I won’t buy another Sony 28 again so that’s off my radar. Been through at least 4 of them. Also I want a real manual focus 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.

Unfortunately, it is Rich. Guy already told me that haha. Waiting now.

Mine went through Amazon with Pergear folks. I bought Godox flashes from them and all good and very quick shipment. There based in China. I added 10 dollars for there expedited shipping. I’m getting March 11-14 dates. I’m watching it

You can buy it directly from 7 artisans @ aliexpress. They ship with DHL for free.

I thought about it but Amazon has a nice return policy. Just in case

Guy, they will accept returns even after a month or two or more. Mine can still go back (ring flare issue) but I am still undecided about a return as it is a well centered and (other than the ring flare) a stellar sample.

If there’s no Bronco test then it didn’t happen we need a Bronco on this one - to put it to eternal fame or shame

Agree 110 percent. Either the bull stomps the crap out of it or the Matador wins the battle.

I’ll check my Sony 85 1.8 when I’m there but looks good from what I can tell now

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


Also, with corrections disabled, it works like some sort of long fisheye - which no other manufacturer can offer

I should have. There was a seller on the auction site that sold it for $430 + 10% ebay bucks. And at the time it was a pre-order on both B&H and Adorama.

I'm not sure about the US market, but 7Artisans offers two versions of this lens in China. One is the original M-mount version optimized for Leica sensor stack, while the other one is still M-mount and requires an M-E adapter to be used on a Sony body, but optimized for Sony sensor stack, which is called "FE Plus version". You can view these two versions on their official online store page in Chinese: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-b-s.w4011-18098948284.55.577e13249EsDUv&id=583904598778&rn=aafaa5092b713a065b34f1c54740e525&abbucket=20&sku_properties=29029:129275117;5919063:6536025

How do we know which one we are buying? It is marked on the lens? Seem a bit confusing.
