I found this lens for 25 bucks in a local book store! Brand new, in box, and best of all, in the Eos M mount that I shoot with! I couldn’t believe the luck. I overlooked it for months because of the plain box but I’m glad I finally noticed it

For the money - it's a lovely lens - I also got mine second hand in a Canon EOS M mount. Lots of possibilities with it. It's like stepping back in time.

Great review! You have amazingly pleasant video footage. And I loved that image of the girl in the salon taken through a narrow space. Black and white made it awesome. I am a complete beginner and this lens honestly sounds super exciting because you can get your hands on f1.8 without donating a liver. So it sounds fun and you can also experiment with MF. Also like that the bokeh is good because I enjoy those kind of shots.
Yup this, lens is super fun to use, and sometimes the fact that things are cheap makes it all the more fun to use cause you become more and more engrossed in seeing how far you can push the lens with such little money invested. Btw if you haven't subscribed already do consider subscribing for more reviews like this :)
@@QippysChannel Completely agree! Being able to use a quality image lens with f1.8 at a cheap price makes it all the more exciting! Because I would never consider buying a branded f1.8 with AF which costs hundreds of Canadian dollars, especially for a beginner. I heard the Meike is basically the same except without the soft edges of the 7Artisans so that sounds appealing and they are only $5 apart at $100cad. The only other consideration I have is the Panasonic HH025 LUMIX G Lens, 25mm, F1.7 ASPH for $200cad. But I would be paying $100 extra for AF (and also a better quality lens of course). But it's a decision I'm still trying to make. Do you have any feedback to this? Oh and, I already did subscribe :) Edit: And there is also the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 Aspheric G for $217 USED* on B&H. So that's the lowest 20mm f1.7 option I will have.
@@nimkal wow, the Meiki does sound appealing as that’s not too much more to pay in comparison, As for the Panasonic Lens I have not tried that as I am using the 7 artisans on a Fuji body , so Panasonic bodies is definitely not goin to fit on the FX mount, thanks for subscribing btw 😊
My favorite purchase in a long time. As for the video, I would have preferred fewer pans and more samples. I have some practical use samples in my video on this lens.
Thumbs up, first off, great review. The editing is creative and flows. Constructive criticism if I may, while I LOOOOOVE jazz music, I struggled with keeping my attention to your narration. Maybe bringing the music down a couple of notches. And for the price, I am adding this lens to my collection.
It's a great lens for street if you are familiar with hyperfocal distance and zone focusing. However, the markings of this lens (all three: focus distance, hyperfocal scale & aperture) are COMPLETELY off, like way way off. They are so off it seems they are for decoration only. Anyhow, after figuring out where the real F stops are, and marking out my own preferred hyperfocal distance, this lens is great for street, just point and shoot, faster than any AF lens.
Yeah u are right, the markings are pretty much there for decoration only, one thing that I also love about thiis lens which I didn’t immediately mention in this review is its abilty to focus real close that itvhas a bit of macro capability to it and being slightly wide too u can get really interesting macro’s with showing some of the background too, and I find that so unique about this lens and really makes it a gem in my opinion
Edges are slightly soft when you go 100% But you'd really have to be that much of a pixel peeper to go that way. I love mine. It's a workhorse and I've taken some amazing shots with it.
Yeah I hardly pixel peep , as long as the shot looks sharp enough to my liking I’m cool, it’s an amazing lens i must say, and another hidden gem about this lens is that it has a macro capability while still being relatively wide, love it 👍😊
@@QippysChannel it's sharp down the center and lets face it, even on my 24mpx camera (fuji xt2), I can crop out by cropping down the shot to take out the edges if I really feel the need to. What I haven't. I would say for $50, it is value returned on money spent pretty much from the first shot.

