SUMMARY
TTartisan is reportedly developing a new line of full-frame prime lenses called Neo, designed for "fun" with customizable exteriors but lacking aperture and focus rings. The author argues this concept is wasteful, especially following Earth Day, and suggests customizable lens sleeves for existing products would be a more practical and eco-friendly solution. These ringless lenses are deemed gimmicky, potentially difficult to resell, and unsuitable for serious photographers due to their lack of basic functionality.
