7Artisans is rumored to announce a 135mm f1.8 AF lens soon. What makes that lens somehow special is the minimum focusing distance of only 0.63 m. That's very close for a 135mm f1.8. For comparison, the Panasonic 85mm f1.8 has about 0.8 m and is a shorter focal length.

Finally an alternative to the old Sigma

If the price in nice (7-artisan should be), not to heavy and goed IQ, than i'm interested

 

[RuleOfThirds]

If the weight is right…. Keep in mind that the Viltrox z-mount weighs in at 1.2kg+

 

[Nevyn72]

Doesn't look that light - but we wil see soon - but i'm still very interested in the price

The 1.2kg Viltrox in z-mount also has a 82mm front

The Sigma isn't light either. Maybe with the plastic body it will gain some grams

 

[Nevyn72]

The rumors say 985 grams... If true than it would be great

$770 is not bad. Even if it's a bit soft wide open, it could be nice for portraits where you're not trying to get pore-level detail.
