I don't think this lens are for beginners. I am a photographer for more than 3 decades now. At 60 years old, II discovered that I enjoyed this lens so much more than the kit lens on my Canon M50.

Yeah its a little harder to learn nailing perfect focus all the time, but in a generation where everything is automatic and effortless, its great to go back to fundamentals like manual focus and composition and "zooming with your feet"

i just got into photography, got a canon t3i with kit lens that only works on manual focus. Hitting that sharp image is sometimes hard with manual focus since you cant really tell that much in viewfinder or even live preview mode
@RJBaculo2 ай бұрын
Yeah its tricky at the start. Takes a lot of practice and getting a feel for it. Stepping the aperture down to f2.2 or 2.8 can greater chances of being in focus. Also using an external monitor with focus peaking features can also aid you.

I had to send mine back to Amazon because my Sony NEX-5 would not recognize it. Since I am a beginner I don't know if it is because it was not intended for my camera or the lens I got was defective.
@RJBaculo3 ай бұрын
It should work with the NEX-5, especially since its just a manual lens (no electronics). You might have to enable "Release w/o Lens" in your camera settings. Otherwise, it is quite possible your unit was defective.

Is there any difference with and without the lens cap for this lens?
@RJBaculo Жыл бұрын
Do you mean the metal lens hood? It might reduce flaring a little when light comes in a certain angle but for me its mostly protection for the front glass and also adds that vintage lens aesthetic.

I haven't tried the Meike one yet but from what I hear the Meike 25mm has a better build and more accurate distance scale, but its noticeably less sharp.

would this lens be good for astrophotography?
@RJBaculo3 жыл бұрын
Generally, this lens is good for portraits because of the sharp center and not-so-sharp edges. I imagine a night sky photo would require sharpness all around. Although, the 25mm is a medium-wide focal length that might make it great for astrophotography. And you definitely don't need auto-focus either. ;)
