Ulanzi Introduces Its First Mirrorless Lens: the 27mm f/2.8
Ulanzi, a company known for its extensive range of photography and videography accessories, has launched its first mirrorless lens, the 27mm f/2.8, specifically designed for Sony E-Mount APS-C cameras. This new lens marks Ulanzi’s entry into the competitive lens market, expanding its product lineup beyond accessories like tripods, LED lights, and camera cages.
The Ulanzi 27mm f/2.8 is a compact prime lens, measuring only 48.1mm (1.8 inches) in length and weighing 182 grams (6.4 ounces). Despite its lightweight plastic construction, the lens boasts several advanced features. It supports autofocus with eye-tracking capabilities and includes in-camera correction for distortion and chromatic aberration. These features make it a versatile tool for photographers and videographers looking for high performance in a small package.
This lens is compatible with a range of Sony APS-C cameras, including the Sony ZV-E1, E10, A1, A5000, A6000, A7, A9, and NEX-series. However, Ulanzi has not yet confirmed its compatibility with cinema cameras like the Sony FX30. The inclusion of a USB-C port suggests that future firmware updates could expand its compatibility to additional camera models.
The Ulanzi 27mm f/2.8’s optical design consists of 6 elements in 5 groups. It features a 52mm front filter thread, allowing for easy attachment of various filters. The minimum focus distance of 30cm (11.8 inches) makes it suitable for close-up shots, adding to its versatility as a prime lens.
Priced at $139.95 in the US and €159.95 in Europe, the Ulanzi 27mm f/2.8 offers an affordable entry point for those looking to expand their lens collection. This competitive pricing, combined with its advanced features and compact design, positions the lens as an attractive option for both amateur and professional photographers using Sony E-Mount APS-C cameras.
With the introduction of the 27mm f/2.8, Ulanzi is making a significant move into the lens market, promising to deliver quality and innovation at an accessible price point. This lens’s blend of portability, advanced features, and affordability makes it a compelling choice for Sony APS-C camera users. As Ulanzi continues to evolve and expand its product offerings, the photography and videography community will undoubtedly be watching closely to see what the company releases next.
