Bought a cheap lens for the hell of it and gave it a go.

I purchased a cheap lens out of curiosity, an Artisan 7 10mm 3.5 Fuji X fit. Stopped it down to f22 and set the focus on infinity, and just took some images. No messing about. This little, unassuming lens has melted my heart. Here are some examples just taken in the last couple of days. Played around a little, at night. Upped the Iso and reduced the aperture to 11, but not much else.

Nice!

Proving once again it's the eye of the photographer, not the lens that makes the photo. Very nice.

That's very kind. But that lens is petty fab!

I will add some portraits once I get their permission.

I am equally pleased with the 7Artisan 12mm F2.8 lens. All metal, built like a tank, very smooth focus and app rings and inexpensive.
