What We Like
+Ultra-compact and lightweight at 165g, ideal for travel and everyday carry
+Bright f/1.7 aperture excels in low-light conditions and produces strong bokeh for subject separation
+Excellent build quality with all-metal construction and smooth, well-damped controls
+Close focusing distance of 20cm enables macro-style photography and creative compositions
+Exceptional value at around $75 USD with multi-coated optics and solid performance
Worth Knowing
−Manual focus only with no autofocus; requires practice and modern camera focus-peaking aids for accuracy
−Soft corner sharpness and vignetting when wide open at f/1.7; best results when stopped down to f/5.6-f/8
−Infinity focus point overshoots, requiring slight adjustment backward to achieve accurate infinity focus
−Prone to flare at wide apertures; lens hood essential for backlit shooting

Read our notes on general
The Pergear 25mm f/1.7 is an ultra-affordable, compact manual-focus prime designed for APS-C mirrorless systems with a versatile 37.5mm equivalent focal length. Its bright f/1.7 aperture, solid all-metal build, and exceptional value make it ideal for budget-conscious photographers and those learning manual focus, though wide-open sharpness, vignetting, and the need for focus-peaking assistance are notable limitations best mitigated by stopping down.
