Q: 1. Is this a good lens for product photography? Any tips on usage?

A: For product photography this can be a great choice.

Q: 2. Hello there, I own a Nikon Z 6 and this lens looks like a nice for a macro on a budget setup. The question i have is how will it behave on a full frame body since it's designed for DX cropped sensors. Any sample images?

A: On the Z6, you can choose FX (default) or DX image area. If you use this lens with the FX image area, you will have vignetting (dark shadows in each corner) in each image; if you choose DX image area, the images will look normal.

Q: 3. Has anyone used this for scanning photo negatives?

A: We cannot test the lens for digitizing film but using an actual film scanner such as the Epson V600 would be much higher quality than using your camera. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3dniCnW The reasons why a scanner would be better than a digital camera are: A scanner has a much higher resolution. A scanner has dust and scratch removal software. A scanner can also scan negatives and reverse the colors back to a positive. A digital camera only shoots one color per pixel and guesses the 2 missing colors. In other words, one pixel is shot as red and the camera estimates how much blue and green are in that same pixel. The next pixel is shot as blue and the camera estimates the red and green. A scanner actually scans the image 3 times with a tri-color filter so it is scanning each pixel as red, green and blue as opposed to guessing the missing colors as a digital camera does. Basically a scanner will be more color accurate, better tonal range and it will give you better highlight and shadow details.

A: To use this lens on the EOS-R you will need to set the camera to a cropped sensor mode.

Q: 7. I thought this was an APS lens? Why is it advertised for full frame Canon RF? Is this a mistake as it is not even on the 7artisans website

Q: 9. Any advise on how to mount 7artisans 60 f/2.8 on Sony a6600?There is no familiar click...

A: Does the lens engage fully with the mount, meaning, do you have to push the lens release button to remove the lens? Sometimes there is a very slight click that is difficult to hear, over time it may seat better and the click will be more apparent. If this is not the case, exchange the lens for another.
