With the new LITE series, 7Artisans is introducing three autofocus prime lenses for APS-C/S35 mirrorless digital cameras. The series includes three focal lengths (25mm, 35mm, and 50mm), each with a maximum aperture of f/1.8.
The strikingly affordable lenses are characterized by their low weight and compact design and are aimed at photographers and videographers looking for particularly portable prime focal lengths with autofocus support. Despite the low price, the autofocus is said to operate quickly and quietly and can also be switched to manual focusing.
7Artisans AF 25/35/50mm f/1.8 LITE
Quality expectations should probably not be set too high at this price, but perhaps this offers an affordable set of three primes with their own character. The mounts offered are Sony E (APS-C) and Fuji X (APS-C).
Also not a given at this price: All lenses come in a solid metal housing with a similar weight between 178 and 183 grams. The dimensions are also the same for all three models in the series—namely 67x51mm. Furthermore, they have a 58mm filter thread for using screw-in filters. Last but not least, there is a USB-C port on the mount for firmware updates.
All other published specifications can be found in the following table:

Each 7Artisans lens (25/35/50mm) from the AF-f/1.8-LITE series is expected to be available from well-stocked photo retailers at the end of February for 129 Euros (RRP) including VAT.
