7artisans 60mm F2.8 II V2.0 APS-C Format Macro Lens for Sony E-Mount

After uploading pics you can really zoom in and it doesn’t get pixeley. I’ll attach a few I’ve taken. Love this macro lens so much!!

I bought this lens to use it for dslr film scanning with my sony FX30. It works great, remember this lens is all manual. Definitely the cap cover is a little flimsy but overall the built and the feel of the lens is great. I also tried it for portraits and it gives a nice definition and the sharpness is fair. The important thing to note here is that this lens is usable between 5-8 F as it gives the best in range focus and sharpness so you will need good lightning. NOT GOOD FOR NIGHT PHOTO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, unless you use flash! I recommend this lens and try to grab it in discount. It is my first macro and I am satisfied with the price/quality ratio.

This lens is fully manual - manual aperture, manual focus. You know, like old school cameras. You WILL have to manually rotate the rings on the lens to use it. This isn't an issue or downside (some may see it as a feature!), just something worth being aware of. First, the bad: - The optics are smaller than more expensive macro lenses and especially at smaller apertures, it can really struggle to get enough light onto the camera sensor, so make sure you have some extra bright lighting if you need a lot of depth-of-field. - It is quite heavy. It is both the smallest lens I own, but also the heaviest. Neither of those are bad enough to matter in my opinion however. It still isn't that heavy, and you can always add more light. And it is not really a problem at wider apertures. The good is a much longer list: - Value. This is a whole lot of lens for the price. Rather than reducing the quality of the optics to reduce cost, they just reduced the size of the optics but retained the quality. This is not really a problem for a macro lens, and it was good trade-off. - Build quality. I mentioned this was heavy... well, that's because its built like a brick sh-t house. The body is all metal and not especially thin walled either. I am not even entirely sure how this lens is as heavy as it is... its a dense boi, that's for sure. - The results. You can actually photograph features that are microscopic with this lens. Without a microscope. I attached a 'die shot', a photo of a silicon die (a microchip). In the bottom right corner, there is a millimeter scale. The thing being photographed is an inkjet print head and some of its control circuitry. This was done with nothing but this lens and a Sony ZV-E10, no other special equipment. I also attached a video, a close up inspection of a circuitboard. This one isn't quite as easy to get a sense of scale, but there are a couple of black square things with a bumpy surface and silvery blobs around the edges - those blobs have a 0.5mm pitch. So the center to center distance of two adjacent blobs is half a millimeter.

I can already tell that this little lens will rarely come off my ZV-E10, which i use exclusively for photography. What a brilliant compact little macro kit. I prefer using MF on macro so this suits me perfectly. Set up your focus peaking settings, release without lens setting, and voila, you're good to play. IQ on this lens is brilliant, if you're into macro, watch Thomas Shahan's UTube review to see what this little beast can do. Thank you Amazon for a super fast delivery 🙌

By far one of the best, if not the best macro lens for the money. It takes stunning and breathtaking photos. This lens, although not designed for it, can take beautiful portraits. I’ve included a photo I took of my eye just to showcase the clarity and detail this lens can pick up for such an amazing price. Highly recommend it. I used a Sony A6100 for my camera which this lens works flawlessly with

Macro lens for Sony APS mirrorless bodies. Focuses from infinity all the way to 1:1 for stamps, coins, and jewelry. Excellent resolution. Slightest touch of color fringing in the corners (nicely fixed in Lightroom: Develop module, Lens Correction panel, check Remove Chromatic Aberration). For close-up and macro, the best aperture, no surprise, is f/5.6 not wide open.

An excellent lens at excellent price. The build of this lens is very sturdy and the picture quality is impressive at this price point. You can easy spend 5 times on a comparable lens of the same quality. I use it on my Sony a6000.

This is the second manual focus macro lens I have purchased for my camera. When I attached it, the manual focus mode was greyed out and it never showed the specific areas that might be in focus as I attempted to attain proper focus. Plain and simple, it just didn’t work as it should, so I returned it. Spend the extra money and get an autofocus lens compatible with your camera brand.

Als Anfänger in der Makrofotografie habe ich das 7artisans 60mm in meinen Fuhrpark aufgenommen. Die Verarbeitung fühlt sich wertig an, der Fokus- und der Blendenring laufen butterweich mit dem, wie ich meine, richtigen Widerstand. An die Fokusierung im Nahbereich muss ich mich noch herantasten, diese ist sehr feinfühlig, was aber für manuelle Makroobjektive generell gilt. Mit Offenblende 2.8 ist es eher Glückssache, den Fokuspunkt zu treffen, ab Blende 8 mit Fokus-Peaking an meiner Sony Alpha 6400 klappt das aber schon recht gut für Objekte, die sich nicht bewegen. Dazu hier ein paar unbearbeitete Beispielbilder (f11, 1/160s, ISO 640 bis 800, eingebauter(!) Blitz). Die letzte Aufnahme meiner Smartwatch habe ich mit Unterstützung der Meike Makroringe 10 und 16mm geknipst. Hier tauchen leichte chromatische Aberrationen auf, die man aber sicher in der Nachbearbeitung in den Griff bekommt. Am Makroobjektiv lassen sich die Makroringe sehr gut einsetzen, da der Fokus im Nahbereich besser aufgelöst ist. By the way, die Makroringe waren der erste Versuch, in die Makrowelt einzusteigen. Ich fand diese aber an einem normalen 50mm Objektiv zwar ok, war aber mit den Ergebnissen nicht ganz zufrieden. Deswegen habe ich mich dann doch für das Makroobjektiv entschieden. Ich finde, das Objektiv ist ein sehr guter und auch bezahlbarer Einstieg in die Makrowelt.

Vengo de usar anillos de extensión y el cambio para mejor es abismal. Si entra en tu presupuesto no lo dudes. Estoy como un niño con zapatos nuevos. Un bokeh muy bueno y un enfoque manual rápido, lo he usado también para fotografía que no es macro y me ha sorprendido gratamente. Últimamente lo uso para casi todo.

Fast delivery and a quality product. Don't let the lo price and name fool you, this is a top notch macro lens. Why pay 4x as much for a name lens when this does the job just as well. Recommended.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a more useful lens for this price! Sharpness on this thing is incredible. Build quality is my only complaint. It's a rugged lens to be sure but the aperture ring is clickless and can move with a brush of the palm as you're trying to focus. I'm already looking at the other lenses they have on offer.

Eccellente obbiettivo
