7Artisan is teasing a new lightweight lens that is about 90g, which they plan to announce on January 27th. It looks a lot like the 7Artisans AF 40mm f/2.5. It measures H45mm × L 62mm, and we first covered it at the NAB Show. The silhouette looks the same, but the lens had a hood on it at NAB.

Godox is going to release a new flash called the Godox V1Mid that is a little less powerful than the Godox V1 Pro. Above is the only information about this upcoming flash, so I had AI translate all the text and create a press release out of it, and I included a translated spec sheet below.
