The “new” Rollei f/1.8 FE lenses are now available for preorder at Fotoerhardt. I wrote “new” …but they are really a rehoused version of the 7Artisans 24mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/1.8 lenses.
With M-to-E adapters, you can easily use any Leica lens with an M mount on your Sony cameras. And if you have $10,000 to spare and want to buy the best 35 mm lens on the market, you can pre-order the new Leica Noctilux 35 mm f/1.2 lens from BHphoto (Click here).
SongRAW is set to launch the “Youth Edition” AF 50mm F1.2 and AF 85mm F1.2 full-frame autofocus lenses. Sources suggest that these new lenses will be priced lower than the current versions, along with reduced weight and further optimizations.
Their current lenses are quite large, so I hope you they have found a way to significantly reduce their size and weight.
As we all know, Canon has sold a lot of 100-300mm f/2.8 lenses. I had hoped that Sony would respond quickly and release an E-mount version soon. But it looks like they’re too late and will now be beaten by Nikon as well. Here are the first leaked images of the new Nikon 120-300mm f/2.8 lens.
One reason this lens is so popular is that its constant aperture offers sports photographers tremendous flexibility. Now, Sony will release a 100-400mm f/4.0 GM lens as next. So I guess we still have to wait a long time before they will make a f/2.8 GM version :(
