This new addition reinforces 7Artisans\u2019 focus on compact, affordable, and creative glass for photographers and videographers seeking expansive field of view without heavy or bulky gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Specifications &amp; Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Focal length &amp; coverage<\/strong>: 10 mm on APS-C, delivering a <strong>105.3\u00b0 field of view<\/strong> \u2014 roughly equivalent to ~15 mm full-frame coverage. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aperture<\/strong>: Wide <strong>f\/2.8 maximum<\/strong>, giving good flexibility for low-light situations and creative depth-of-field effects indoors, at night, or in astro-scapes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optical construction<\/strong>: The lens uses <strong>11 elements in 10 groups<\/strong>, including two aspherical elements and several extra-low dispersion \/ high-refractive elements to help minimize aberrations and deliver sharper images \u2014 claimed to be compatible even with high-resolution cameras.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Focus &amp; handling<\/strong>: Autofocus driven by a fast, silent motor; a dedicated <strong>AF\/MF switch<\/strong> allows quick transitions between autofocus and manual focus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build &amp; form factor<\/strong>: All-metal lens barrel, with a <strong>dust- and splash-resistant mount (rubber gasket)<\/strong>. Despite its metal build, the lens remains <strong>relatively compact and travel-friendly<\/strong> \u2014 the E-mount version weighs about <strong>232 g<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimum focusing distance<\/strong>: ~<strong>0.3 m (30 cm)<\/strong> \u2014 useful for shooting interiors, close foregrounds with wide context, or creative close-up wide-angle compositions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filter thread<\/strong>: Accepts <strong>62 mm filters<\/strong>, which allows the use of polarizers, neutral density filters, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Ideal Uses &amp; Creative Potential<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AF 10mm f\/2.8 is especially well-suited for genres and projects where a dramatic, ultra-wide field of view is desirable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Landscapes &amp; cityscapes<\/strong> \u2014 capture sweeping vistas, wide horizons or dramatic skyline compositions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Architecture &amp; interiors<\/strong> \u2014 the rectilinear design helps maintain straight lines, ideal for buildings, rooms, real-estate photos, or urban interiors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel &amp; street photography<\/strong> \u2014 compact size and wide coverage make it great for travel diary shots or immersive street scenes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Astrophotography &amp; night sky<\/strong> \u2014 the wide aperture and expansive view help gather more light and frame more sky, stars, or city night scenes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Video &amp; creative vlogging<\/strong> \u2014 silent autofocus, wide coverage, and metal build make it a useful tool for video creators needing versatility and portability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes &amp; What to Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that this is <strong>not a fisheye lens<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s designed to be a rectilinear ultra-wide lens. That means straight lines stay straight, avoiding the curvature typical of fisheye optics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, 7Artisans offers this new lens across multiple mirrorless mounts (Nikon Z, Sony E, Fujifilm X), giving flexibility for shooters who use different systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e126357d924&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e126357d924\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-2.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e126357dc52&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e126357dc52\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/nikondb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7Artisans-10mm-f_2.8-AF.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 29 September 2025, 7Artisans officially unveiled a brand-new ultra-wide-angle autofocus lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras, including mount versions for Nikon Z, Sony E and Fujifilm X systems.
