It’s tiny. Like really tiny. I thought my Sony E 20mm f/2.8was small, but it’s nothing compared to the 7Artisans 18mm f/6.3 II I just unboxed. But with a fixed f/6.3 aperture and no autofocus, it’s no wonder. Surprisingly, it doesn’t feel like a cheap lens, even though it costs just €68. There’s no cap, something I hear the kids really appreciate these days.
This should be fun to shoot with.

How does it compare to the Sony 20/2.8? Many reviews on BH complain about QC and centering, infinity focus problem, bluish vignette etc. I have the Sony 20mm but I can’t find any online comparison

To my eye, the 20mm is much better. I’ll grab some photos with both of them in the next days and write about the differences. Thanks!
