7artisans 55 mm f/16 - 1.4 Mark II, Nikon Z

This lens can only be focused manually. While manual focusing may take longer and is more challenging than using autofocus, it offers several advantages: it allows you to focus precisely on the point you want, enabling shots that align perfectly with your vision. In situations where autofocus would struggle—such as in low light, on smooth surfaces with little texture, or in foggy weather—you will prefer to focus manually.

This lens has a fixed focal length that cannot be changed. Prime lenses offer a high aperture, allowing you to capture good images even in less than optimal lighting conditions. They are particularly suitable when you want to capture specific and distinctive compositions. Thanks to the large possible aperture, you can achieve a shallower depth of field, effectively isolating subjects from the background through the deliberate use of sharpness and blur.
