Not great optics

By Tendro
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-05-08

I used the lens for a bout a week, and I had enough of it. There three biggest issues are: (1) lens feels super tight to put on the camera I'm afraid it will make the camera mount loose for other lenses or will break the camera mount. (2) there is almost a fuzzy band out of focus in the picture. I have comparison pictures between this lens (50mm) and the super cheap 35mm f1.2 first version. The 35mm does not have the out-of-focus at the same stop, f1.4 and f2. (3) The last issue is that when adding a UV/haze filter as lens protection, the lens cap will not stay. Given the size of the glass, it is a matter of time before I get it scratched without a filter.

Very inexpensive, great lens for portraiture!

A bit soft at f/0.95 up to f/1.4 but quite sharp at higher f-stops. It works great on my Canon R7, but it would be nice if the seller would advise customers who buy this lens to set camera's: Release shutter w/o lens to ON.

Very beautiful bokeh, light and adorable, very sharp after f/1.4. Aberration is a bit serious @ f/0.95-f/1.4

Awesome Lens

Love this lens, was exactly what I was hoping for. Super well built, all metal, VERY heavy for its size. Honestly only complaint is that its a little too heavy on my xe4. Lens is fully manual, focus and aperture, and does not add lens information (including aperture) to meta date. Lens is soft wide open but stopped down a bit gets sharper than I had expected. They need to make a wide angle lens next, would buy it right away.

Cheap and works well

I hesitate to review a lens because I am not one obsessed with sharp focus and any technical aspects of lens optics. All I can really say is that it is cheap, it seems well built, it works well on my Fuji X-Pro3. I gave it four stars because how can you give a cheap lens five stars? If I used it often I might opt for the Fuji 50mm 1.0 at six time the cost, but for my infrequent use, it is well worth the price.

Tricky yet unique lens

This manual lens is one of a kind and worth experiment with. So much light coming in and shallow depth if field makes this a magical lens. I go back and forth with 23mm as my go to ones for Fuji T30 II.

Very well built lens.

Very high quality built lens. Very smooth manual focus, need to activate focus assist to get focus on the mark.

When used on the R5 or R6 does this lens force the camera into 1.6 crop mode with the resulting decrease in megapixels?
Asked by: George
No, the 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Canon RF is a completely manual lens that does not communicate with the camera. As such the camera does not know whether it is a crop lens or not. It is designed for a smaller sensor so you would have very significant vignetting wehn used on full-frame if you do not manually set the camera to crop.
