The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the 7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L and the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. 7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L is the longer of the two lenses at 95mm. The Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D with a length of 53mm, is 42mm shorter. Besides being longer, the 7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L also has a larger diameter of 75mm compared to the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D's 60mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D weighs 215g, 64% (387g) lighter than the 7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L's weight of 602g.
Lens Mounts
The 7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L has the Leica L lens mount whereas the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D has the Fujifilm X lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with these mounts are Leica SL3-P, Panasonic S1 II and Panasonic S1 IIE for the Leica L Mount and Fujifilm X-T30 III, Fujifilm X-E5 and Fujifilm X-M5 for the Fujifilm X Mount.
Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D is also available in Canon EF-M and Sony E mounts.
Focal Range
7artisans 10mm f2.8 II L is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 10mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of
15mm.
On the other hand, the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 9mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of 13.5mm when used on a APS-C / DX format camera.
