For the 2026 CP+ show in Japan, 7Artisans will soon announce a new AF 135mm f/1.8 lens for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Leica L mount:
Here is the translation:
The 7Artisans 135mm F1.8 AF is a large-aperture prime lens compatible with full-frame sensors. Planned mounts include Sony E, Nikon Z, and L, making it compatible with mirrorless cameras of all these systems. The combination of a 135mm focal length and an F1.8 aperture maximizes the subject’s focus with a shallow depth of field and a compression effect that accentuates the subject. It’s ideal for portraits and other scenes where you want to highlight the subject. The minimum focusing distance of 0.68m, relatively short for a 135mm lens, allows for close-up shots. The aperture ring allows for intuitive aperture control. The AF/MF switch allows for smooth focus control depending on the shooting situation. Furthermore, the camera’s function button can be assigned to various functions, allowing for customization to suit your shooting style. This lens combines the expressive power of a large-aperture prime lens with a practical operation system.
My guess is that this lens is based on the existing Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 lens ($899):
Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens for Nikon Z-mount now available
The Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB FE lens for Sony E-mount is now available for pre-order
