Here's a quick update on the previously reported Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 full-frame lens: it is currently being tested and is expected to be officially released before the end of the year (2024) with a price tag of under $1000 - that's impressive considering that the 135mm f/1.8 lenses from Japanese manufacturers are usually over $2k:
- Nikon Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena: $2,496.95
- Canon RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM: $2,099 (now $200 off)
- Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM: $2,098
- Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8: $799
The 135mm LAB lens will be first released for Sony E-mouth and later for Nikon Z-mount. Here are a few more pictures of the upcoming Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB full-frame lens:
