7artisans60mm F2.8 APS-C Macro Fixed Lens for Olympus Panasonic Micro Four Thirds MFT M4/3 Cameras Like Panasonic GH3 GH4 GF1 GM1 GM5 Olympus E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 Black

This macro lens is a great bargain. It's very sturdily built with a metal barrel and fits snugly onto the camera. The focus ring has enough resistance to prevent accidental turning and the aperture ring turns smoothly (it has no stops, though).Image quality is very good indeed (see photos). The bokeh is soft and out of focus areas look very smooth and pleasing. It makes really good macro images.The downsides? It's very heavy, it has massive focus breathing (but it's not like that matters for macro work) and there is no autofocus. But then what do you expect for the price point? It has great image quality for the price.

This lens is well built and easy to manually focus. The images captured are very sharp with pleasing colours and good bokeh. This lens can focus very close and the 60mm focal length is less of an issue on APS cameras. I’m using this on a Fujifilm XH1 and it compares very well against my Nikon DSLRs fitted with Nikon macro lenses.

This is a lens that says “Slow down and think before pressing the shutter” Manual focus and stepless aperture means you can’t rush things. Image quality is really good once you go beyond f5.6 .The zipper was taken on an X-T10 using JJC 11+16mm extension tubes. It’s built like a tank and very weighty. All in all excellent value for money.

I bought this lens as I needed something simple for scanning film negatives. The build quality is very solid and focusing at macro distances is nice and easy. The only flaw for my purposes is the lens exhibits significant focus breathing when focusing at close distances, which makes framing a little bit tougher.Overall this is a fantastic lens if you only want quality optics and don't need all the extra functionality provided by the Fujinon macro lenses

Excellent quality item, beautiful metal and feels really strong. Lovely packaging too - pristine for those who like to keep the boxes like me.Delivery was super quick and really securely packaged too. Great tracking provided and good communication

It's an ok build, solid and nice resistance on focusing, but the quality is just not there - no f stops (just twist to approximately right place), extending and movement on focusing makes it difficult to work with, but the worst is that optically this is just disappointing - it's ok for quick and small snapshots, so social media level only, and you'll get the same quality as from the phone in terms of actual lens resolution.All I can say is AVOID THIS PRODUCT, it's very cheap for a reason - you're better off with vintage lenses and adapters.

I bought this lens to pair with an X-T2 when I realised we were going to be spending significantly more time at home this year.I've never shot macro before, but I've found this lens to be an excellent budget option to start experimenting with around the garden or in my makeshift indoor studio.The long barrel takes quite a bit of getting used to, but it can be removed which is certainly a plus. Manual focus is obviously the trade-off, so one can't rely on automated focus stacking options, but that really is the only drawback I can find at this price point.Recommended.

Not botherd by the weight it excellent build quality. Last for ever

Ho comprato questo obiettivo per montarlo sulla mia Sony Alpha 6000.Sono alle prime armi, quindi devo lavorare sulla messa a fuoco 😅Temevo che un 60 mm non fosse abbastanza per catturare i dettagli, ma mi devo ricredere!Ottimo prezzo. Nemmeno così pesante, come letto in altre recensioni.Lo consiglio 👍

Vraiment bon !Mise au point douce, bonne qualité optique, un prix qui défie la concurrence.En bref, c'est un très bonne objectif macro !Avant j'utilisait des bagues allonge (jusqu'à 4 bagues) que j'ajoutais ou enlevais pour différent grossissement.Appréciant la photographie macro, je me suis donc lancé dans le choix d'un objectif macro.Devant le prix d'autre marque qui grimpe très vite, et n'ayant une utilisation qu'a des fins de loisirs de la photo, je ne voulais pas mettre des sommes folle dans un objectif.Après avoir regarder plusieurs avis et test, celui ci semblait vraiment bon et pour un prix très correcte.Et je doit bien avoué que je confirme les tests, cette objectif est vraiment bon.Par contre, attention tous de même car il nécessite possiblement un rodage !En effet, lorsque je l'ai reçu et installé sur mon boitier, l'objectif ne se maintenait pas (le petit ergot de blocage ne clipsait pas dans le trou prévu à cette effet).Ce qui fait qu'a chaque tour de mise au point, c'était tous l'objectif qui tournait.J'ai donc insisté en montant et démontant l'objectif sur le boitier (Environs une 15ene de fois) jusqu'à se que l'objectif clips bien et que plus rien ne bouge même en forçant dessus.Je tenais à signaler se problème si jamais vous rencontrez se problème lors de la première utilisation car c'est vraiment un bon produit !

Ho comprato questa versione dell’obiettivo ignorando che ne esisteva una versione più recente. Pensavo di restituirlo subito per prendere la versione II. Quando mi è arrivato, l’ho provato e ho deciso di tenerlo. Relativamente a quello che costa lo trovo veramente un ottimo prodotto. Tutto in metallo e bello pesante. A tutta apertura ha una resa decisamente soddisfacente. Lo consiglio vivamente. Poi se prenderete la versione II credo che sarete ugualmente soddisfatti.

Mi otro objetivo macro es el clásico Tamron 90 mm 2,8 (para APS-C y para FF) de hace 25 años. En APS-C es equivalente a 140 mm de FF. Siempre he pensado que era demasiada distancia focal. La ventaja evidente es que no hay que acercarse tanto al sujeto, pero a cambio el enfoque es más crítico (y aquí no buscamos bokeh), además de que es casi imposible disparar a mano (habría de ser a 1/300 como mínimo, y que no tiemble el pulso, tanto por no mover la foto, como por no desenfocarla). Este 7artisans 60 mm macro 2,8, puesto en micro 4/3, es equivalente a 120 mm en FF. Parecido al caso anterior. No espantas al insecto al no tener que acercarte tanto, pero cuando miras la foto en el PC aprecias un buen porcentaje de fotos movidas o desenfocadas.Mi ejemplar procede de Warehouse. Ha llegado en condición impecable. Sorprende su sensación de calidad y buen ajuste, así como su gran peso. A juzgar por el aspecto parece pertenecer a una categoría superior. Tiene buena nitidez, sin llegar a sorprender para ser un macro. La mayor parte del tubo que sobresale al enfocar de cerca es un parasol (metálico) que se puede desenroscar. En lo que queda al retirar ese parasol, se puede enroscar un filtro de 37 mm como anclaje para un flash anular, pero sólo en el tramo entre 0,275 y 0'26 m; es decir, en la máxima ampliación (llega a 1:1). En el resto no se puede, ya que el tubo de la lente frontal del objetivo queda escondido dentro del cuerpo principal del objetivo. Supongo que hay forma de ponerle un anillo de velcro en la parte ancha y sujetar ahí el flash anular, pero dada la distancia al sujeto, que siempre es generosa, veo preferible emplear un flash convencional con difusor. No menciono que se trata de un objetivo sin autoenfoque, ya que en macro está muy extendido el enfoque manual. Estoy satisfecho con este objetivo. En mis pruebas le habla de tú a tú al que he citado al principio, lo cual es decir mucho. Mi cámara tiene un estabilizador de cinco ejes en el cuerpo, y es famosa por hacer milagros en las fotos a baja velocidad, pero este objetivo macro suele escapar al milagro. Mucha luz o trípode, y paciencia si se trata de animales, o de flores en días con viento.

Excellent micro lens in all aspects that would please photograph be it professional or serious amateur.I own Nikkor 60 mm macro ( new and old versions ),105mm and 200mm f4.0 and this one with z mount doesn’t only stands up for its optical quality but also surpasses with handling and ease of use.If all 7 artisans lenses are of the same quality, I’ll try them all.
