Budget-friendly 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 Wide-Angle Prime Lens is priced so low you'd be irrational not to acquire it.
The photography world has a new affordable addition with the release of the 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 ultra-wide prime lens. This compact and lightweight lens is designed for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, offering an ultra-wide-angle perspective without fisheye distortion.
Adam Waring, the Guides Editor of Digital Camera World and a leading expert in all things Nikon-related, has shared his insights on this latest offering. The lens, available in Nikon Z, Sony E, Fujifilm X, Panasonic/Olympus M43 mounts, boasts a 9-element, 7-group optical structure that maintains rectilinear projection, minimizing barrel distortion and preserving straight lines.
With a focal length of 10mm, the lens provides an effective focal length of approximately 15mm on APS-C sensors and 20mm on MFT cameras. This makes it suitable for dramatic wide-angle shots, perfect for landscape, street, architectural, and wide-angle portrait photography. The lens's 108-degree angle of view offers a broad field of view, ideal for capturing dynamic shots of close-up subjects within expansive scenes.
The lens features a maximum aperture of f/3.5, with a variable (clicked) aperture range extending to f/22, allowing for versatile depth of field control and exposure settings. The lens focuses between 0.2m and infinity, enabling close-up ultra-wide compositions.
The 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens comes with a durable aluminum alloy body, featuring a retro design. It is compact and lightweight, measuring approximately 59 x 34mm and weighing about 125.5 grams. The lens also includes a 46mm filter thread, allowing for the use of filters for creative effects.
Priced at around US$99, including free worldwide shipping, this lens is a budget-friendly option for enthusiasts seeking an ultra-wide angle manual lens with decent optical quality. Adam Waring, who trades tips and techniques on shooting landscapes, wildlife, and almost any genre of photography, has praised the lens for its sturdy construction and affordable price point.
