Mirrorless mounts have allowed the creation of increasingly lens designs, and as such, we have seen more and more rectilinear full frame lenses that push to wider and wider focal lengths, including single-digit focal lengths. One such example is the 7artisans Photoelectric 9mm f/5.6, which offers people like landscape and architectural photographers a unique field of viewer that inspires creativity. Can it offer the performance and image quality to match? This great video review takes a look at what you can expect.
Coming to you from Matt Irwin Photography, this excellent video review takes a look at the new 7artisans Photoelectric 9mm f/5.6 lens for Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, and Leica L full frame mirrorless cameras. At $479, the 9mm f/5.6 is rather affordable for such an unusual creative tool, making it intriguing for many photographers. Its features include:
- Low distortion design
- 7.9-inch minimum focusing distance
- De-clicked aperture ring for video work
- Extra-low dispersion, aspherical, and high refractive index elements for reduced aberrations and increased sharpness
- Five-blade aperture for 10-point sunstars
- Built-in lens hood
No doubt, this is not the sort of lens you will use for a ton of photos, but for the right situations, it looks like a very fun creative tool. Check out the video above for Irwin's full thoughts.
My tiny Lauwa 9mm F2.8 lens is probably my second most-used lens. Cannot see any advantage of this lens over the Lauwa.
I believe it's full frame, not APS-C.
Sorry, I double posted.
