A: The 7artisans Photoelectric 12mm f/2.8 Mark II Lens for Canon RF is designed only for cameras with an APS-C sized image sensor; When used ona a full-frame camera like the R6, it will cause vignetting (dark shadows in the corners of each image).

[52 mm (Front)] Well priced and built like a tank.IQ is good. I only wish my R10 had more options in manual mode but that isn't the fault of the lens. These lenses are just easy and fun to use ! 5

Martin	12/09/2024
[1.265 lb] If you are a Fuji user this lens is a refreshing surprise. Excellent image quality as well as build quality. Highly recommended fast prime for the XT-3 5

[APS-C] Great balance with the weight and I love the compact size. I bought it on price and size and low light capability. It checks all those boxes. I can't objectively speak to image quality.... But I think it's good. 5

[f/16] I use this on a Z Cam E2. It works great. 5

[f/1.4] Bought this lens for doing Landscape and star trails. The lens really surprised me with the build quality and butter smooth turning of the focus. The Aperture stops have clicks which I like. I use this lens on my Nikon Z6II. Doing star trails with this lens is simply fantastic. The color rendition of the glass and beautiful star effects on bright lights simply looks great. Great sharpness too. Anyone looking into getting a wide landscape/Astro lens should really consider this lens. I plan on purchasing more lenses from 7artisans. As always, BH Photo service is second to none. 5

[APS-C] This lens reminds me of a cross between the old Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar lenses and a soft version of the Sigma 40mm f1.4 lens, when used with a short extension tube for close up work. The bokeh and flair make a magic mix in the right light for artistic effect... The center image can be razor sharp at times in these close ups and then drop focus faster than any lens I have worked with. The overall effect is elegant and with beautifully rendered accurate colors. At infinity the softness is high in corners when wide open, as expected. I cannot wait to try some BW portraits wide open. A True artist lens in right hands. Extremely well made. ( I shoot S1R Lumix) 5

[4.6 x 4.2 x 4"] I had not so good luck with two other 7artisans lenses but this one is great! The Fuji mount fits very tightly, but this is not a show stopper. The optics are very good and central sharpness wide open is excellent. Corner to corner, it sharpens up extremely well by F5.6. I shoot mostly landscape and in low light wide open it is surprisingly sharp across the frame. It has a large rear element and I've not noticed much vignetting. Focus and aperture rings move smoothly. No detents for aperture and I would prefer detents, but again this is not a show stopper. I haven't seen much Flare, if any. Bokeh near and far is very nice, no onion rings seen. This is a low cost fully manual (no electronics) lens, so I don't expect it to be equal to Zeiss Otus lenses, but I have been thrilled with its high performance, definitely punching above its weight optically. 5

[Canon RF] Love using this with the Nikon Zf. Beautiful design and really great results wide open. 5

Ernest	22/04/2024
[52 mm (Front)] I bought several 7 Artisan lenses - this fits the Lumix G95 far better than the 50mm F.095 for infinity / distance shooting. It is remarkably good glass, solid build and light weight. It is certainly sharp at slightly before F2 and onward. I have found it to be a very useful bit of Kit. The two photos show full frame and then a crop of the Moon - at F 8 - 10. It also has very good color rendition. At the price point it is an incredible buy. 5

[Manual Focus] This is the perfect lens for ultra wide angle sunsets/sunrises. Very sharp. The biggest knock on it was that it doesn't have a very short minimum focus distance, but that doesn't matter to me. This lens is very well built and has a nice heft to it on my S5. Feels good to get away from auto focus once in awhile and going back to manual focus. For the price, this lens is wonderful. 5