It’s nice , however pull focus accurately due to the nature of the lens being small and having a short focus throw , you need to be just a little more careful compared to a proper cine lens with long focus throws
Thanks so much, no I haven’t tried that lens , however I have tried the 23 1.4 from TT Artisans and I thought it’s really nice , do check out tht review 😊 👉 TT ARTISAN 23mm F1.4 - A Lens with Character for less than $100! ua-cam.com/video/gucXoilPTb8/v-deo.html
I'm looking for a cheap lens like this and it's nice to hear people being so positive about their attributes. But reagarding the 'declicked' aperture ring. I suspect it is a cost cut. Cheaper to produce. As for better for filmmakers, how many non pro filmakers use aperture like that. Not sure of the technique's name, closest I could find is Iris Racking, equivalent to focus pulling. I suspect there's no way to implement this effectively on a tiny lens while filming because it would certainly involve some camera movement or focus pulling anyway. Cameras that actually have this as a feature have geared rings to which devices are attached so that the focus puller can work at an albeit small distance from the lens. I would suggest that a better use of the declicked aperture would be to have a more variable aperture, the spaces inbetween the stops that are normally not accesible.
I found this lens 2nd hand for 45€s in my area. Kind of on the edge if I should get it. Already got a fujinon 35mm..i dont know if 25mm will feel wide enough for street. At any case beautiful review 🖤
Thanks so much for tuning in, at this price u really can’t go wrong by picking it up. If you don’t like it it wont hurt as much hehe, also u cam always check out my affiliate links too 😆
Yup, I love these cheaper lenses these days cos it reminds me of how I first started with my early Prime lenses when I first got really interested in Photography, and it keeps reminding me that you don't really need to spend alot on a lens to get great results :)
I received this lens this week. But it looks like there is an error on the focus ring. The values of FT and M do not seem to correspond to reality. For example, I focus on a subject 1 FT (30cm) away from the camera, then the focus ring indicates a higher value of 2.5 ft (76cm) Or do i mis something here. But i lave the lens already :D
Ridder van Doorne thanks so much for the feedback, i think for a lens of this caliber we really have to take what they do at face value only, as there’s no way to say that it was manufactured accurately due to its low cost, i will have a look at mine too, and see if the measurements are off too, btw if you do like reviews like these I hope you could be kind to subscribe to this channel to help this community here to grow 😊
great review! the images were pretty nice and sharp! I was in the market for a vintage 24mm f2.8 since some can be found dirt cheap but from my experience, the images a vintage lens produces are never as sharp as newer lens technology no matter how cheaply made the lens is. So, thanks for this review! I may just have to pick one up. also, at 25mm, its pretty easy to nail focus.
Cheers really appreciate the kind comments, thanks true about older lenses generally not being sharp , but I guess where it lacks in sharpness in gains in character , I’m glad now you fell like grabbing one yourself, not I need to find a way of how 7artisans can pay me for free advertising heheh
soumyajit paul i would love to say I know the answer to that, but to be honest I can’t answer tht question because to be fair I haven’t had the opportunity to try the Kamlan 28 1.4, but it really depends i guess on how you shoot, if you’re a medium sort of focal shooter then I think the 35 will suit you best but if u like wider focals then the 25 is a really good focal range to work with 😊
@@bastihalligalli9222 go with the 25 1.8. I must have returned the other ones. I cant even find it in my collection. Then again i have way to many lenses. The 25 1.8 is a solid 3.5 star lens. Got tired of it and sold it, but then I bought it again. Its light weight and images are overall good. Amz gives it a 4/5 from their customer reviews. For the price you really cant go wrong with it.
No I’m its very short, but for a one man band I cam’t of like tht because its easier to focus with shorter throws but i have to admit sometimes can miss the spot 😅
Amalia Rus i think they do make for m mounts actually :) , btw if tou did find this review helpful pls don’t for getvto subscribe tomour channel to help this community here to grow to better serve everyone 😊 , stay safe
Awesome video! Would you recommend it for a music video? The camera would be on a tripod and the subjects would be sitting down and moving slightly singing and playing an instrument. Do you think the subjects would get out of focus?
Javier Santiago generally speaking because of its small size it maybe slightly hard to always nail the focus, but maybe u can get away with it if u do a few rehearsal runs and see which take came out the best
There were various, top down scenes was shot on the Fujifilm X-t3 with a 18-55 kit lens, other scenes were all films on an EOS R, some scene of which were shot on the EF 85 1.2L II, I think I used extension tubes with a 50 1.2L in one of the close ups, if not it may have also been the Macro 50mm 2.5 with with a 1.1 Life-size Converter...For Lighting I used the 120D by Aputure with a Lightdomw as my main key light..

But only thing I can probably say is that if the lumix lenses are to be used on a M4/3rd sensor body then you are definitely goin to get less shallower depth of field that’s for sure .

