Product Overview

7artisans 55mm F1.4 is a large-aperture manual-focus short telephoto prime lens for Canon EF-M-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, Micro Four Thirds-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 telephoto prime lens, the 7Artisans 55mm F1.4 is well suited for portrait photography.
