Tamron Link TL-01 Wireless Lens Control Accessory Announced, Available for Pre-Order

Tamron has announced the Tamron Link (Model TL-01), a new wireless accessory that enables Bluetooth control of compatible Tamron lenses via smartphone.

The Tamron Link connects to a compatible Tamron lens and communicates wirelessly with your smartphone via Bluetooth 5.4, with a maximum range of 5 meters (16.4 feet). This eliminates the need for a cable connection between the camera and phone, giving photographers and videographers more flexibility on set.

The accessory works with the updated Tamron Lens Utility app (now version 5.0), which adds several new features including Focus/Iris Marker Link, Ring Stopper for preventing unintended adjustments, selectable focus and aperture rotation angles, Focus Time Lapse for interval shooting, Astro Focus Lock with fine adjustment, and a Night Mode that turns the screen red for low-light shooting.

7Artisans AF 135mm f/1.8 Lens Coming Soon for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L Mount

7Artisans is preparing to announce a new AF 135mm f/1.8 full-frame prime lens at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan. The lens will be available in Sony E-mount, Nikon Z mount, and Leica L mount.

7Artisans AF 135mm f/1.8 Lens

The 7Artisans 135mm f/1.8 AF combines a classic portrait focal length with a fast f/1.8 aperture, delivering shallow depth of field and a natural compression effect that makes it ideal for portrait photography. The lens features a relatively short minimum focusing distance of 0.68m for a 135mm lens, allowing for tighter compositions and close-up detail shots.

The lens includes a physical aperture ring for intuitive exposure control, an AF/MF switch for quick focus mode changes, and a customizable function button that can be assigned to various camera functions. It appears to share a similar optical design with the well-regarded Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens (B&H), which currently retails for $899.
