| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An inexpensive manual macro lens for almost all possible mirrorless mounts. The model is available in versions for Sony E, Canon EF-M, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, Micro 4/3 and even Leica SL systems. Focus is carried out purely manually, as well as setting the aperture value. The lens is focused from a minimum distance of 26 cm, providing a magnification ratio of 1:1. It is also designed to work in conjunction with 3:1 and 2:1 rings.
An interesting design feature of the 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 MACRO is a special 5 cm nozzle on the “nose”, which allows shooting under the water surface. Structurally, the macro lens is made in a metal case according to the scheme of 8 elements in 7 groups. The number of blades of its diaphragm is ten. The lens dimensions are 66x100 mm, weight — 550 g. Light filters for the model will need to be bought in a diameter of 39 mm — this is the thread for them that is provided near the front lens of the lens.

Model overview based on user reviews
The 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens is a budget-friendly option that offers decent picture quality, especially for close-up and macro photography. It features a metal body and is suitable for initial creative experiments. However, users have noted several drawbacks, including the lack of autofocus and image stabilization, which can make handling challenging. The focus and aperture rings are criticized for their design, as the aperture ring lacks clicks, making it inconvenient for photographers. Additionally, the lens's construction causes the focal length to change from 60mm to about 90mm when focusing closely, and the aperture decreases by 1.5-2 stops at the closest distance. Without stabilization, macro shots can be shaky, and the lens requires ample lighting for optimal performance. Despite these issues, it remains a viable choice for those on a budget, particularly for crop sensor cameras.
Pros
Cons
everything is fine, it just infuriates the focus rings and aperture instead of focusing, you constantly touch the aperture. Aperture has no clicks Good for its price, a decent option for close-up shots and macro is not bad either. I like the picture quality. If you add macro rings or a macro lens, it will be even larger but you'll need plenty of light. Focus and aperture rings crop lens because of the small size, the camera gets pulled forward  Viktor Demyanenko (Akiraigo): use 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 Macro few months |
I bought it for work purposes, not having a budget for normal glass at that time. After all, macro lenses for Fuji are very expensive. You can photograph the head of a beetle, a drop of water, a coin, but nothing more. Metal body. Suitable for the first creative experiments but no more. Everything. From rough metal processing to image quality. Step by step. The knurling on the focus ring has sharp edges, making your fingers feel like they stick and wear out on this ring, and you'll have to turn it a lot (I taped it with masking tape...). The aperture ring has no clicks, which is good for cinema, but you're unlikely to shoot video with it. Why? I'll explain later. As for photographers, the lack of clicks is very inconvenient, the aperture value constantly changes (I taped it with masking tape...). But these are trifles... An aperture larger than 10 is not functional, and for a macro lens, this is a catastrophe. At f/11, the image is already very blurry, and at smaller values, the depth of field in macro mode is only a few millimeters. Due to the construction, with a fully moving lens unit, the focal length changes from 60 (focus at infinity) indicated on the lens to about 90 (at the closest focus). Additionally, the aperture decreases by 1.5-2 stops when focusing at the closest distance. Shooting video with changing aperture is uncomfortable. Filming with sensor stabilization is not possible due to the changing focal length when focusing. Without any stabilization, the shake in macro is just insane; without a tripod with a good video head, panoramas are out of the question. use 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 Macro few months |
