The momentum behind mirrorless lens support has been steadily building as third party manufacturers recognize that the various mounts are fertile ground to plant their brand. Affordable lenses will always garner attention, but absurdly affordable lenses with fast apertures are all the more alluring. And because of this, there is currently a window of opportunity for brands to invade the consciousness of consumers and abscond with their serious consideration.
7artisans has released a small selection of lenses for Fuji, Leica, MFT, and Sony that they hope will do just that.
