manual lens that's super inexpensive and has a very good build quality. If I had to gripe about something, it would probably be the fact that the aperture ring is de-clicked. I would preferred a clicked aperture ring, but that would be nitpicking. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. Recommended.

Nice for the price. It is used mainly for product video on a Lumix G95. Try to get one with the optional focus ring attachment. It's a bonus that actually is handy to use.

Solid build. Creamy bokeh opened up. Very sharp at f. 8. Bought and return the NEEWER 25mm because it felt like it was made cheap. Not this one. It comes with a nice focusing tab and cloth. Though I do wish the focusing ring was revered and infinity was on the right instead of all the way on the left. That's minimal though. My only real gripe with this lens is how easy that focus rings moves around. If I set my distance focus at 9 feet it will not stay put and slide one way or another as I walk around. It is a case of you get what you paid for so it's no big deal. Just a minor annoyance. Would still recommend this over the Neewer 25mm. Also I'm not a fan of the silver highlights so I took a red sharpie to it and I think it looks awesome. Try it if you want your budget lens to stand out a bit.

For photographers on a tight budget or folks who want to experiment, the 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 lens is ideal. From first impression, this is a nicely constructed all metal lens. Reminds me of vintage Zeiss or Takumar lenses. The focus ring is nicely dampened. Although, I have heard that manufacturing is NOT consistent, therefore your copies focusing may vary. Manual focus took a little getting used to and the eye sight is not that great now. The aperture ring is clickless, which I am not sure about just yet. However, it works! This is a nice lens, compact and light weight. Although, I could not focus properly, had to use focus peeking due to changes in eyesight. I did not give the lens a fair shake and ended up returning for an AF lens.

It's cheap, it's small and it's sharp, surprisingly so. Yes the corners get a bit soft, but so do most lenses ever made. Great for throwing on a mirrorless. Ignore the distance scale, it's just there for looks. Seriously It’s so off, I think it’s actually measuring optimism, not distance. Other than that, grab it and go like a Mark and Sparks sandwich.

I bought this for my lumix gf-2 beater camera. Didn't wanna spend too much on a prime as I already have fujifilm I had to drop hella monies for. Came across this. It provides the bokeh I need at a very low price. Do note it is a MANUAL lens meaning focus and aperture have be adjusted by you. I've yet to use it outdoors (Notice the noise from the photos attached but will do a follow up review.

I bought this lens to test out manual focus on my X-Pro1. the lens quality is very good. the lens has very smooth movement. My issues are that it has a clickless aperature ring and I am constantly hitting it and moving it from the set position. That is the only negative quyalirty of thei lens. The price is good and the build is good.

Good for what it is

Es el lente más barato que he adquirido y con el que más me he sorprendido. Cálidad sobrepasa su precio por mucho. Lo único que debes tener en cuenta es el viñeto qué genera (lo obscurece) , pero eso lo puedes tomar como característica positiva para generar fotos espectaculares.

Pretty good

It is a good value lens for the money

For the price point, a killer of a lens. The f1.8 gives a brilliant depth of field effect, and it is a brilliant lens for macro and portrait photos. Pros: 1. Has f-stops from 1.8 to 16, resulting in great portrait and macro, even in low light 2. Small and light, very easy to carry 3. Material seems to be sturdy, and can withstand a bit of rough handling. Cons: 1. Since this isnt a supported lens on sony certain features do not work 2. Does not have auto-focus.

It’s good
