7artisans Photoelectric 35mm f/2 Reviews

Great for the price!

Looks great in video mode with the Sony A7SII! Decently sharp image, and the focus ring feels wonderful. I have 2 main complaints: 1.) The image has a fair bit of distortion around the edges, but it doesn't look too bad, especially if you stop down to around f/4 to f/5.6. 2.) Putting this on and taking it off of the camera can be a bit difficult since pretty much the entire body is made up of rotating rings (the aperture and focus ring). And the front portion is a lens hood, so it also rotates if you try holding it. Other than that, I'm loving it

Great little lens

I needed a walk around fast prime for my α6000 and found this lens with an unbeatable price. I bought it despite of the online mixed reviews and to my satisfaction I found that it is a great little piece of glass. Colours are very nice, sharp in the center but not in the corners, well built, light and tiny. The α6000 looks and feel like a traditional rangefinder making photography fun. The lens has its character and results are good, I like how it performs. Pros: it feels sturdy, lovely colours and contrast, wonderful price tag, smooth focus ring, light and right size Cons: very soft in the corners, although you can crop and think of it as a 40mm instead. Clickless aperture ring although this may be a pro for video.

Has a classic feel to it.

I got this lens for my Sony A7iii and I must say, I'm really pleased with it's performance and image quality. First off, the build quality is good. All metal (except focus and aperture ring). I really like the size, it's perfect for street photography. It has just the right softness in image quality, reminds me of film stock. I added a b&w rubber lens hood and it looks vintage cool. Uploading samples ( landscape setting in camera).

Good enough!

Does this lens employ the same Sonnar-type optical design described in 7artisans 35 f2 M-mount?
Asked by: Robert
The optical quality is the same with both lenses, however, the 7artisans Photoelectric 35mm f/2 Lens for Leica M is a smaller profile lens.
