Optical Limits published its full Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM review, which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:

Overall, this is a near-perfect macro lens now. The only downside is its rather hefty price tag.

Pros

  1. Extremely sharp
  2. Internal focusing
  3. Smooth bokeh
  4. Fast AF

Cons

  1. Focus breathing (on older Sony cameras)
  2. Pricey

7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 Coming Soon

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 15, 2026

It looks like 7Artisans is getting ready to launch the 7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 since they are looking for reviewers on weibo for Sony E-mount. The Lite series of lenses launched on Sony E-mount first, while being tested on Fujifilm X-mount at the end of last year, and the lenses launched for X-mount at the beginning of this year, so the new lens should be out for E-mount within a couple of months since testing on E-mount has begun.
