The German company Rollei is back in the lens business and they announced a new 85mm f/1.8 lens you can preorder for 299 Euro. Rollei is also an official partner of Viltrox, so I don’t know if this is a revised version of the Viltrox 85 mm f/1.8 or if it includes some new optical design elements. What do you think?
Product highlights:
🔸 85 mm portrait focal length – natural proportions without distortion
🔸 F/1.8 aperture – sharp at open aperture and soft, round bokeh thanks to 11 blades
🔸 VAF series – high resolution for mirrorless full-frame cameras
🔸 HFT-X coating – reduces ghosting and flare, maintains contrast
🔸 STM autofocus – fast, quiet + face/eye tracking for photos and videos
