Yeah - it's close.  Im OK with the vignette, the smudgy corners bothers me more.  It'll definitely be perfect on on M43.  Not sure what to do myself  My FE28mm doesn't get that much use - even ...

No - I wouldn't buy it for anything more than $50.  You can get used A6000 for similar and new ones go on sale a couple times a year - I got mine during the holiday sales for $400 and got free SD ...

Both are new and both I've seen a handful of threads.  The Sigma much cheaper -  but what I've read seems mixed.  It could be the MC11 adaptor, buggy firmware, or something else. Reviews of the ...

The lack of new Sony APS-C lens are already the most hotly debated topic on this forum. The Zeiss 24mm f1.8 is already one of the top regarded lens for APS-C here. If you are not happy with that - ...

Thanks Hinman, your original review of the Zonlai and inspiring photos helped make my decision to get the 7artisans a try.

Maybe I am a hard reviewer.  Just being honest.  I didn't just judge wide open.  I posted just as many shots stopped down.  And I just follow-up with with a stop down comparison all the way to ...

As promised here's a follow-up comparison shots between 7artisans 25mm f1.8, Sony FE28mm f2.0, Sony PZ 18-105 f4.0. As mention in my previous post center sharpness for the 7artisans is very good an ...

Here's my review for this lens: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59917554

Here's my initial review: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59917554

Long story short - it appear the 7artisans 25mm F1.8 lens is rebrand - slight update to the Zonlai/Discover 25f1.8. The biggest update is placing the focus ring upfront and the clickless aperture ...

The new (rebranded Zonlai/Discover?) 7artisans 25f1.8 featured here: https://www.dpreview.com/news/1415880892/7artisans-launches-range-of-low-cost-fast-lenses-for-mirrorless-cameras Will post a ...

Ah...an extra button and toggle - almost worth spending another $1000. Being facetious.  I know there's many other benefits like 4k, IBIS, better ISO, weather sealing, etc.  Just can't justify the ...

Native E-mount mechanically, not adapted.  But it's a 3rd party with no electronic pin connectors.   I assume even though Loxia is MF, it has electronic pin connectors to provide EXIF and trigger ...

I know the title sounds like a oxymoron.  But I just got my first full manual lens and I noticed that Focus Magnifier does not automatically turn on.  Using native Sony lens, when I put my A6000 ...

I got this 7artisans 25f1.8 manual here: https://www.amazon.com/7artisans-25mm-F1-8-Sony-Cameras/dp/B073F7RXVY/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1501602350&sr=1-3&keywords=7artisans Arrived in the ...

How many smartphones with camera are sold per year vs. DSLR? I think the statement can qualify the statement "...for most people."

Or you can give your wife your A6000 and upgrade yourself to a A6500 instead :-D

That's on your A6000?  I guess I should run the update.  Honestly I thought it focused pretty well on v3 already...even compared to the 35f1.8...though F1.8 the depth of field is much shallower ...

Must be DPR staff - the more posts (bickering), the more traffic and ads served.  Good for business.  ;-)

I feel the 35f1.8 produces colder colors particularly on skin tones.  I don't love this lens either, but like you I'm keeping it due to it's the widest f1.8 prime w/OSS that Sony makes.  So it's ...
