Meike AF 65mm f/1.8 or f/1.7 and Meike AF 110mm f/2 Expected For GFX


Meike released the Meike AF 85mm f/1.8 is asia last month, and now there is a report of them working on a Meike AF 65mm f/1.8 or f/1.7 and a Meike AF 110mm f/2 on weibo. This is good news for GFX fans, especially if we start to see these lenses globally. I hope we see a lot more of these AF lenses for GFX in the not-too-distant future to help bring glass prices down for GFX.

7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 Coming Soon

It looks like 7Artisans is getting ready to launch the 7Artisans LITE AF 18mm f/2 since they are looking for reviewers on weibo for Sony E-mount. The Lite series of lenses launched on Sony E-mount first, while being tested on Fujifilm X-mount at the end of last year, and the lenses launched for X-mount at the beginning of this year, so the new lens should be out for X-mount within a couple of months.

OL: Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Silver Review – Re-Review


Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 XFB&H Photo / Amazon

Optical Limits published its full review of the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 a while ago, but they decided to retest the lens in silver and the results are bettter than previously so you can read an excerpt below or the full review here.

At least on 26-megapixel sensors, the sharpness is perfectly fine from f/2.8. At f/1.7, it’s quite usable at least. A 40-megapixel sensor is more challenging, but this applies to most lenses really. Image distortions are on a low level, albeit a bit wavy. The vignetting is a bit on the high side which doesn’t come as a surprise given the compact size of the lens. Sun stars aren’t a big strength…

Pros

  1. Amazing value
  2. Sharp
  3. Compact and lightweight

Cons

  1. High vignetting
