Once upon a time, in the little town of Lensville, old Grandpa Jenkins would sit on his porch, rocking back and forth on his rickety wooden chair, sipping ice-cold lemonade. His faithful dog, Bessie, lay by his side, her golden fur shimmering in the sunlight. Her tail wagged gently as she enjoyed the lazy afternoon sun. Now, Grandpa Jenkins was known to be a man of many tales, and on this particular day, he began to recount the story of the 7Artisans 15mm F4 lens, a tale that blurred the lines between reality and fantasy, and one that could only be understood by those who had tasted the lemonade he was sipping. "Y'see, my boy," he began, as he adjusted his straw hat and scratched his white beard, "this here lens, this 7Artisans 15mm F4, is somethin' special. The world don't make lenses like this no more. It's budget-friendly, built to last, and made for Full Frame Cameras. I'll tell ya, this lens has got magic in it." He glanced down at Bessie, who raised her head and perked her ears, as if she too wanted to hear the secrets of the lens. "Now, let me explain a little 'bout this lens," he continued. "It comes in various mounts, like Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony FE, and more. You can even find it on the Amazon, if you look hard enough." He chuckled to himself, as if imagining the wilds of the Amazon and the lens hiding among the flora and fauna. "But that ain't what makes this lens magical, no sir," he said, pausing to take a sip of his lemonade. "You see, it's like the eyes of a jumping spider, those little critters with telescopic eyes that can see craters on the moon." The breeze carried the sweet scent of honeysuckle and the faint notes of psychedelic melodies. The world around them seemed to shift, as if the boundaries of reality were expanding and contracting like the aperture of a camera lens. "Jumping spiders, y'see, have incredible vision. Eight eyes in total, but it's them two big ones in the front that do the heavy liftin'. They can focus on objects far away and close up, just like this 7Artisans 15mm F4 lens." Grandpa Jenkins leaned back in his rocking chair, the sun casting a warm glow on his wrinkled face. Bessie snuggled closer, her eyes drifting closed as the sounds of Lensville enveloped them. "Now, every lens has its drawbacks, but that's what makes this story profound," he mused. "Sometimes, life ain't perfect, and neither is this lens. It might have some vignetting, a little distortion, but it's all part of the charm." As the sun dipped lower in the sky, painting the horizon with hues of gold and pink, Grandpa Jenkins finished his tale. "In the end, my boy, this 7Artisans 15mm F4 lens is a metaphor for life. It teaches us to embrace our imperfections and see the beauty in all things, even the smallest details." He took a final sip of his lemonade and looked out over the rolling hills of Lensville. "It's a lesson I'll never forget," he said softly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, as Bessie nuzzled his hand and the world around them seemed to shimmer with the magic of the 7Artisans lens.

This brings back memories of shooting in the 70s and 80s. It was fun and you, the photographer, was the boss. BTW, nice haircut, first thing I noticed.

Nice haircut Mark!

Great job from you and Panasonic Autofocus, focus change from you to subject is quite nice!

Interesting lens. Handsome haircut.

Oooh, another budget lens review.. 😍 by the way, nice haircut

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I've gotten far more familiar with manual focus lenses wince starting film school, and as much as I love all metal construction, here in the desert it has a tendency to get too hot to hold for me.

What’s the best wide vlogging lens for Sony zv e 10 under 600

It’s crazy that we are getting lenses of this quality, at this price point. A few years ago, a lens this wide, with this image quality, would have been thousands of dollars.

Cool haircut you got now

Great review. Thank You.

Nice hair cut sir. Like an army man 👍

Can you do a a7iv video settings video 😊

wow new look new hairstyle you look coooool

Can you take some photos with the zve10 and this lens... and the new hair cut 💇‍♂️

When did you go and join the Marines?

Ohhh nice haircut Mark!!!

How’s that long haired dude with the apple juice buzz? He didn’t go all corporate by any chance did he? 😜

Who is this baby face? Oh oh ! It's Mark shaved !

Mark, little Dougie can only record internally: XAVC S 4:2:0 8-Bit ? or do you record externally? Do you have issues using FX-30, presumably 4.2.2 10-Bit with Dougie? Or does it color grade/match out of camera so that it isn't noticeable? I am probably overthinking this, aye? He seems to do a really good job for you, so I was thinking of purchasing it as my overhead camera/b roll. Not sure how long until they release a second version, thinking it will inherit the additions on the zv-e1, but given it was released in 2021, Dougie's baby brother may not be born until 2024. I've ordered the zv-e1, hopefully I am on the early delivery list for B&H (May 4th baby!) By the way, I just got the 7Artisans 35 mmT1.05, it's silky smooth.

Can't wait to watch your comments on the S5MkII

WOW! Who's the guy in the video? TOM CRUISE? 😮

This one could be great on the Panasonic S5ii for the price. Are the shots in the video from a Sony or the Panasonic? Cheers and thanks for another great video.
