Budget Japanese optics manufacturer Yasuhara has announced the Anthy 35mm F1. 8 manual lens for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. The Anthy 35mm F1. 8 lens (translated) is constructed of nine elements in seven groups and features a nine-blade aperture diaphragm with an F1.
8 to F16 range. The front filter thread is 52mm, it has a minimum focusing distance of 40cm (15. 75in) and the lens weighs 409g (14. 3oz).
The lens is entirely manual and doesn’t feature electrical contacts, meaning no metadata will be sent to the camera it’s attached to and, if applicable, the ‘release without lens’ setting will need to be turned on.
The lens is set for a fall 2019 release and will be available in Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts. No pricing information has been given at this time. We have contacted Yasuhara and will update this article if we hear back about pricing information.
Below are three full-resolution sample images captured with the lens on a Canon EOS R:

We haven’t heard much about Yasuhara in the past and its lens lineup is rather limited, so we can’t attest to the image quality or durability of its lenses, but the company recently celebrated its seventh year in business. Yasuhara also has Anthy-branded 50mm and 85mm lenses in development (translated).