Great review, mate! Do you find that the distance indicator on the focus ring is off? Cheers.
Thanks so much! Yeah it can be a little i think 😅
@@QippysChannel Thanks for the quick reply! I just got mine today after watching your video last week. The lens has a lot of character and is very solid. I will just have to manually select my focus distance with focus peaking for zone focusing, haha. Stay safe!
@@eldorado5650 wow cool , nice to jnow I influenced your purchase hehe, hopefully u did use my affiliate links hehhe, btw wat are u using it on? Also if you haven’t already subscribed do consider subscribing for more content like this 😊👍
I love these type of lenses, but i've searched for weeks but found NOTHING for DSLR in these brands, why is it that all of theses lenses are only made for mirrorless? i'm new to photography and i really don't understand.
Actually there are many third part brands out there that you can get for your D-SLR, they include brand like Laowa, Rokinon, Samyang, Voigtlander etc
@@QippysChannel Thank you very much, tbh i thought Voightlander was a vintage brand! After checking the only downside is that they are not as cheap as 7artisans :D !
Music is way to loud, but hey no matter, its a very good and cheap lens... stands out for blacknwhite photos
Tom Wd. 😊I love this lens.
What about the Neewer 25 f1.8?
Basti Halligalli I can’t say anything about it because I haven’t tried it at all , but do let me know what u think if u have 😊
Hey nice vid ! Is this lens any good to shoot the sky on a budget ? :)
Paul Guerin thanks 😊, you mean the night sky? Well if so, then lens can be more tricky at nailing infinity focus , so you would to make sure you fine tune it before exposing it
You killed it with all the bokeh eye candy! What lens did you use to shoot the XT3 segment?
Thanks so much, i think it was the 50mm 1.2L 😊
@@QippysChannel Ah, so it wasn't a 7art lens. That makes sense I guess. If that was with a 7art lens I'd have been shocked!
@@SamBorgman haha, yeah but its close foxusing distance isn’t that great 😅
Good sharpness, but moderate colors.
Tubal Kain oh is it, i guess it may vary according to taste 😊👍
..is it fits with the original sony a7?
nikki hipolito yes if you do get the e-mount version of it 😊
But i think you need to use the crop sensor mode
Naradhipati Andaru yes ure right if not they may be some vignetting
Qippy, can you do the Meike 28mm f2.8 please?
Hmm, I need to see if anyone is willing to loan me one , but thnks for the suggestion 👍
Hi man! Great video! Thank you 🙏 how it lens for video? Maybe you have some examples?

Great review, I want to buy this lens mainly to record videos, Is it possible to record videos with this lens I have Sony A6300?
bestvideos123 Thanks, yes you can, all you need to do is get the e-mount version of it 👍
@@QippysChannel Thank you for the quick replay, Do you mind sharing a link of the E-mount version as I am having a hard time finding it online.

Music is a little too loud, othrwise, good review.
Thanks so much, yeah definitely noted 😆
Hi Qippy just thinking you need to turn the music down as it's pretty annoying and distracting ! Just saying .....
Haha yeah I know, my newer reviews have lesser loudness in the music department now 😅
That's great you have remedied the volume because that would have been a big turn off for you trying to build your subscriber base :-)
Yes it is "any" good
Reduce the background music volume, very distracting.
Yeah heheh, this was back in day when I was always having louder music to get in the mood of the video, but yeah I agree it has to be reduced quite a bit 😆
Subbed :)
Avalon thanks so much 😊😊
Yo! Nice review dude, how would you compare ito to 25mm lenses of lumix g or m zuiko?
Thanks bro! I wish I could tell however i have not tried those lenses so wouldn’t be a fair assessment I guess. But only thing I can probably say is that if the lumix lenses are to be used on a M4/3rd sensor body then you are definitely goin to get less shallower depth of field that’s for sure . Hope that helps 😊
Dude you gotta turn down the music! way too loud!!!
Yeah I knk, sorry, my newer video are less loud now 😅😆
No music. This is not a movie/TV show/documentary so music is just annoying.
Thanks for tuning in though, appreciate your time to leave me the feedback 😊
Nice Video, but the music is annoying
Thanks for watching and noted:)
Lens is very good, but the loud anoying music isnt...
Tom Wd. Opps sorry 😆
Music is annoyingly loud
is that ikea haha
CK Leong sure is! So pls do like share and subscribe to your fellow Malaysian! 😆
The music is annoying. Music isn't necessary.
Talk less, play less music, and show more test pictures. This is a review and not an entertainment show.
Jimijabjab thanks for the feedback however that’s exactly how I wanted to make my review and that’s why I chose youtube to do it as I have total freedom of how I want to make my reviews, thanks for watching though 👍
@@QippysChannel I don't agree with Jimijabjab, this video was great! Loved the music, loved the pacing!
