Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
This is a compact, affordable autofocus 40mm prime with a full set of physical controls, positioned against similar Chinese-made 40mm lenses. The one professional review praises good sharpness from f/2.5, pleasing bokeh, the controls and the small size and weight, and criticises weak flare resistance and some field curvature at infinity around f/4 to f/5.6, which clears when stopped down for landscapes.
From 7Artisans:
Feather-light. Endless vision. AF 40mm F2.5 Full-frame Lens — available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and L-Mount. A 90g pancake-style autofocus prime from the 7Artisans LITE series.
