Venus Optics has announced its first autofocus lens ever, the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF. The full-frame lens weighs just 0.93 pounds (420 grams) and is available for multiple mirrorless camera systems, including Canon RF, L-Mount, Nikon Z, and Sony E-mount.
TTArtisan released the 10mm f/2 ASPH. lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras.
Pergear has announced the second generation of its 14mm f/2.8 full-frame prime lens for mirrorless cameras.
A 12mm full-frame equivalent lens isn't my idea of a versatile do-everything piece of kit, but Fujifilm really needs something like this to supplement the very expensive -- and heavy -- XR 8-16mm f/2.8 zoom. That is a great lens, but it's beyond many people's needs and budgets. Enter the Fujifilm 8mm f/3.5 prime.
In addition to the new X-S20 mirrorless camera, Fujifilm has expanded its X Series lens lineup with the new XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR ultra-wide angle prime lens.
Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR lens, an ultra-wide angle lens designed for content creators and vloggers. The lightweight lens is the widest Nikkor Z DX-format lens yet.
Venus Optics has announced the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D LM lens for Leica M mount users. The manual focus lens includes rangefinder coupling and promises excellent results for landscape, architecture, interior, street, and astrophotography.
The RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM is a brand new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens from Canon. Its impressive range of 14mm all the way to 35mm with a constant f/4 aperture in an L-series full-frame lens is a big deal, and we haven’t even gotten started.
Tamron has announced the 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD variable wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-Mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Tamron says that it is the world's first ultra-wide-angle zoom lens in its class to feature a consistent f/2.8 aperture.
The NiSi 15mm f/4 lens was announced in early January and photographer Ted Forbes got his hands on one to see how the company's first lens performed. In short, it's a promising start for the company that is new to lens design, but it has a few niggling issues to keep in mind even at its low price.
Lomography has launched its Kickstarter for the Atoll Ultra-Wide 17mm f/2.8 Art Lens for Nikon Z, Canon RF, Sony E, and Leica M-mount. The fully manual lens makes many lofty promises for its $550 asking price.
NiSi, a Chinese manufacturer known mostly for making high-quality filters, has announced its first still-camera lens: the 15mm f/4. It features a 112-degree field of view and the promise of edge-to-edge sharpness for multiple mirrorless mounts.
Everyone that knows me knows that I love shooting with extreme wide-angle lenses. When I had just gotten the original a7 and no native (fast) wide-angle lenses were available yet, I was always shooting with the Samyang 14mm.
'Ultra-wide angle' and 'minimal distortion' are not terms you typically see together. But that's what lens manufacturer Irix is claiming with their new ultra-wide 11mm f/4 rectilinear lens for full-frame Canon, Nikon, and Pentax DSLRs.
A high-quality, tiny, ultra-wide angle lens with almost zero distortion... that's what Venus is promising with the full-frame Laowa 12mm f/2.8 ZERO-D. And they've already raised over a quarter of a million dollars from people who believe they will deliver.
