![]() | 7Artisans 9mm f/5.6 Fullframe Pros: Focal length, price, optical performance (for the focal length), robustness Cons: Completely (but quite) manual Opinion: The judgment on this type of lens usually oscillates between the very bad and the so-so. In my opinion, if you know what you are buying, you will not be disappointed at all. It's a lens one step away from the fisheye (without being one) with *typical* distortion for this type of extreme lens. If used levelly it gives a very good yield all in all. It is not very bright (but it is written) and is totally manual (ditto); it has no electrical contacts and therefore does not transmit any information to the machine. Ergo, the focus is manual. All these features are known *before* purchase. With a wise use of hyperfocal (if you don't know what it is...) and a great attention to perspective lines (in order to exploit in a creative or at least controlled sense the 'extreme' effects that are obtained), etc. it is a very fun and very effective lens that is worth the money it costs. Accompanied by an expert use of software such as Lightroom, Photoshop or equivalent (for which there is still no correction profile, as far as I know, - which would have limited usefulness anyway) it becomes a useful extension of one's kit (I use it with Nikon Z8). Have fun! sent on September 24, 2025 |
