AstrHori has expanded its compact lens lineup with the new AF 27mm f/2.8, now available for Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts. This lens was previously released for Nikon Z-mount, and it's designed for APS-C cameras across all platforms. With a focal length equivalent to roughly 40mm on crop sensors, it sits right in that sweet spot between wide and standard. The lens is lightweight too, weighing about 165 grams in the Z-mount version, and it keeps a slim profile at just 43mm long.

The AF 27mm f/2.8 features a relatively simple optical layout: six elements in five groups and includes a 6-blade aperture that stops down to f/16. Autofocus is powered by a stepping motor (STM) with a lead screw design, which helps deliver smooth, quiet performance, especially useful for video. AstrHori says the lens supports eye and face detection autofocus, making it easy to keep portraits sharp even as your subject moves. It focuses down to 0.3 meters, which isn't macro-close but does allow for decent close-ups in day-to-day use. The field of view comes in at around 55°, offering a natural perspective.

While it’s not packed with high-end features, the AF 27mm f/2.8 is priced accordingly at $126. It’s available in both black and titanium finishes, although Sony users will only get the black version.
