The 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens is very compact and affordable, but its image quality is disappointing. The lens suffers from softness, color fringing, and field curvature issues. It also has notable distortion and vignetting. The lens does, however, produce a smooth bokeh and is fun to use, but the overall image quality is severely lacking.

The 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens is very compact and lightweight, making it convenient to carry around. Despite being affordable, its image quality is severely disappointing. At its widest aperture, the lens suffers from softness, low contrast, and purple fringing. The field curvature and chromatic aberration are some of the worst cases seen, making it a challenge to work around these issues.

The 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens is very compact and lightweight, making it convenient to carry around. Despite being affordable, its image quality is severely disappointing. At its widest aperture, the lens suffers from softness, low contrast, and purple fringing. The field curvature and chromatic aberration are some of the worst cases seen, making it a challenge to work around these issues. As the aperture is stopped down, the corner softness and distortion persist at different aperture settings, affecting overall image quality. The lens also exhibits notable vignetting. The lens, however, produces a smooth bokeh and can yield some creative and artistic images, making it somewhat enjoyable to use. Overall, the 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens is fun and nifty due to its compact size and impressive maximum aperture, but it is guilty of committing multiple crimes against image quality. The lens is suitable for those interested in casual and artistic photography, but for those seeking high-quality and sharp images, it is advisable to look elsewhere.
