Overview

The Fujian CCTV 50mm f/1.4 lens is an ultra-cheap, all-metal manual lens that offers impressive image rendition and bokeh for its price, though technical image quality is not its strength. Build quality is robust but initial aperture and focus rings are very stiff, improving with use. The 6-bladed diaphragm creates irregular bokeh shapes when stopped down, and the stepless aperture lacks clicks. It suits photographers willing to work with manual controls and quirks for creative results on mirrorless systems like Micro 4/3 or Nikon 1.
