What We Like
+Exceptionally compact and lightweight at 184g with only 49mm length for an f/1.4 lens
+Very affordable at $169 USD with impressive optical performance
+Beautiful, soft bokeh with creamy background blur characteristic
+STM autofocus with eye/face detection and USB-C firmware upgrade capability
+Multicoated optics with waterproof and anti-fouling coating for durability

Worth Knowing
−Autofocus motor is somewhat slow with initial lag, not as responsive as top-tier solutions
−Manual focus ring exhibits stepped rather than smooth linear focusing
−Noticeable geometric distortion at wider apertures that increases when stopping down
−Performance is mixed with some quirks; not an uncompromised budget lens

About This LensThe 7Artisans AF 35mm F1.4 gets high marks for being so compact and light for an F1.4 lens, and at just $169 USD it's a very affordable option. On Fuji X APS-C, the 35mm focal length behaves like a 52.5mm full-frame lens, offering a normal perspective similar to the human eye's field of view. The autofocus has a buzzy focus motor and is not quick, but the lens can produce lovely images with very soft, creamy bokeh and solid sharpness and contrast even at F1.4. | |
