Fuji Showcase 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 XF Mount

[Burkey]

Acknowledging the amount of snow we have here in northern Vermont, I have absolutely no idea where the leaves came from. However, I thought the texture of last night's snow fall and the bit of color in the leaves on our front porch made for a possible image. 7a 25mm f1.8, X-E2, from an RAF file processed in Lightroom "Classic".

It’s a 10mm. The brand is Viltrox, which I have found to be quite well made for the price.

Boring evening. Nothing on telly and lashing down with rain outside. So time to fire up the Fuji in the kitchen!!

The daffodils are bursting out all over the place...very early this year. Here's one from my back garden.

Even though snow is coming in the morning that shot helps remind me Spring will be here soon.

I just picked up the 7a 35mm f1.2 for Fuji and sadly I'm afraid it's headed back to B&H. The 35mm renders a nice image but is soft from f2.8 to f1.2.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to try another copy just stick the 25mm and the 55mm.

I've asked on the main forum but I thought it might be worth the trouble of asking here: has anyone used the 25/1.8 7artisans, Meike, or anny of the other inexpensive Chinese lenses for infrared? I'm trying to determine whether it has a hotspot at any aperture.
