7Artisans launches 14mm f/2.8 and 75mm f/1.4 lenses

Chinese lens manufacturer 7Artisans has released two new manual-focus lenses for full-frame mirrorless systems: a 14mm f/2.8 ultra-wide-angle and a 75mm f/1.4 short telephoto.

Both lenses are available in Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-mount versions.

The 14mm f/2.8 is designed for wide-angle photography applications such as landscapes, architecture, and astrophotography.

It features a complex optical design that includes 13 elements in 9 groups, incorporating aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements to help control distortion and chromatic aberration.

The lens has a 10-blade aperture and a wide field of view of approximately 114 degrees.

Although fully manual, it includes a de-clicked aperture ring and depth-of-field markings.

At 504 grams, the lens is relatively compact for its class and supports 77mm front filters through a detachable hood.

The retail price is listed at $299 USD ($460 AUD)

The 75mm f/1.4 targets portrait photographers looking for a fast, short telephoto option. It uses a simpler 6-element, 6-group optical layout with three high-refractive-index elements and a 13-blade diaphragm aimed at producing smooth background blur. The minimum focusing distance is 0.8 meters.

This lens, like the 14mm, is fully manual and features a metal build. Weighing 408 grams, it has a 62mm front filter thread and is priced at $189 USD ($292 AUD).

Bot lenses are available now through 7Artisans’ official store and authorised dealers.
