7Art 50 1.8 MF sonyE. Doesn't focus to infinity. Came with a "focus wrench" but no instruct. No answer from 7A. Can you help me?
Asked by: Kenneth
If the 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E is not focusing to infinity it is defective. The lens should focus to infinity from the factory. The user does not need to do anything other than turn the focus ring to focus to infinity.

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.
