7Artisans sent the 9mm f5.6 to us for review in 2023. I’ve truly never felt so incredibly challenged by a lens before. Wide-angle lenses are typically very fun, but something about this lens just seemed weird. It wasn’t until I started to look at the photos of Josef Koudelka more that it really hit me. Wide-angle lenses are all pretty much the same these days. And by all means, the 7Artisans 9mm f5.6 feels like a clinical lens that was given a haze filter inside. But when you use a super-power that L-series cameras have, it becomes something really wonderful.
