Norderstedt, 04.11.2024. Together with Viltrox, Rollei introduces the new AF 135 mm F/1.8 LAB FE lens, a groundbreaking lens for Sony cameras. This premium lens sets new standards for demanding photographers and offers outstanding quality for creative and professional applications.

With a fixed focal length of 135 millimeters and a fast F/1.8 aperture, the lens was specially developed for professional portraits and creative photo projects. Photographers can achieve razor-sharp results with exceptional detail, while the background blurs into a soft bokeh – ideal for expressive portraits and creative compositions. This focal length is a preferred choice among portrait photographers, as it offers balanced compression and a natural perspective. The Viltrox AF 135 mm F/1.8 LAB FE enables razor-sharp images that focus on the subject, while the background blurs softly and stylishly when desired.

The F/1.8 aperture allows working even in difficult lighting conditions without losing image quality. At the same time, it creates a shallow depth of field and a creamy bokeh that enhances photographic aesthetics and perfectly isolates the subject. As part of Viltrox's premium LAB series, which stands out for its highest optical and mechanical quality and is developed for professional users, this lens offers outstanding performance that meets even the highest demands.

Compatible with Sony full-frame cameras, the lens is suitable for both studio shots and outdoor shoots and delivers impressive results in all conditions. With its high-quality craftsmanship and the use of first-class materials, the lens is designed for durability and maximum performance. The built-in VCM autofocus (Voice Coil Motor) ensures silent and precise focusing – for both photos and video recordings. Firmware updates can be easily installed via an integrated USB-C port or the "Viltrox Lens" smartphone app for Android and iOS.

The new product can now be pre-ordered from the Rollei online shop at www.rollei.de/viltrox for 1,199 Euros (RRP). Delivery is expected to begin on November 7, 2024.
