Last month, the newsletter also hosted DPReview Camera Debate Madness of March (and part of April). Readers and editors weighed the choices between primes and zooms, lens-focusing design, viewfinder- or touchscreen-only cameras, and more.

7Artisans releases 50mm F1.4 Tilt lens
Image: 7Artisans |
7Artisans has released a new manual focus 50mm F1.4 Tilt lens, compatible with Sony and Fujifilm APS-C cameras, as well as Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras.
The new 50mm lens is made up of seven elements in six groups and has 12 aperture blades. It has a minimum focusing distance of 0.5m (19.6″) and weighs 364g (12.8oz). 7Artisans states the lens has a full metal build but does not mention weather sealing.
At the front of the lens is a numbered aperture ring, with the depth of field scale and distance scale focus ring sitting just behind. Users can rotate the lens a full 360-degrees and the tilt axis moves left to right. The company has yet to confirm how many degrees the lens can tilt on either side.
Although photographers commonly use tilt lenses for architecture photography and to experiment with depth of field, 7Artisans claims the 50mm F1.4 offers enough clarity for portraiture, claiming distortion of only 1.9%.
Search engines will likely confuse the new 7Artisan lens with another 50mm F1.4 tilt lens made by TTArtisan. Although similar brand names, they’re two separate companies, so it’s worth confirming who you’re buying from should you decide to purchase either lens.
Pricing and availability
The new 50mm F1.4 tilt lens is now available from 7Artisan’s website and Amazon at a suggested retail price of $226, and could be an affordable option for those looking to be more creative with their photography.

The latest Lumix puts a Four Thirds sensor in a full-frame body with boosted AF and a wealth of stills and video capabilities to create a Swiss Army Knife of a Micro Four Thirds camera.
The fourth camera in Leica’s SL series of full-frame mirrorless cameras sees the 60MP BSI sensor from the Q3 and M11 models arrive with a significant interface redesign.
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm’s classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are among the updates.
