News New Meike 85mm F/1.4 STM Full-Frame Mirrorless Lens For L L-Mount (also E/Z/RF)

[Quentinquirelino]

Meike just announced the 85mm F/1.4 STM Full-Frame Mirrorless Lens, which will also be available for L-Mount. That makes it the first real third party AF Lens for L-Mount, since Sigma, as a member of L-Mount Alliance, can be considered as first party.

As 85mm are not rare in L-Mount, it is not the most exciting Lens. But maybe it is the first of more to come. Maybe other manufacturers will also consider to make AF Lenses for L-Mount.

Ah I didn't see your post and just made another post about the same news in the Lens forum LOL!

LOL, maybe the admin can combine both threads.

Wow this really is great! If I knew this was coming I'd wait with my purchase of panasonic 85/1.8... Very interesting to see how it will perform optically and also it's interesting to see how it will be handled by DFD.

Certainly very interesting. I wonder why they don't just release the existing 85/1.8 in L-mount?

I don't see anything about when it will be released.

I think the existing 85mm f1.8 is a DSLR lens. It's available for EF-, F- and E-Mount. This one is new for mirrorless cameras.
