Seven Craftsmen launches 37mm and 57mm T2.9 full-frame cinema lenses starting at $290
On November 7, 2025, Chinese optics brand Seven Craftsmen introduced two new full-frame cinema lenses under its "Flower" art series. The 37mm T2.9 lens is priced at ¥2,190 (approximately $305 USD), while the 57mm T2.9 lens starts at ¥2,090 (around $290 USD).
These lenses fall under the category of "explosive lenses," a type of special effects lens designed to manipulate visual focus and distort reality for enhanced cinematic impact. They are compatible with mirrorless cameras via PL-Z, E, L, or R adapter rings, making them suitable for a wide range of professional setups.
The lenses are built for full-frame sensors and support high-precision manual focus and rotation, ideal for creative filmmakers seeking stylized depth and distortion. The 57mm model is particularly well-suited for portrait and medium-range shots, while the 37mm offers a wider field of view for dynamic framing.
These new additions expand Seven Craftsmen's lineup of artistic prime lenses, which are known for their affordability and unique visual characteristics. The company continues to target independent filmmakers and content creators looking for professional-grade tools without the premium price tag.
Seven Craftsmen is a Chinese lens manufacturer specializing in affordable, creative optics for photography and cinematography. Founded in Shenzhen, the company is known for producing manual prime lenses with distinctive visual effects, catering to both amateur and professional users worldwide.
