I’ve used this lens for around 2 weeks and it’s become a favorite of mine. Manual focusing is a tricky skill but it’s gotten easier over time. I have been using this alongside the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and the Brightin Star lens is sharper and faster (they do get similar results the more you stop them down). The only time I would opt for the Sigma instead is if I need autofocus (I do need to update the firmware as it’s a little unreliable on my R7 right now).
I’ve used several manual lenses on my Canon R7 since there aren’t many options for lenses especially 3rd party so I definitely recommend this one as it has phenomenal optics and you won’t fire a faster lens than this. It’s tricky to nail focus at .95 but when you do, it’s very sharp.
It came recommended to me by some other YouTubers who raved about it and they were t wrong.
It’s perfect for street photography since it’s small. As opposed to most of my lenses, it adapts natively to my Canon since it comes in an RF mount. That really lessens the footprint. It is a little heavy since it’s made of all metal but not having an adapter more than balances things out.
If you’ve never tried a manual lens before but are in the market for a fast, all around solid lens, I’d say get this one over spending over twice as much for the Canon 35mm 1.8. Autofocus is always great but if you don’t shoot moving subjects, I think you’ll find this lens and other manual focus lenses lead to more thoughtful photography.

Update: Having watched a few reviews of this lens on YouTube where no one mentioned about the excessive play on the aperture ring, I decided to try another copy of this lens. And I now have a copy that is equally good optically, and mechanically perfect as well. I should take one star off for the quality control issue on the aperture ring but the optical quality of this lens is so good and the price is so low. I'd feel like a jerk if I did that. This company deserves a five star rating!
