The new 7Artisans 135mm f/1.8 MAX lens (E/Z/L) will be released in May. Additional information on the upcoming lens can be found here (check also the official website for updates):

Here are some sample photos taken with the 135mm lens:

“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 Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 lens ($899):

5월중에 7아티산에서 135.8 렌즈가 출시될 것 같습니다.

라인업은 맥스 라고 명명 되었는데요. 나름 쩜팔 가성비 단렌즈군들을 맥스로 부르지 않을런지..

가격은 빌트록스 135.8 을 기준으로 삼았네요. $899

가격은 좀 더 저렴하면 좋을 것 같은데.. 5월을 기다려 봅니다~~
