#lens release

Xingyao Optics has announced its first full-frame autofocus lens, the AF85mm F1.8, with a launch scheduled for January 6, 2025, at 8:00 PM. This is a big deal for the company as it enters the full-frame lens market, after launching its APS-C lens last year. The lens will work with both Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, so it’s great for photographers who use those systems. The AF85mm F1.8 lens comes equipped with Japanese HOYA optical glass, known for its excellent clarity, and features an OPTORUN optical coating for improved light transmission and reduced glare. Xingyao’s first APS-C autofocus lens, the AF50mm F1.4, debuted at 1,399 yuan (~PHP 10,800). This full-frame lens will likely be positioned slightly higher in price, offering a premium option for users seeking improved image quality and compatibility with larger sensors.
