7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 Coming Soon

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 15, 2026

It looks like 7Artisans is getting ready to launch the 7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 since they are looking for reviewers on weibo for Sony E-mount. The Lite series of lenses launched on Sony E-mount first, while being tested on Fujifilm X-mount at the end of last year, and the lenses launched for X-mount at the beginning of this year, so the new lens should be out for X-mount within a couple of months.

OL: Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Silver Review – Re-Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 11, 2026


Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 XF: B&H Photo / Amazon

Optical Limits published its full review of the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 a while ago, but they decided to retest the lens in silver and the results are bettter than previously so you can read an excerpt below or the full review here.

At least on 26-megapixel sensors, the sharpness is perfectly fine from f/2.8. At f/1.7, it’s quite usable at least. A 40-megapixel sensor is more challenging, but this applies to most lenses really. Image distortions are on a low level, albeit a bit wavy. The vignetting is a bit on the high side which doesn’t come as a surprise given the compact size of the lens. Sun stars aren’t a big strength…

Pros

  1. Amazing value
  2. Sharp
  3. Compact and lightweight

Cons

  1. High vignetting

New TTArtisan AF 75mm f/2 Silver Edition For X-Mount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 10, 2026


TTArtisan AF 75mm F2: Amazon

TTArtisan just released the TTArtisan AF 75mm f/2 in Silver for X mount, and it can be found on Amazon. The lens was first announced last year in black.

Key Features
  • Full-Frame | f/2 to f/16
  • Fast, Portrait-Length Prime
  • Stepper Motor Autofocus
  • Clickable Aperture Ring
  • ED and High Index Elements
  • 9-Blade Diaphragm
  • All-Metal Construction
  • Rear Lens Cap with USB-C Port

The TTArtisan AF 75mm f/2 Lens is a fast, portable, and autofocus-enabled prime lens ideal for portraiture. Lightweight at 12 oz, the lens’s bright f/2 aperture is effective at separating subjects from the background with a pleasing bokeh. The lens can focus on subjects as close as 2.5′, while its optical design features an extra-low dispersion element and four high-index elements to increase sharpness and reduce chromatic aberrations. A stepper motor drives the lens’s autofocus, resulting in quick, quiet, and accurate focusing that’s further bolstered by support for eye, animal, and vehicle detection algorithms. The all-metal lens body features a clickable aperture ring for on-lens adjustment with haptic feedback during use. The lens comes with a lens hood, a front lens cap, and a rear lens cap with a USB-C port for firmware upgrades.
