TL:DR (Too Long - Didn’t Read ) This lens is a fantastic small, light, quick-to-focus lens with great image quality and a really nice depth of field when shot at F1.4 - If I had to photograph a full wedding day on only one lens then this would be it by a damn mile.

7artisans make cheap manual focus lenses that are ideal if you need something to fill a gap in your lens range, need an infrequently used focal length, or just want to try out something different without breaking the bank.
I got this lens to cover a job I had shooting some interior photos, while not all of the shoot was done this wide it was good for those tight spaces where the 16mm just wouldn’t have cut it and I didn’t want to fork out for the Fuji 10-24mm (my gear already covers the top end of this range) and I’m not a fan of renting lenses.

I’ve had this lens pretty much since it came out after waiting what seems like an age, in fact back when I still had my 60mm lens the yet to be released 56mm was rumoured to only be an F1.4 lens and the release date kept getting pushed back. Eventually I upgraded from the 60mm and I wrote about that a long time ago in an older blog…
Read MoreThis is a short post, mainly for fellow photographers about how I take my dance floor photos. It’s a commonly used technique know as dragging the shutter and I’ll go over how I do it and show some results and hopefully show you how you can master dragging the shutter for your wedding photography.
Read MoreSo the time came for an upgrade this year, it wasn't planned, as I was happy with the performance of the XE2 but I was looking to make some changes to my gear setup and what the future holds for my work, so on to the scene came the XT2. Well two XT2's to be exact.
