Third-party lens companies flood CP+ with new lens announcements

Third-party lens companies flood CP+ with new lens announcements
ÔÎÒÎ: dpreview.com

Photo: studiocasper/E+ via Getty Images The first day of CP+ has come to a close, and while there were relatively few big announcements from major brands today, third-party lens manufacturers stepped up to fill the void.

We already shared that Viltrox announced four new lenses and a Z-mount version of its AF 135mm F1. 8 LAB lens. TTArtisan also revealed a retro-looking instant camera. On top of all that, though, Laowa, 7Artisans and Samyang all unveiled new lens offerings.

Details for the new Laowa, 7Artisans and Samyang lenses were essentially non-existent beyond the lens names. Laowa even went so far as to say this is just a sneak peek of what's coming. The lenses apparently are on display at CP+, so we hope to gather more information in the coming days. For now, though, here's what we know.

According to its Instagram page, Laowa is announcing four new lenses. Those include the Ultima 12-120mm, 35mm F2. 8 Tilt-Shift, 15mm F4. 5 Wide Angle Macro, 8-15mm Fish Eye and Proteus Zoom. Of all those, we've only been able to find information on the first. A B&H listing for the Ultima 12-120mm T4. 0 reveals that it is designed for Arri PL mount with coverage for Super35 sensors. It offers a 10x zoom range, a nine-blade iris, and cine-standard gearing. The B&H page only says Coming Soon, though, with no price or date listed.

7Artistans will also soon offer four new lenses. Its Instagram page mentions the AF 25mm F1. 8 (APS-C), AF 35mm F1. 8 (APS-C), AF 50mm F1. 8 (APS-C) and AF 35mm F1. 8 (full-frame). However, it didn't specify mounts or any other details.

Finally, Samyang isn't left out of all the fun, either. Photos from the event show a 14-24mm F2. 8 full-frame E-mount lens that bears the branding of both Schneider Kreuznach and Samyang. According to a sign detailing the lens, it's the world's first 14-24mm for E-mount that allows for front filters. The Nikkor Z 14-24mm F2. 8 S accepts front filters but only via the hood. It appears that this Samyang lens features a filter thread on the lens itself. It supposedly offers a minimum focusing distance of 0. 18m (7") and weighs just 445g (15. 7oz).
