The 5 stars is not for absolute quality, only value for $. I shoot multicam video with both full frame and aps-c, and this lens has come in handy as an extra medium length fast lens in my bag. It's almost free (comparatively), so I picked it up on a whim. I wouldn't shoot a product catalog with it, but the shallow depth of field, and speed have proved quite nice on occasion.

to my surprise it's wildly versatile, with this being my first purchase of a fully manual lens, I'm excited to take it out more into the field and take some experiment shots. recently took it to a shoot for video and it came in clutch since lighting was a bit dark. for under $100 i think that this is an absolute steal for someone starting out like me.

Just what I needed

I don't use it as much as I thought I would. Traded it for a zoom lens for versatility

will this work on a Sony A7?
Asked by: Darren
The 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E is for Sony cameras with a APS-C size sensor. You could mount it on the Sony a7 and set the camera to crop mode. If you do this you lose the advantage of shooting with a full frame camera and you will get a small file size. So it is not recommended.

can Panasonic DMC-G2 use this lens?
Asked by: PakWidodo
Yes. As the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Digital Camera uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount, yes, the 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds would be compatible for use on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 Mirrorless Digital Camera. Do note this is a fully manual lens, so you will have to focus the lens manually and you would set the aperture using the aperture ring built onto the lens.
