Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB Z-mount lens to be announced ahead of CP+ show

According to leaked information on Weibo, VILTROX’s full-frame AF lens “AF 35mm F1.2 LAB” is scheduled to be announced at CP+ in February 2025. Here are some additional info:

  • This lens is VILTROX’s first full-frame compatible F1.2 large aperture autofocus lens, and is expected to be available in both Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount.
  • The lens body is expected to be lighter than the Nikon Z 35mm F1.2 S, and the expected price will be just a quarter of the price of the Nikon Z 35mm F1.2 (so around $700).

Nikon 35mm f/1.2 Z to be announced in February?

I got a tip from a trusted source that a new Nikon 35mm f/1.2 Z might be announced in a couple of weeks. This lens was rumored (by others) to be coming already last year but those rumors were plain wrong. But finally it’s coming 🙂

The sources did yet not get any details about other products so it seems this is maybe all we will get at the CP+ show this year!

P.S.: The lens was shows on the official Nikon lens roadmap a couple of years ago:
