Great value for the money. Very good bokeh and lets in a ton of light into the lens. Happy with the purchase. Produces a very shallow depth of field and seems to be very well built. Optics are clear and nice . Really a must add for any collection

I’ve used this lens for around 2 weeks and it’s become a favorite of mine. Manual focusing is a tricky skill but it’s gotten easier over time. I have been using this alongside the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and the Brightin Star lens is sharper and faster (they do get similar results the more you stop them down). The only time I would opt for the Sigma instead is if I need autofocus (I do need to update the firmware as it’s a little unreliable on my R7 right now).I’ve used several manual lenses on my Canon R7 since there aren’t many options for lenses especially 3rd party so I definitely recommend this one as it has phenomenal optics and you won’t fire a faster lens than this. It’s tricky to nail focus at .95 but when you do, it’s very sharp.It came recommended to me by some other YouTubers who raved about it and they were t wrong.It’s perfect for street photography since it’s small. As opposed to most of my lenses, it adapts natively to my Canon since it comes in an RF mount. That really lessens the footprint. It is a little heavy since it’s made of all metal but not having an adapter more than balances things out.If you’ve never tried a manual lens before but are in the market for a fast, all around solid lens, I’d say get this one over spending over twice as much for the Canon 35mm 1.8. Autofocus is always great but if you don’t shoot moving subjects, I think you’ll find this lens and other manual focus lenses lead to more thoughtful photography.

The lens is really good for the price. It’s a softer vintage styled image (don’t expect ultra sharp images that’s can be printed as wall art) but the f/1.7 comes in really handy for night photography. The compact size makes for a good walk-around package with the Fuji cameras.

I mounted this lens to a Fuji xe2. Lens is very compact and heavy. Which is good. It’s mostly metal and seems to have great build quality. The focus throw is smooth and the few images I’ve taken so far have been sharp. The aperture stops don’t click or lock in place. I got this lens specifically because reviewers stated that the aperture ring had click increments. I don’t like how it’s all smooth. The aperture action feels the same as the focus. I’m keeping the lens as it was inexpensive and seems to take great photos and has a very nice build quality. I’ll probably use it for a portrait or nighttime lens. I wanted clock stops so I could throw it in my jacket pocket and quickly pull it out without worrying if aperture moved. Very nice lens otherwise

Whatever we buy always comes down to value vs cost and need. This lens seems well manufactured and as long as your comfortable with a manual focus lens (and you're not a professional photographer), this lens will suffice.You're not going to get extreme sharpness with this lens as you would a lens that costs 4x as much or more. At .095, don't expect much. Stop down your aperture to 2.0 and the pictures get sharper throughout the image. For portraits, I think this is a great lens as it is NOT so sharp. We all aren't airbrushed and I think a little softness on our portraits isn't a bad thing.If you're a hobbyist or just a person with an interchangeable lens camera, this is a great lens for you. If you're a pro or a person who gets joy from magnifying your image 500x and finding CA or distortion, pass on this lens.

I chose this store after comparing online for a long time. The lens is very textured and small and exquisite. This product exceeded my expectations! Not only is the quality high, but it is also fully functional. I have not found any defects so far, and it is very cost-effective.

I really love the texture, feeling, material of this solidly built lens. Really love the feeling of manually adjusting the parameters. The huge aperture, nice, great, I love the depth of field.However, the chromatic aberration of this lens does make me annoyed. Considering its price, I am still giving it a 5-star, but for now I will only use it for B&W mode. I will leave some sample images for your reference.

Great quality in perfect conditions, but bad in lowlight, no autofocus, smooth
