7Artisans AF 135mm f/1.8 Lens Coming Soon for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L Mount

7Artisans is preparing to announce a new AF 135mm f/1.8 full-frame prime lens at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan. The lens will be available in Sony E-mount, Nikon Z mount, and Leica L mount.

7Artisans AF 135mm f/1.8 Lens

The 7Artisans 135mm f/1.8 AF combines a classic portrait focal length with a fast f/1.8 aperture, delivering shallow depth of field and a natural compression effect that makes it ideal for portrait photography. The lens features a relatively short minimum focusing distance of 0.68m for a 135mm lens, allowing for tighter compositions and close-up detail shots.

The lens includes a physical aperture ring for intuitive exposure control, an AF/MF switch for quick focus mode changes, and a customizable function button that can be assigned to various camera functions. It appears to share a similar optical design with the well-regarded Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens (B&H), which currently retails for $899.
