Neewer 35mm F1.7 Large Aperture APS-C Manual Focus Prime Fixed Lens, Compatible with Fujifilm X-Mount Mirrorless Cameras, Including Fujifilm X-T3 X-Pro2 X-E3 X-T10 X-T20 X-A2 X-E1 X30 X70 X-M1, etc

Wow, what a lovely little lens. The sharpness is really quite incredible for this price. Of course it's soft at f/1.7, but is super sharp even at f/2.8. Very bad corners, however, so if you need a picture that is 100% sharp this is not for you. However, 80% of the frame is sufficiently sharp so you could always crop down to that area if required.The build quality on my copy is flawless. All metal body, which is nice. Good weight to it. The aperture and focus rings have a good resistance when turning them. I've heard some reports that the focus or aperture barrels can grind or become loose on some copies. My copy does not suffer that issue after 3 months of extensive use.Lastly, this lens is just fun to use. It's compact on the camera and the resistance in the focus and aperture rings makes it fun to shoot with.I give it 5 stars for what it is: a very cheap manual lens.PLEASE NOTE: make sure you enable 'shoot without lens' in your camera settings to use this lens. Since there are no electronics here the camera will not recognize that a lens is connected.

If you're a beginner photographer like me, you may be looking to try out other lenses than the kit lens that came with the Sony a6000. I wasn't sure what I was looking for in a new lens, but the wide aperture was really attractive to me since I wanted a lens for low light photography as well as cool background blur and selective focus effects like bokeh, so this lens really fit the bill. When I shopped around for a few days I found that this price just couldn't be beat, so really there was no downside to this lens at all. It's great and so much fun - get it! It's light weight, well built, fun, and easy to switch out. It looks good on the camera body and is great for night photography, portraits, and scenes, but don't expect to take any great photos of things that move very quickly (animals, children, etc.) because it takes a bit of time to get the manual focus and aperture settings just right.But, as I alluded to, if you're a beginner you may not know some of the tips and tricks that I just learned through extensive googling, so I thought I'd share this here.It's clear that this lens is fully manual and does not have autofocus. However, it was NOT clear to me how I would know how to take a good, crisp focus on anything when I'm focusing manually. I now accomplish this through a few things:1) Turn on the setting for "Focus Peaking" (better yet, make it a button shortcut on your a6000 if you can spare one so you don't have to select it from the menu every time. I'm using the "down" button shortcut). It helps highlight areas that the camera senses is in focus with a color of your choosing (yellow, red, or white), so you know if you're getting a sharp image with your current camera settings. It also helps you visualize what the depth of field will be for your current aperture settings. Pretty cool!2) Turn on the setting for "Focus Magnifier" (again, setting it as a button shortcut saves a lot of time! I use "C2"). It helps you by showing you a digital zoom of a section of your current shot that lets you see how crisp a zoomed in view of your subject is. I changed the "Focus Magnif. Time" to "No Limit" as well.3) Stay away from using the lens at its smallest apertures (around f/22). From all the shots that I took with closed down apertures, and all the videos that I watched about lenses and optics, it's clear to me that lens's smallest apertures just won't get you a high resolution, sharp image due to limitations of optics and diffraction (watch the "EO Imaging Lab 1.8: Depth of Field in Depth" video on Youtube for some education on DOF). Just stick to somewhere in the middle of the aperture range of the lens or less and you'll get some pretty good shots.4) Watch the "How Focus Works: Depth of Field, Distance Scale and Hyperfocal Distance" video on YouTube for info on depth of field, and how to read a hyperfocal distance meter, and what the hyperfocal distance means. If you can understand how to set the meter before taking a shot by recognizing your subject is within the hyperfocal distance that you set the lens to, you'll get great depth of field and resolution in addition to more forgiveness on not know exactly how far away the subject actually is from you. You'll also save some time because you're not focusing for the subject itself, but rather pre-setting the lens for the area that you want to photograph. This trick will help you for landscape shots if there's also stuff that's closer to you in the foreground.5) This lens when used on my a6000 and default Auto White Balance (AWB) gave me some strange yellow-ish tints, so I turned it off of AWB and am using a setting that gives me a closer approximiation to what the scene looks like to the naked eye. I think it's "underwater AWB" or something strange, but it works!6) If you are kind of a stubborn photography beginner like me, you probably want to keep trying to practice shooting in full manual. Although it's a valiant effort, you might miss some shots that you will regret because you're fiddling around too much! Let your camera help you by setting it to Auto ISO. Then you essentially be in full control of the Aperture, focus, and shutter speed only and not have to worry about a fourth setting.I think that's most of my tips and tricks, as told from a beginner. I hope this helps someone that's looking in to buying this lens!

