7Artisans 14mm f/2.8 14mm
The 14mm f/2.8 lens captures an ultra-wide 116° field of view with a fast aperture, using 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements to control distortion effectively. A removable threaded hood accepts 77mm filters, a rare feature for such wide glass, while the 10-blade diaphragm produces sharp 10-point starbursts. Architectural and landscape photographers on full-frame L-mount systems who prioritize manual focus precision and expansive framing will find it most capable.
