Nice lens, sharp dead in the center, soft on the edges at 1.4, nice build, focus ring is super smooth

I'm using it with a Leica TL2 and the camera does not recognize the lens. So, if you use it in Aperture or Shutter priority the camera will not show the exposure correctly on the screen. The only mode that works correctly is Manual but in this mode you cannot use the "focus aid" feature, so it is kind of hard to focus using the screen as a reference.. probably a good viewfinder will be the best way to use this kind of manual lens. I'm surprised with the built quality and image quality overall. Very fun to use! It is definitely a very good lens for the buck

Experience the fusion of professional-grade craftsmanship and innovative optical design with the 7artisans Photoelectric 55mm f/1.4 Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount. This high-quality, manual focus lens is a quintessential tool for photographers seeking to elevate their portrait work with a lens that offers a classic 85mm full-frame equivalent focal length when mounted on APS-C sensor size cameras.
Crafted with an advanced optical system comprising 6 elements in 5 groups, the lens adheres to the revered Gauss formula, ensuring images are rendered with precision and clarity. The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture not only facilitates shooting in low light conditions but also provides photographers with the versatility to achieve a shallow depth of field, accentuating the subject with a beautifully blurred background. The bokeh effect produced by this lens is particularly pleasing, making it an ideal choice for facial close-ups, half-length, and full-length portraits where subject isolation is desired.
The durable construction of the 7artisans Photoelectric 55mm f/1.4 Lens reflects its commitment to longevity and consistent performance. Its robust build quality can withstand the demands of daily use, making it a reliable option for both amateur and professional photographers.
In terms of image quality, the lens delivers sharp in-focus areas with a smooth transition to out-of-focus regions, creating a compelling visual contrast that brings attention to the subject. The innovative design of this lens ensures that it maintains high resolution and contrast across the entire image, even when shooting wide open at f/1.4.
This versatile lens is specifically designed for use with Micro Four Thirds mount cameras and is compatible with the APS-C lens format, offering a compact and efficient solution for photographers who demand excellence without the bulk.
Whether you're capturing intimate portraits, exploring the nuances of fine detail, or simply enjoying the art of photography, the 7artisans Photoelectric 55mm f/1.4 Lens is a testament to the fusion of high-quality optics and innovative engineering. Embrace the power of this professional, durable, and versatile lens to bring your creative vision to life.
