7Artisans' new 27mm f/2.8 lens for APS-C Sony mirrorless cameras includes autofocus, a compact design, and a wallet-friendly $129 price.
The 27mm focal length delivers a standard lens-style field of view similar to a 40mm lens on a full-frame camera, meaning the new AF 27mm f/2.8 should be well-suited to portrait, street, and travel photography. It should work okay for some landscape scenes, although not necessarily ones with expansive vistas.
Given its focal length and aperture combination, the prime lens is reasonably compact and lightweight. It is 48mm long and weighs approximately 172 grams , including its front and rear lens caps. The lens accepts 52mm filters. The lens includes six elements arranged across five groups, and its aperture diaphragm has only six blades — a small number for a modern lens. InThe autofocus-equipped lens uses an STM motor to focus, and 7Artisans says that the lens is compatible with the eye-tracking and face-detection features available in modern Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras. The lens can focus as closely as 0.3 meters , which should work well enough for general photography but isn’t approaching macro territory.
