I have to admit that I haven't given enough time to review the many, many lenses that are coming to us out of China. The only thing harder than knowing which Chinese camera companies belong to which other camera companies is knowing how to pronounce the often strange naming conventions given to the brands.
7Artisans announced the 50mm f/1.8 lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It is the company's first-ever autofocus-equipped lens.
7artisans announced a new 14mm T2.9 cinema lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It is the widest of the four primes in 7artisans' "Spectrum" series of cine lenses.
7Artisans announced a new 9mm f/5.6 full-frame ultra-wide prime lens for the most popular mirrorless mounts that promises a relatively close focusing distance and a 132-degree viewing angle.
7Artisans, a brand most well known for affordable manual focus lenses, is trying its hand at audio with the introduction of a new wireless lavalier microphone set.
7Artisans has announced a new 24mm f/1.4 wide-angle prime lens for six APS-C camera mounts that is extremely cheap, but it doesn't have autofocus.
7artisans has released a 79mm Handheld Split Diopter Filter that it says allows photographers to add a blur or bokeh effect to the edges of a photo to "enhance visual storytelling."
7Artisans has announced an extremely affordable 18mm f/6.3 II ultra-thin cap lens, which makes major changes from the company's original version.
7artisans has announced a new all-metal, fully manual 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye lens for Canon EF-mount APS-C DSLRs.
7Artisans has announced a new wide-angle APS-C lens for Nikon Z, Sony E, Fuji X, EOS-M, and MFT mounts, the 12mm f/2.8 Mark II, an updated version of its previous 12mm f/2.8.
7Artisans has announced a new large-aperture prime lens for the Leica M Mount, the M35mm f/2 Mark II, an updated model of its previous 35mm f/2 for Leica rangefinders that has since been discontinued.
The 7artisans 60mm f/2.8 II APS-C is a lens designed specifically for crop-frame mirrorless. Instead of just a ported mount, there’s no image circle wasted. The design itself is a big upgrade that makes the Mark I look like a weird prototype in comparison.
Macro photography in the field is not always easy or comfortable, often requiring long hours outdoors in the heat. So now more than ever, I’m seeing the benefits of lightweight lenses and bodies.
Chinese camera lens manufacturer 7Artisans has announced the affordable $236 APS-C 50mm f/0.95 lens for Sony E, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, EOS-M, and Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mounts.
Chinese camera lens manufacturer 7artisans has expanded its lineup of Nikon Z Mount lenses to include a 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye ($270), 55mm f/1.4 II ($130), and the 60mm f/2.8 II Macro ($180).
The Chinese camera lens manufacturer 7Artisans has released a new golden 35mm f/5.6 full-frame manual-focus lens for Leica M cameras.
If the typical 35mm f/1.4 or even f/1.2 lens isn't fast enough for you, then 7artisans might have you covered. For just $255, you can pick up a 35mm f/0.95 APS-C lens for any one of these five mounts: Sony E, Fuji X, Canon M, Nikon Z, and even Micro Four Thirds (MFT).
Is it too good to be true? A cheap M mount lens that goes all the way to f/1.1? Does the $369 7artisans 50mm f/1.1 lens belongs in the bargain bin or on your camera?
The Chinese lens manufacturer 7Artisans has released four new lenses to market. They're all designed for mirrorless cameras, with mounting options for Sony E, MFT, Fujifilm X, and Canon EOS M cameras. There's also a new lens for Leica M cameras.
