Alongside its new 75mm f/1.4 portrait prime lens, 7Artisans announced a full-frame 14mm f/2.8 ultra-wide prime.

The new 14mm f/2.8 is available for the same mounts as the 75mm f/1.4 — E, L, RF, and Z — and like the 75mm f/1.4, the 14mm f/2.8 is a fully manual lens. Its metal barrel is compact, lightweight, and straightforward. The lens includes a large focus ring, depth of field markings, and a de-clickable aperture control ring. The aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/22.

It also ships with an extra hood that can accept 77mm filters, as shown here.

The lens is 87 millimeters (3.4 inches) long and weighs 504 grams (17.8 ounces). The lens is 79 millimeters (3.1 inches) across and accepts 77mm screw-in filters. Many ultra-wide-angle lenses, especially ones with brighter apertures than f/2.8, either don’t accept filters or use huge, expensive ones. It is worth noting that the 14mm f/2.8 appears to accept 77mm filters via a short extra lens hood, rather than accepting them directly to the end of the lens itself. This is not an uncommon solution with wide-angle lenses, as Nikon’s fantastic Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S zoom lens shows.

The 7Artisans 14mm f/2.8 prime features 13 elements across nine groups. Of these elements, there are two aspherical elements, three pieces of ED glass, and five high-index elements. The lens sports a 10-bladed aperture diaphragm, which 7Artisans promises delivers excellent sunstars, but time will tell. The company also promises excellent sharpness across the entire full-frame image area, even when shooting at f/2.8, and “near-zero distortion.”

The company says its new lens is well-suited for landscape, architecture, dramatic environmental portraits, and night sky photography. When working with a 14mm lens like this, photographers and videographers will be tasked with leaning heavily into the ultra-wide field of view. 7Artisans says “even the tiniest space can be magnified threefold,” and that shooting up close to accentuate a foreground element can “achieve dramatic perspective tension.”

Pricing and Availability

The 7Artisans 14mm f/2.8 full-frame wide-angle prime lens is available now for $299. The lens is shipping now in Sony E, L-Mount, Canon RF, and Nikon Z.
