7Artisans' updated fast wide prime for APS-C — Mark III of the popular 52.5mm equiv f/1.4.
The 7Artisans 35mm f/1.4 III is the third generation of 7Artisans' popular fast prime for APS-C mirrorless. Each generation improved optics and build. At 52.5mm equivalent with f/1.4, it targets creative portrait and low-light shooting.
Optically improved over earlier versions — sharper from f/2 with reduced aberrations. The f/1.4 provides dramatic shallow DOF. Manual focus with smooth ring. The Mark III refined coatings and optical formula. No electronic contacts on most versions.
Available for Fujifilm X, Sony E, MFT, Nikon Z, and Canon RF. Approximately 200g. Metal construction. 43mm or 46mm filter thread depending on version. APS-C coverage. Manual everything.
Available used very cheaply. The Mark III is the best version — improved optics over I and II. The Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 has AF for similar money. For manual-focus enthusiasts wanting f/1.4 at budget price.
