Curiosity: Someone just posted the first images shot on the upcoming Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 FE LAB lens

Image of the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 FE LAB lens

Viltrox will release three new autotofocus E-mount lenses in the next couple of months:

  • AF135mm F1.8 LAB
  • AF56mm F1.7
  • AF40mm F2.5

The images below are shot with the new 135mm FE lens which will be also their first “LAB” branded lens. This lens should be able to match the optical quality of the Sony 135mm GM lens but for less than half of the price. Sadly the images are only small size so you can’t really say anything about the IQ yet :(

New leaks and more info about the upcoming Sigma 500mm f/5.6 lens

Share

On top you can see the upcoming Sigma 500mm f/5.6 lens mounted on the Sony A1. It’s kind of an odd style…almost looks like it has some telconverter built-in or not? Anyway, I got some additional specs:

Sigma 500mm f/5.6 specs:

  • Lightweight lens…less than 1,5kg and so the lightest telephoto prime lens you can buy.
  • Very fast AF on Sony A1 (lens has linear motor)
  • The lens sharper than the Sony 200-600 G
  • very low chromatic aberration
  • Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras
  • Announcement on February 21.

My guess it’s that will cost $1,500-$2000 less than the current Sigma 500mm f/4.0 for Canon/Nikon.
