Introducing the New and Improved 7Artisans 12mm f2.8 Mark II Lens

The 7Artisans 12mm f2.8 II is a highly anticipated addition to the 7Artisans lens lineup. As an all-manual lens, it is perfect for landscape, architectural, and astrophotography enthusiasts.

7Artisans 12mm f2.8 Mark II is compatible with Canon RF, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, and Sony E mount cameras. It is an upgrade from a previous version that was originally announced back in 2017.

7Artisans 12mm f2.8 II also boasts a fast maximum aperture of f2.8. This allows photographers to capture images with shallow depth of field and create beautiful bokeh in their images. It is also helpful for low-light situations, as it allows more light to reach the camera’s sensor and allows for faster shutter speeds.

Its manual focus design is complemented by both depths of field and distance scales for utilizing pre-focusing and zone-focusing techniques. Additionally, the lens permits working with subjects as close as 7.9″ away.
