New 7Artisans AF 40mm f/2.5 FF lens makes its debut at the NAB show - Photo Rumors

At the 2025 NAB show, 7Artisans unveiled a new 40mm f/2.5 full-frame autofocus lens: Check the official 7artisans website for updates. Sony and Viltros both already have 40mm f/2.5 lenses. All new product announcements from the 2025 NAB show can be found on this page. The new 7Artisans lens was...

I am still waiting for that 7artisans Lens.

Another option is to get the Sigma 35mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary and activate the crop zoom on your camera (If you have a S9, S5II/X, S1ii, S1iie or S1Rii), leaving the focal length at 40mm... Z04 Flucht

Thank you very much. This is a good idea :)
This should work very well on S1IIE

I guess, I'll try it out.
I'm looking for 1C1L walkabout setup, when I don't want to use a bigger, heavier zoom.
Also, I'm more creative that way.
40-42mm is for me the best FL of all.

I had the GR3x (40mm) and exchanged it for the normal GR3 28mm. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t. The GR3 its size is unbelievable. A very very good Aps-c camera, with an outstanding lens, much better then the Fuji X100v. But in the size of a pack of cigarettes, Feels very sturdy in the hand (magnesium-alloy body), and very good one handed operation. Fits in a jeans pocket. Usable up to iso 1600.

But actually the 40mm is better for me as it challenges me more. With my time with Fuji the XF18/1.4 was my favorite lens. 40mm was too tight for my envisioned use case, like environmental portraits with family in a restaurant etc. and replace my iPhone main camera.When I bought the GR3x I still had the 18/1.4. But after switching to S5ii and selling all Fuji gear the beloved 28mm eqv of the GR3 made more sense to me.

So if you really like the 40mm look, and don’t necessarily need an evf, GR3x is something to consider.

I'd love to have GR3X.
There is no another cam like this for the street photography.
I wish, they had it with EVF, too. I don't really mind, if it's bigger cam due to EVF.
