About Lens
7artisans is an unaccustomed brand name among the lens makers of the world. I bought it about 55 USD in Aliexpress. Most of price tagged as about 55 to 80 USD to each different sellers, but actual real supply price known as under 50 USD from unofficial reliable source.
This lens is made for short flange back models – a.k.a mirrorless, and my choice was E-Mount. Whole material seems to made with Aluminium, focus and aperture ring rotates in very smooth, specially aperture ring not stepped as like formal lens.
Lens looks well matched with my NEX-5N black – I love so much, cold and hard feeling on my fingers, really smoothly rotating each control rings, what an excellent experience to me falling in memory of the past.
Depth of focus at F1.8 makes many blurred effect, and it occurs more when object closer than far. Lens minimal length of focus starts from 18cm from sensor, so most of shot should easier in door with 25mm wide degree.
Quality is much nice than I expected, specially each end side of lens, Little berrel distortion, little spatial distortion. This lens may really be a favor item when take shoots in Caf’e

Opinion
This lens gave me some fun to taking pictures today. Each time I need adjusting focus ring to object. Higher than average quality of result may gives many fun for amarture photographer. And recommend to using my MIOHDR app to better result.
