Third-party glass dismantling the entry-level prime market again. 7Artisans just announced three autofocus APS-C primes for Sony E and Fujifilm X, with the 25mm landing at $125 USD. That's a street photography kit lens for the price of a decent memory card. The real story isn't the focal lengths, it's the weight: 183g on the 25mm means it's genuinely lighter than most kit zooms. If you're building a lightweight travel or event kit on an X-T body or an entry Sony, this series deserves a look before you default to the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS at four times the price.
