Who makes the better 9mm 5.6?

definitely something I don&#8217;t want to miss, which is why I bought the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-voigtlander-10mm-5-6-e-hyper-wide-heliar\/\">Voigtl\u00e4nder 10mm 5.6<\/a> as soon as it was available and replaced that one with the much better <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-9mm-5-6-ff-rl\/\">Laowa 9mm 5.6<\/a> as soon as that was available.<\/p>\n<p>As no one but Laowa made a rectilinear lens this wide yet, I didn&#8217;t know what to expect of this 7Artisans 9mm 5.6 when it was announced, especially as it is being sold at a 20% lower price.<\/p>\n<p>After having used this 7Artisans 9mm 5.6 for a few weeks I have to say I don&#8217;t see a clear winner when comparing the optical performance of these two lenses though. Depending on what aspects are more important to you, you may prefer one or the other.<\/p>\n<p>This 7Artisans 9mm 5.6 has better flare resistance and slightly lower vignetting, the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-9mm-5-6-ff-rl\/\">Laowa 9mm 5.6<\/a> is noticeably wider, focuses closer and thanks to its complex internal focus mechanism also performs better at close distances (a feature, I am not sure I ever made use of though).<\/p>\n<p>I am quite impressed by the performance of this 7Artisans lens. It isn&#8217;t a cheap copy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-9mm-5-6-ff-rl\/\">Laowa 9mm 5.6<\/a>, but actually performs better in some areas while also being more affordable.
