7Artisans AF 24mm f/1.8

41.7 Travel Score
24mmf/16L-Mount
Why we recommend this

The 14-element optical design with 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements delivers sharp full-frame images, while the f/1.8 aperture and 11-blade diaphragm create smooth bokeh for subject separation. Its quiet STM motor supports face and eye detection autofocus, making it a lightweight 424g option for L-Mount systems without weather sealing. This lens is best for street and environmental portrait photographers who prioritize a fast, wide-angle prime with strong close-up rendering.
