AstrHori 18mm f/8 2X Probe Macro Lens Announced

AstrHori 18mm f/8 2X Probe Macro: Amazon

AstrHori Introduces the First APS-C 2X Macro Probe Lens — 18mmF8
Let everyone realize creative, macro photography.

AstrHori announces the APS-C 18mm f/8 2x Macro Probe Lens for Sony E, Fuji X, Canon RF, EF, Nikon Z and more mounts.
The lens will be officially launched on May 29th on Amazon, AliExpress, independent stations and other platforms.
The lens is now on sale for an impressively-low price of just USD 719, EUR 999, JPY 119,599, GBP 879, MXN 14,369, CAD 989.

Following the launch of the 28mmF13 2X macro probe lens, the 18mmF8 2X macro macro probe lens is launched. I don’t know if there will be a 28mmF13 second-generation lens, let us look forward to it.

As the first APS-C probe lens, AstrHori 18mmF8 is a probe type macro lens with a detachable structure design, and the wide-angle focal length is 18mm. It makes up for the shortcomings that ordinary lenses cannot shoot in claustrophobic and small spaces. Stable image quality with a minimum focusing distance of approximately 0.05m and a maximum magnification ratio of 2:1 (life size).

The front end of the lens can be imaged separately, with a focal length of approximately 90mm, and in addition, the main subject is highlighted through the wide-angle macro, creating an immersive image.

This lens is not only an ideal choice for macro shooting, but the built-in movie gear can provide more convenience for movie shooting, whether it is a close-up of a product or a special lens for commercial shooting, it can be easily controlled.

Wider 18mm Under the same magnification, the wide-angle macro can accommodate more and larger content, shoot extremely small objects, and also capture the surrounding environment into the picture to enhance the sense of picture.

Front Waterproof Design The front group of the lens is 20cm extreme waterproof, with a limit wading line mark, which can directly enter family fish tanks, wild streams, small animal caves and other wading areas for work.

Built-in LED fill lightBuilt-in LED fill light, which is conducive to working in dark light. It can work when connected to a 5v power supply. It can effectively increase the light intensity when shooting with a small aperture for macro.

Waterproof protective lens is made of sapphire material The front protective lens is made of sapphire material, which is more wear-resistant, has a longer service life, and has wider application scenarios.

Camera Market Interview With President of Fujifilm Holdings Teiichi Goto


The camera market has slowed quite a bit over the past few years, but a recent interview with top executives by newswitch is full of almost universally positive statements about expected growth in 2023.

“The photography business was a stagnant business, but I found a new ‘gold mine’.” Teiichi Goto, president of Fujifilm Holdings (HD), shows signs of success. The operating income of the Imaging segment in fiscal 2022 is expected to increase to 72.9 billion yen, which is approximately double that of the previous fiscal year.

The company’s Imaging segment includes the instant camera “Cheki” and the digital camera “X series.” In particular, it seems that the promotion of digitization, starting with the smartphone printer “Link Series,” contributed to the increase in earnings.

I am glad that Instax printers are picking up for Fujifilm, but I am pretty sure we will continue to see camera sales fall going into the near future since Instax printers are largely used with cell phones even though they can be paired with most Fujifilm Cameras.

Interestingly newswitch includes a statement from CIPA that they expect digital camera sales to decrease by 7.6% from 7.4 million units the previous year, which means the positive talking points are spin or camera manufacturers know something that CIPA does not. Considering how many photography websites have shut down this year I think CIPA is probably spot on and I suggest readers use affiliate links on their favorite sites as much as possible because that is what keeps our sites going.
