p.1 #1 · 7Artisians 28mm 1.4 tests coming


Not sure where the other thread is so apologies in advance. But I decided to buy one this morning been thinking about it for awhile. I really want to try it. Right now I got this gap between the CV 21 3.5 and my CV 40 1.2 so a 28 ay fit in nice plus I had thoughts of selling the 40 and get the 50 E coming out . So I could go 21,28,50 as well. But I need to test this first and see if I truly like it. I should get it next week and I’ll run it against Big Bronco which may eat it alive. But have to see. We’ve been pretty desperate for a 28 so illl take one for the team and run it through its paces. I grabbed it off Amazon with a 25 dollar coupon they are offering so 486 - 25 = 461 net. I got a long wait till my Sony 135 comes so I need a new toy to play with. Well I also have a nice road trip at the end of the month too. So a little more reason to grab one now. I did like some of the images I have seen from it. Not sure it will be a landscape type lens but it sure is a funky one.

Really looking forward to this test. It's a criminally underserved focal length on Sony, and the size and aperture of the 7Artisans are very appealing.

My only concern will be induced field curvature on the Sony sensor.

As I and others have reported, it is not an issue.

Well that’s what we are going to find out. There are 2 left. Come on Fred get one.

I think we need a little arm twisting here.

“[28mm is] a criminally underserved focal length on Sony.” Never was a truer word spoken.

My main use for it would be landscapes but how does the 26-point sunstar looks like?
Any samples?

I agree but there is a FE 28/2....which is not really 28mm imo.

Opinions aside, the FE 28/2 is superb in Infrared where the 7 A falls short.

I have the FE 28/2, which I should have sold long ago. I stand by by description of it in another thread as a nothingburger lens.

I hope this wasn't an eBay Speedpak shipment. If it is, it may be awhile before you see it update, move, move on to the USPS, and then be delivered.
