Für den Preis wirklich unschlagbar. MF ist sehr präzise, bedarf jedoch feinstes Fingerspitzengefühl was mich persönlich nicht stört.Solides Objektiv. Tolle Aufnahmen.

Wanted a simple, fairly fast and compact 50mm equivalent prime lens for "walking around". This lens looked like it would work, and it does. Fits and functions as advertised, on OM-5 (micro 4/3) camera in manual and/or AP mode; no settings changes required. Nice, bright and clear image in viewfinder, this makes a good indoor or low-light outdoor lens. Yes, slightly out of focus on the edge of the frame when focusing down near the minimum distance with aperture wide open (f1.8), but not noticeable at more normal portrait distances and farther, nor with lens stopped down a notch or two. No significant vignetting with m43 sensor. Focus ring is well placed near the end of the lens, and I am not noticing interference with the aperture ring, even with big hands and fingers. Gave it 4 stars overall, because it's not perfect, just nearly so.

En mis pruebas, este objetivo es claramente superior al del kit 14-42 mm Panasonic Lumix G7 (en la distancia focal de 25 mm). La resolución es claramente superior. Buen contraste. No le he encontrado aberraciones.Para vídeo y macro es genial (equivale a un 50 mm en full frame). Si no puedes vivir sin autofocus y no te gustan los modos manuales, no es tu objetivo. En caso contrario es una joya a un precio de risa.Me gustaría: (1) que el anillo de enfoque tuviera mayor recorrido. En cuestión de décimas de milímetro cambia todo. (2) que no diera trabajo ponerlo y quitarlo. Hay que darle (con cuidado) atrás y adelante hasta que logras sacarlo. Tanto al ponerlo como al quitarlo, la única zona en que se puede sujetar para ejercer fuerza de torsión es un segmento muy estrecho entre el anillo de enfoque y el de diafragma.Vengo de una experiencia decepcionante con otro 25 mm 1.8 de precio similar y otro fabricante, y este, en contraste, ha sido una gran sorpresa agradable. Mi recomendación absoluta para quienes disfrutan controlando la exposición y el enfoque.

I wanted a fast, compact prime lens for taking stills and video with my Panasonic G85. This fits the bill for a lot less money than I thought I would have to spend. The construction is very good; the lens body and mount are metal, the focus and aperture rings are nicely dampened, and nothing feels cheap. I think the image quality is good; there are definitely sharper lenses out there, but I don't really pixel-peep. The wide aperture is nice for low light and the 12 blades make pleasantly rounded (although sometimes oblong) bokeh. As others have noted, the focus throw is fairly short. The aperture is also de-clicked, which I prefer, but others may not.I like that the lens is fully manual, but some may prefer Panasonic's 25mm f/1.7, which has autofocus and electronic controls. I like that I can toss this in my camera bag and have another option with me, since it's so sturdy and small.

I bought this lens after reading Kirk Tuck's excellent article. I've already been using various old film-era Minolta manual focus lenses with my Panasonic Lumix cameras for years, so I knew how much fun manual focus lenses can be. What I wasn't prepared for was the build quality, the haptics (handling) of the lens itself and its price:performance ratio.First is the size. This lens reminds me so much of an LTM (Leica thread mount) lens. It's smaller than almost any of my Minolta MD glass, yet exudes a similar build-quality. Heck, with its 12-bladed, curved aperture, none of my Rokkor glass can compare.I like the aperture ring where it's at, near the base of the lens, rather than out toward the front, like some older LTM lenses. Some reviews have made mention of the clickless aperture ring being easy to misadjust, but in comparison to having the ring up on the front, there's little problem with moving it by mistake, at least in my experience.The "throw" of the focus ring is perfect. About 2/3 of a turn from close-up macro to infinity focus. Not too short, like many cheaper film camera lenses where you can't do careful follow focus; and not too long, like many macro lenses where you have to keep turning and turning to go full range.Where this lens really shines is with video. I find it easy to rock focus back and forth for that gritty, edgy look. Again having the focus ring up front and aperture ring at the base is perfect. And the focus ring has nice textured machining along with sides. Slowly adjusting the clickless aperture is also a great way to subtly adjust exposure within the shot as scene lighting changes. Can't do that on just any old film camera lens.Yes, it's a bit soft in the corners wide open. But consider: this is a $70 lens. It ain't no $1000 Voigtlander, or $10,000 Noctilux. For a certain kind of moody video style, it works great wide open. Don't misunderstand: it's not Lomography or Holga soft, by a long shot. It's still pretty darn good wide open, even comparing to some of my (supposedly) legendary Minolta MD Rokkor glass wide open. But stop it down to f/5.6-f/8 and it's surprisingly sharp, more than adequate, in fact.Several years ago I bought the Olympus 15mm-f/8 body cap lens, a plastic, fixed-aperture little thing that turns your micro-4/3 camera into a cheap plastic point-and-shoot. Know what? It was actually fun to use. Set the focus lever to the click-stop hyperfocal setting and blast away. Then fix the images in post - correct the barrel distortion and sharpen it a bit - and they make nice little 4x6 prints. But for almost the same money as that body cap lens, you can get this 7Artisans gem. What an excellent value it represents. I'd buy it at twice the price, it's that good.

This is a fantastic lens for the price. It's fairly compact though not a pancake lens. It is a full manual lens which means no electronic communication between the lens and the body of the camera. The focus and aperture is controlled manually on the lens itself and your camera body will take care of the shutter, ISO, etc. Using it on a Panasonic G85 I was able to use focus peaking to ensure my shots were in focus and having this lens open up to f/1.8 is fantastic.Before this lens I did use the 25mm CCTV C-Mount lens. The CCTV lens is less then half the price of this 7Artisans lens but due to its low cost you will experience some issues. One thing I noticed on the CCTV lens is some slight vignetting on the corners of the image for both video and still pictures. On the fastest stop I also got an extreme swirl around the edges and some parts seemed soft. If you can I would highly recommend spending a little bit more and getting this 7Artisans lens instead. It's definitely better and you will see a huge difference in the quality of your images / video.Aside from the excellent image quality I do enjoy the metal construction of the lens. It has a decent weight to it as well. The lens will mount to your M43 body without an adapter. The lens itself has the proper mount attached to the back of it. In terms of packaging this lens came well packaged. A thick and sturdy cardboard box which was nicely labeled. Inside the box the lens sits inside a form fitted / molded foam cube.I have made a couple of videos showing this lens (an un-boxing and a sample video) and will continue to play with this lens to see what it can do. More videos to come on it. Check for LifeWorksWithYakov on YouTube (I don't think Amazon will allow direct linking).
