On Reddit someone posted this very first image of the future Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 FE lens! This will be Viltrox second “LAB” series after the just officially launched 135mm f/1.8 FE which is available for reorder since this week at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
After this 35mm lens we will also get those:
AF50mm F1.2 LAB
AF85mm F1.2 LAB
And, what do you think about this new lens?
Reminder: Viltrox launched a major discount on all their E-mount lenses

A couple of months ago Sigma announced the 28-45mm first Full Frame f/1.8 autofocus zoom lens. back than I already had little doubt that Sigma would one day also make 45mm + zoom version. Asobinet did now spot a newly published Sigma patent describing the optical design of the 45-90mm f/1.8 Full Frame lens. Now patents a re never a guarantee that we will get a REAL product. But in this case my bet is on this lens coming within the next 1-2 years. What do you think?
CineD tested the very unique new Blazar E-mount lenses and concluded:
The lens is sharp where it is supposed to be (center), and of course, the more you close it down, the sharper the edges get, too.
All in all, I would like to salute this young company for coming up with a very desirable lens and for closing the gap in terms of “ease of use” between spherical and anamorphic lenses. It is worth noting that the 50mm lens will be released first, and it will come in E-mount. Additional mounts are planned for early next year.
