7Artisans 60mm F2.8 Macro is a “60mm macro lens” designed for “APS – C size” mirrorless camera that can shoot from closeup to infinity. It can be captured without disturbing from remote places such as insects and small animals, so it is suitable for shooting subjects that are difficult to close close-up.

The focus part is sharp, blurred is beautiful, and the whole is depicted richly in gradation. Ultra close-up shooting up to 5 times magnification is possible by installing an optional extension tube.

Viltrox 85mm F1.8 Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm Delayed

FR reader Chris pre-ordered the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm at eBay here. Now he has been contacted by the retailer, who told him that there are issues with the lens, and hence the shipping, which was originally expected for October, will delay.

As you know, I did test a pre-production Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF lens at photokina in September, and I share an autofocus video as well as JPEG and RAW samples to download here.

“We can not show you th perfect lens now, We just received notification from the factory. They said there is something wrong with the lens and can not when will fixed done. There is some troubles with the factory, too. We are so upset when we got this news. We can five you the full refund first. When the factory fixed the problem, we will let you know. And also ship you the DHL Express when you pay again if the lens fixed the problems. We can apply for some discounts to the company for you. Even if we just got a little bit profit. Is it OK for you?”
