The short version of my review: I’m having a ball with this thing! The size, light weight and affordability evoked the order. But using it for a while, now, has me loving it. Mounted to my smaller Fuji, an X-T30, it adds practically no weight and the whole package slides in and out of my vest or jacket pocket quickly and easily. Shooting with it draws minimal attention, as it certainly doesn’t look like a pro rig. Focusing manually is fast, and even faster if I just estimate the distance and use a zone focusing method. It’s pretty much back to point-and-shoot days!
Is this as sharp as my Fuji lenses? Well, no. But the results I’m getting are so close that no one viewing my photos has seemed to notice. I am, of course, talking photos that I’m posting online, not blowing up as large prints. Minimum focus distance isn’t all that bad at 0.3M. And, hey… there’s no lens cap to fiddle with. Actually, I would like to have a rubber cap, or something, though, just to keep the little lens protected. It could even be as simple as the kind of rubber cap that is sometimes over each end of binoculars. No deal breaker, though.
The 7artisans 18mm pancake lens is proving to be great fun to use and a real conversation starter with other photographers. This isn’t a lens for everyone, but it is a fun lens for some of us. I like to challenge myself to short photo walks for which I limit myself to one lens and, maybe, B&W, or square format, etc. This has been a great lens for that.
For how fun this lens it and how well it performs for the very affordable price, I give it 5 stars.

There are some caveats for having a small, no moving parts, constant aperture lens:
On the X-T4 the IBIS doesn't like it at all. It jerks around a lot. It's mostly fine and usable after you become aware of it's kinda glitchy behavior. If you turn of IBIS it behaves nicely. This is probably true on the X-H1 or X-S10 too. And this is the biggest problem I have with the lens. On a body without IBIS, say my X-T30. It behaves remarkably well.
It has a roughly 1 meter or 3 foot close focusing, things are starting to get into focus at that range. And when I say starting, it takes a bit of distance to really get things in focus. I haven't done any exhaustive testing, but 6 meters or 20 feet seems to be the starting area for a sweet spot that extends out for a while. But infinity isn't in sharp focus either.
The focus is soft regardless of how steady your hands are. And will never perform well in low light. But that's not the point of this kind of lens. Outdoors in the daylight on the street it behaves very well. Set the camera to aperture priority, and it works great by itself. But I find it blurs a lot at lower shutter speeds, so it doesn't hurt to pay attention to shutter and ISO if you want a truly sharper image.
That's it. It's a simple lens with no controls. It takes ok photo's, and at this price it's hard to beat. It's intriguing to me though, and I wouldn't mind a slightly higher quality version of this lens. Something sharper at closer ranges or something sharper at the infinity end. This works great as an across the street snapshot when walking around lens. But so does most of the fuji F2's or F1.4's. Even the 16mm F2.8 is small enough to fit in a pocket and provides roughly the same performance. If you set the camera to manual focus mode and prefocus for a walk around lens... I don't know. Your mileage may vary.
TL;DR It's a very good lens cap that also takes better than ok photos.
You can put it on infinite focus so you can just point and shoot as much as you want, but make sure you shoot in daylight because this lens is a F/6.3 meaning you need light too shoot.
If you don’t care about the flaws and wants those flaws I think it’s worth it, but if you have an old 1 time use film camera take the lens and just make your own body cap lens :)
