Pergear 14mm F2.8 II is an Affordable Ultrawide Angle Lens

Pergear has unveiled its latest addition to the lineup: the 14mm F2.8 II full-frame ultrawide angle lens, catering to Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-mount mirrorless cameras. For APS-C models, this lens delivers an equivalent focal length of 21mm.

This ultrawide angle lens shines with its array of features, including 10 aperture blades and a complex optical configuration of 13 elements distributed across 9 groups. Among these elements, 2 aspherical elements and 5 ultra-high refractive index glasses take center stage, skillfully mitigating distortion and spherical aberration, ultimately yielding sharper and true-to-life results. Additionally, 3 ultra-low dispersion elements work their magic to minimize color fringing and chromatic aberration, ensuring impeccable clarity and color precision.

With an expansive 114° viewing angle and minimal distortion, this lens proves its mettle in landscape and architectural photography, as attested by the manufacturer. The 14mm F2.8 II is engineered to perform admirably in diverse lighting conditions while affording you control over the depth of field to accentuate your subject.

The lens boasts a manual focus design and offers a commendably short minimum focusing distance of 22cm, making it ideal for close-up photography. The aperture ring, with crisp f-stop clicks ranging from f/2.8 to f/22, enhances your creative control.
