Can you get a great lens for $125? We tested the 7Artisans 55mm F1.4 to find out. How does this budget friendly lens compare to the medium- and high-end lenses we usually review?
Photographer Dustin Abbott shares a review and image gallery of the bargain 7Artisans 55mm F1.4 lens for mirrorless APS-C (and M43) cameras.
Thanks to quite convenient focus assist system, it's a joy to use true manual focus lens on Fuji X cameras. It's the main reason I use these third party lenses available for Fuji X mount. One of my favourite adapted lens on Fuji X camera is the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5. It's designed for a full frame cameras, and is a bit heavy, but I like it for its small size and decent moderate sharpness - it's also great for portraits. Of course an APS-C alternative should be optically smaller so I have for a long time looking for other options. The 7artisans 55mm F1.4 made quite an interesting candidate, partly due to attractive price, but also for its 14-blade aperture.
