SUMMARY
7Artisans, known for manual focus lenses, has released autofocus 24mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.8 primes for Sony E-mount. Reviewer Chris Tellez found the lenses surprisingly well-built with a metal body, comparable in size to first-party f/1.8 primes. Initial autofocus tracking was inconsistent, particularly with the 24mm, but a firmware update significantly improved performance. After the update, the lenses delivered impressive rendering, even drawing praise from viewers of Tellez's video work.
