Kerlee 35mm f/1.2 For E-Mount


If you’re into ultra fast glass Kerlee might be a good option for you. While Kerlee isn’t a big name, Asian manufacturers have been making a lot of great lenses lately that are worth the investment. I couldn’t find a video of this lens in use on a Sony camera, but Photorumors has one of it in use on a Canon camera, which you can find below. The lens is currently available through Amazon if you’re interested in an ultra-fast manual 35mm.
