7Artisans’ Latest Teaser

7Artisans is teasing a new “Lite” series of lenses in China, designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, and from what has been shared so far, the idea seems pretty straightforward, small, light, and easy to carry. Exact specs aren’t out yet, but 7Artisans says the focal lengths are meant to cover everyday use cases, including street and travel photography.

The most eye-catching detail so far is the weight. Each lens in the Lite series is said to come in at around 180 grams, which is genuinely lightweight for an autofocus lens. That is lighter than many current APS-C primes and even lighter than some smartphones. Compact lenses like this have been getting more popular lately, especially as people want to keep their setups simple and portable. The fact that autofocus is included also suggests these aren’t just barebones budget lenses, despite the “Lite” name.

Beyond that, information is still pretty thin. The teaser hasn’t shown up on 7Artisans’ international social channels yet, so it is unclear whether these lenses will launch globally right away or roll out in China first. There is also no confirmation on mounts, pricing, or release timing. For now, it is just a teaser.
