7 Artisans 12mm F2.8 Mark ? Ultra Wide Angle APS-C Manual Focus Prime Lens Compatible for Canon EOS-M Mount Mirrorless Cameras M1 M2 M3 Black

As an avid user of Nikkor lenses, I typically stick to their offerings. However, I noticed that Nikon has yet to release a Z-mount prime lens in this particular focal length. Despite being a manual focus lens, this aspect doesn't bother me personally. What impressed me about this lens is its excellent construction and sturdy build, complemented by an appealing design. Not only is it incredibly sharp, but it's also surprisingly lightweight. Considering the reasonable price point, I decided to take a leap of faith, and I'm pleased to say that it paid off.

7artisans is a brand known for producing affordable manual focus lenses that can serve as a great option for filling gaps in your lens collection, exploring less commonly used focal lengths, or simply trying out something new without spending a fortune.I acquired this lens to cover an interior photography assignment. While not every shot required such a wide perspective, it proved to be invaluable in capturing those tight spaces where a 16mm lens wouldn't have been sufficient. Instead of investing in a more expensive alternative, I chose this budget-friendly option, as I prefer to own my lenses rather than renting them.The assignment more than justified the cost of the lens, so after an enjoyable afternoon of shooting, I gladly added it to my camera bag.