Nice lens, especially for the money. The plus for me was native e-mount support. I've taken some sharp pictures without much trouble. The 35mm is a mild telephoto on an APS-C sensor. It's equivalent to the 50mm range in full frame cameras. Note: this is a manual lens. It does not have auto focus or auto exposure. You have to set up the camera to shoot without a lens, in the bizarre wording of the menus. As long as you enable focus peaking and MF assist (magnification) focusing is easy. If you set the mode dial to A(perture) and use a fixed aperture the camera will set the shutter speed. This is a good learning tool. You have to frame your shot and focus it yourself. Because it isn't a zoom you have to think about where you stand to take the picture.If you're interested in inexpensive manual lenses you should also investigate used film camera lenses. For Sony mirrorless you'll have to buy an inexpensive adapter. There's a whole world of manual lenses out there for under $100. The advantage to this one is that it's brand new and works very well.

So I have a Canon M50 and I had purchased this lens a few weeks age and returned it because it wasn’t working. Well I found out there is a setting you have to enable for the lest to work with the camera and I repurchased the lens. And it takes fantastic photos! The F Stop and Manual focus work great. There is no auto focus for this lens only manual. The construction is very well made mostly or all metal even the lens cap is metal. I’m not a professional (yet) but this lens seems to be a great value for the money I spent!

Very nice little lens and the price is just unbeatable. I am using it with the Sony A6300, and am really impressed with the results I am getting. Please be aware this a manual lens with no autofocus or stabilization - but if you are comfortable with adjusting your own aperture and focusing, this lens is really hard to beat. Control over depth of field and the beautiful, smooth bokeh is the real payoff with this lens.Build quality is very good - has some heft and feels very solid. The aperture and focus control rings are both very smooth and predictable.Stop reading and buy this lense - I very highly recommend it!

I'm giving it a 3 right off the bat because the rear lens cap does not tighten. I need to be sure the glass won't get dirty or scratched. I would hate to worry about losing the cap somewhere.It feels solid. Not too heavy or big. Smooth rings. I'll update it when I use the lens.UPDATE: This is a fun lens if you plan on shooting manual at all times. I used it a couple time and was pleased with the shots. At the end I returned it tho and decided to spend a little more on the sigma 30mm 1.4, I'm much happier.

No soy experto en la fotografía es más son aprendis, por la calidad en mi opinión es bastante buena , es un enfoque bonito y difumina el fondo bien , es manual , yo y un amigo más profesional notamos que el tomar fotos a distancias cortas está perfecto observas bien lo que quiere enfocar , pero si vas a una distancia mas amplea si es más complicado darle un enfoque presiso , a diferencia de otros lentes que te permite enfocar con un tipo zoom , lo recomiendo , tiene un bajo costo y es bueno , eso creo yo pero les repito soy aprendis , mi amigo que es más veteranos dice que está muy bueno siendo 35 mm y su costó

È a dir poco incredibile, piccolo robusto e molto preciso, lo utilizzo con una canon eos m6 e non mi sta facendo rimpiangere le ottiche più blasonate, ovviamente non ha la stabilizzazione e la messa a fuoco automatica ma con un po' di pratica si tirano fuori fotografie eccezionali, effetto bokeh più che soddisfacente, non si può pretendere di più. Sono già alla ricerca della prossima ottica di questo marchio, lo consiglio ad occhi chiusi! Acquistato con coupon, pagato all'incirca 56 euro, arrivato con 2 giorni di anticipo... Complimenti al venditore ma soprattutto a chi ha progettato questo piccolo gioiello.

At first I was hesitant to buy this lens but after seeing YouTube reviews, I bought it. After extensively using it for 2 months for photographing landscapes and portraits I can confidently say that this is one of the best purchases I made for my Canon M50.

El objetivo es estupendo, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta su precio. Para que la cámara te deje disparar, hay que habilitar la opción the disparar sin lente en los ajustes de función (menu/function settings/custom functions/release shutter w/o lens). Una vez hecho el resultado es fantástico.
