Chinese lens manufacturer 7artisans has some exciting news for photographers with the announcement of an upcoming APS-C autofocus lens. The lens, which is positioned as a “first large aperture lens for young people,” promises a 35mm focal length and a wide f/1.4 aperture.
The lens is expected to be priced under 899 Yuan ($124)
While specific details remain scarce, the company has hinted at a compact and lightweight design, weighing approximately 180 grams. The use of a stepping motor for autofocus suggests potentially quiet and precise focusing performance.
Priced competitively for enthusiasts, the lens is expected to retail for under 899 yuan, with an additional 100 yuan launch discount. This aggressive pricing strategy aligns with the company’s focus on providing accessible optics for younger photographers. 7artisans has previously released the 85mm F1.8 full-frame E-mount autofocus lens, demonstrating its commitment to the autofocus market. The upcoming APS-C lens is anticipated to expand the company’s catalog, reaching a wider audience of photographers.
