You can now buy the new 7Artisans AF 27mm f/2.8 E-mount AF lens on Amazon US&EU (Click here).

SonyAlphaBlog already reviewed the lens and concluded:

The 7 Artisans 27mm F2.8 (129$) is a very good compact little lens form 7 artisans with very good performance overall in term of sharpness, AF, compactness. Its weak points are the vignetting and distortion. Color rendering and resistance to flare are good but could be improved but for 129$ it is a very nice performance

Compared to the TTArtisan 27mm F2.8 AF (133$) , the 7 Artisans is more enjoyable to use thanks to its better sharpness wide open and more efficient AF even if the TTArtisan is a little bit better in term of color rendition

On the show floor at NAB 2024, we stopped by Blackmagic Design’s booth to learn more about their upcoming URSA Cine 17K from Business Development Manager Stuart Ashton. The camera is still under development and won’t start shipping before the end of this year, but we could still get an idea of what is all about. Let’s take a look!

I am impressed Blackmagic did this kind of effort. it might force the hand of the big guys like Sony to also make truly large sensor “affordable” cameras!

Sometimes I think I’m not part of this world. I was sure that this Micro Yashica camera would not make significant sales, but now I see that they have raised almost half a million dollars on Kickstarter!

It would be interesting to study why this cheap made plastic camera with low quality image did go viral. What’s really so special on this one? I don’t really get it. Let me know in the comment system why you think this is selling strong!
