New Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 Full Frame


Viltrox just full announced its new Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 Full Frame lens and you can get on Amazon.

  • Full-frame Lens: The Viltrox 35mm F1.8 wide-angle lens is designed for full-frame format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, and when used with APS-C format cameras, it has the equivalent perspective of a 52.5mm lens.
  • Large Aperture: Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over the depth of field. The Nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. Integrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control; this ring also features an ‘A’ position for automated, camera-based aperture selection.
  • Excellent Optical Design: The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements, which combine to suppress a variety of aberrations and produce high sharpness, clarity, and colour accuracy, and two high refractive index elements are included to suppress a variety of aberrations and distortion.
  • STM Stepping Motor: STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, an internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response.
  • HD Nano Multilayer Coating: In order to solve the dispersion problem caused by a large aperture, this lens adopts a high-definition Nano multilayer coating to correct the dispersion difference and eliminate ghosting and flare.

Kenko 400mm f/8 II Coming Soon


Nokishita has spotted a new mirror lens from Kento listed as the Kenko 400mm f/8 IIS. Mirror lens are a lot of fun and generally come with a T-mount so you can adapt them to any system, but this one is designed for mirrorless like the new Tokina 400mm f/8 that is currently on sale for a great price on Amazon. Mirror lenses are great for getting a lot of sharp reach in a small size, but the bokeh can be offensive sometimes.

Mirror lens designs are quite simple and hard to mess up so just about any mirror lens will do if you’re just getting into them. The Tokina that I just bought does have something new and interesting to me though… It works as a 1:2.5 macro lens. No news about if the Kenko does the same, but it very well might. Below is the translated Nokishita text.

Pentax ” K-3 Mark III 20-40mm Lens Kit (Black / Silver)” and Kenko “Mirror Lens 400mm F8 IIS (Nikon F / Nikon Z / Canon EF / Canon EF-M / Sony E / Pentax K / Fujifilm X”・ Microforcers) ”has been added to some domestic retailers.
