Comments: 8, on the topic: Announcement: 7Artisans AF 85mm F/1.8 FE

  • TSerg

    For Sony, all and sundry rivet lenses. For Canon, after the so-called “revelation” of the bayonet mount, there was no need for the announcement of lenses from third-party cameras)) It’s not for nothing that everyone besides Olegas criticizes Canon.
    Arkady, why is there no announcement of the new Canon flagship Canon R1 on the website? There are already a lot of videos from bloggers on YouTube, some of which are not those that you haven’t touched in your hands or seen in person, incl. y Russian ones. All show clips from the Canon video presentation.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      It was announced yet 15 May 2024. On June 17 it was released for sale.

      • TSerg

        It was an announcement of the development, and not an announcement of the release. As for me, it’s all different speeches. Although I think that at that time the wine had already been tested by some ambassadors of this company, which was not advertised.

  • Anton

    For $190 you can get the Meike 85mm f/1.8. Also full frame and autofocus. What is the qualitative advantage of Artizan over this glass?

    • Somebody

      You can also get Wiltrox 85 f1.8 for 26k. Probably every Chinese manufacturer should make their 85 under Sonya.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        here is a list of all AF 85tok, the Chinese have already made a lot of them, and the Yong 85 1.8 is generally one of the sharpest lenses

        • Andrei

          Please tell me, what do you think, for a full-frame Sony 24-pixel mirrorless camera, which damn 85 should I take, Wiltrox, Wiltrox ll, Yangnow first or second??? Some hate Yangnow, others admire Vidtrox ll and say that it is better than the original Sony 85 1,8. The new Sony 85 now costs not much more than Viltrox ll, but according to reviews of the Sony 85 1,8 it seems to show a lot of chromatic aberration. I had a Nikon 7100 50 1,4D - very huge aberrations, it doesn’t hold back and side light. What am I talking about, but does Sonya 85 1.8 have aberrations, like the fifty dollars described above, or are they intolerable?
          Thanks for the reply.

          • Arkady Shapoval

            There is no correct answer. Viltrox and Yongnow are quite good lenses. Viltrox is treated better
