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.
