7Artisans 24mm f/1.8 AF Now Available

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 26, 2025


The 7Artisans 24mm f/1.8 AF, which was first leaked here, is not available from B&H Photo and Amazon.

An everyday prime designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the 24mm f/1.8 AF Lens from 7artisans Photoelectric provides a wide perspective and a bright maximum aperture for creating impressive bokeh. Its comprehensive optical design and aperture work together to promise excellent image quality and reliable performance even in dim lighting conditions. Driving the lens is an STM stepper motor, which allows quick and quiet focusing performance.

Optical Construction
To reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality, the 24mm f/1.8 AF lens employs three extra-low dispersion elements, two high-refraction elements, and two aspherical elements.

An 11-blade diaphragm helps create pleasing background blur in the out-of-focus areas of your frame, creating a more flattering overall image. This along with the lens’s bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, provides more precise control over your depth of field, allowing you to more easily isolate your subjects.

Physical Design

  • De-clicked aperture ring allows for smooth and quiet adjustments when capturing video.
  • Customizable Fn button provides quicker access to your preferred setting.
  • AF/MF switch for easily swapping between auto and manual focusing.
  • USB port for convenient firmware updates.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 23, 2025


Godox iT30Pro S TTL: B&H Photo / Amazon

Developed as a highly portable TTL flash for use with Sony cameras, the iT30Pro S TTL Mini Flash from Godox is an effective lighting tool with automated flash settings. Offering support for Sony ADI / P-TTL and the built-in Godox 2.4 GHz X wireless radio system, the iT30Pro S can be used as a transmitter or receiver unit. Use it to trigger select Godox flashes with 2.4 GHz X system compatibility. As a receiver, the iT30Pro S can be controlled by an optional Godox transmitter. The iT30Pro S is fully compatible with Sony’s global shutter sync. The flash supports TTL, manual and multi flash modes, HSS, second curtain sync, FEC, WN switch, and other handy functionalities. A compact and versatile lighting control device, the flash features a convenient 2.8″ full-color touchscreen interface for comfortable operation and a shoe-mounted housing for compatibility with a wide variety of cameras. The iT30Pro S is ideal for photographers in need of a compact and reliable camera-mountable light source with TTL capability. The iT30Pro S’s modern and sleek design in black finish will also elevate the aesthetics of your camera.

The First Godox Mini TTL Flash
The iT30Pro S offers automatic and manual controls and works well for photographers of all experience levels, including beginners or those working with smaller-scale shoots. It arrives as the brand’s first TTL flash in a mini format—measuring only 2.6 x 1.9 x 1.8″. The iT30Pro S has a guide number of 49.2′ at ISO 100 and flash durations from 1/1000 to 1/30,000 sec. You can also manually adjust the flash’s output from 1/128 to full power to achieve greater lighting precision.

WN Switch
Effortlessly toggle between W and N modes using an integrated WN switch placed on the side of the flash body. The W mode enables the wide-angle diffuser to extend the flash range, while providing even lighting at a close distance. When selecting the N mode, the flash maintains high light intensity over a longer distance, while the diffuser is off.

Built-In Rechargeable Battery
After charging with the flash’s included USB-C cable, the iT30Pro S’s built-in 7.2V, 900mAh lithium battery provides up to 560 full power flashes with a 1.5 sec recycling time.

2.4 GHz X Wireless Radio System
The Godox 2.4 GHz X radio system is incorporated into the iT30Pro S for transmitter and receiver functionality. The iT30Pro S functions as a transmitter unit for select Godox flash units, while also working as a receiver unit for the separately available XPro, X2, and X3 transmitters. This compatibility with Godox’s X series flashes or transmitters enables more functionality and diverse setups. The iT30Pro S wireless system has a range of 328′, featuring four groups and 32 channels.

Control at Your Fingertips
The iT30Pro S has an intuitive touchscreen interface and onboard controls for easy and quick access to the flash settings. Indicators are available on the LCD panel to inform the remaining battery level.
