Read our notes on general
The 7Artisans 14mm f/2.8 is an impressive and compelling offering that delivers on its promise of high optical quality in a durable, all-metal body at an affordable price point. Reviewers have noted that it delivers on its promise of "near-zero distortion", a crucial selling point for architectural and landscape photography where straight lines are paramount. However, the lens is prone to flaring in images when the sun is in the field of view, which is a notable limitation for bright daylight shooting.
