- First Images of "AF 10mm F4" and "AF 18mm F2.0" for Fujifilm X-Mount Unveiled
7Artisans, a third-party lens manufacturer well-known for its budget-friendly manual focus lenses, is gearing up to launch a powerful autofocus (AF) lineup that has Fujifilm users buzzing with anticipation. Recently, leaked first-look images of two new ultra-slim pancake AF lenses from 7Artisans surfaced on global rumor sites, drawing intense attention from camera enthusiasts worldwide.
The leaked lenses consist of two models: the "AF 10mm F4" and the "AF 18mm F2.0." Both products feature a "pancake" style exterior design, boasting ultimate portability with almost zero protrusion when mounted on a camera body.
The most eye-catching model is undoubtedly the "AF 10mm F4," designed to handle the ultra-wide-angle spectrum. When mounted on a Fujifilm X-series body utilizing an APS-C crop sensor, it delivers a sweeping field of view equivalent to approximately 15mm in 35mm full-frame format. It is expected to offer a stunning sense of space, not just for casual snapshots, but also for vast landscapes and architectural photography.
The simultaneously revealed "AF 18mm F2.0" is generating just as much excitement. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of roughly 27mm, it boasts the ideal "all-around focal length" for everyday street snapshots and cafe photography. Notably, while securing a relatively bright aperture of F2.0, it maintains an incredibly slim profile, achieving a flawless visual balance with Fujifilm’s signature classic body designs.
As the AF technology of Chinese manufacturers has advanced dramatically in recent years, these two new lenses are also predicted to deliver fast and precise focusing performance. For users seeking wider focal lengths and excellent cost-performance beyond Fujifilm's native pancake options (such as the XF 27mm F2.8), these upcoming releases from 7Artisans are poised to be the ultimate alternative. The exact release dates and pricing are expected to be unveiled through an official announcement soon.
✍️ Editor's Note
"This is refreshing news for those who have felt limited by the narrow selection of 'true pancake' lenses that match Fujifilm's aesthetic. It is particularly impressive that they managed to implement an ultra-wide 10mm focal length into an AF lens of this thickness. I cautiously predict this could become the ultimate 'daily lens'—something you can keep on your camera instead of a body cap to casually snap photos anytime. Time to get your wallets ready!"
