Product Overview
7artisans 35mm F1.2 is a large-aperture manual-focus normal prime lens for Canon EF-M-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Sony E-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by 7Artisans in 2017, it has 6 elements in 5 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. Unfortunately, 7Artisans has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A normal prime lens, the 7artisans 35mm F1.2 has the potential to be one of the most used and ultimately versatile option in a photographer's bag. Usually the easiest to design and to QC, it is a great option for landscape and street photography. Its bright maximum aperture also helps night and portrait works.
In 2020, 7Artisans introduced the Mark II version of the same lens.

Reviewer score 69%7Artisans 35mm F1.2 (159 euros) is a little more expensive than the other 7Artisans lenses priced at less than 100 euros. This is a fully manual lenses with aperture control on the lens (click less) and manual focusing ring, No Exif are transmitted to the body. The lens has some filed curvature so at fast aperture if you focus on the corners, centre will not be sharp and vice versa.
