7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.4 XF lens for Fuji X-mount is now officially announced. It is a classic lens in full-frame equivalent. Its high aperture ratio makes it universal for shooting almost any scene, including in low-light conditions.
Like all 7Artisans optics, the new lens is very inexpensive—it costs only $169, making it an affordable solution for beginner photographers who want to try shooting with fixed optics. Orders are open at B&H Photo and Amazon.
