7Artisans has officially launched its 10mm f/3.5 APS-C ultra wide-angle lens, available for Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Micro Four Thirds mounts. It offers a 108° field of view while keeping lines straight thanks to its non-fisheye optical design. That means verticals and horizontals (like walls, doors, or windows) stay accurate in-camera without needing to fix distortion later. Inside, the lens has 9 elements in 7 groups, with a close focusing distance of 0.2 meters, which helps with dramatic wide-angle shots that play with depth and scale.
The aperture is fully manual, clicked from f/3.5 to f/22, and built with five blades that produce 10-point sunstars when stopped down. While it’s sharpest at smaller apertures like f/8 or f/11, the wide-open setting still allows for creative low-light shooting. The rectilinear rendering makes it a solid choice for architecture, tight interiors, or street photography where straight lines matter. There’s no autofocus or electronic contacts, so you’ll be working full manual, and camera bodies won’t record EXIF data for the lens.
Physically, it’s compact and lightweight, just 125.5g on the E-mount version and measures 59mm wide and 34mm long. The all-metal housing gives it a solid, retro feel, and it takes 37mm screw-in filters on the front. Pricing sits at $99.
