In addition to the new Thypoch lenses for Z-mount, here is a quick update on other upcoming third-party Z lenses:
Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount: expected in late April.
Yongnuo AF 33mm f/1.4 APS-C autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount: expected on April 18.
Meike AF 33mm f/1.4 APS-C autofocus lens for Z/X/E mount: coming soon (minimum shooting distance: 0.4m, 55mm filter size).
7Artisans AF 27mm f/2.8 autofocus APS-C lens: the E-mount version is expected in late April, the Z-mount will come later.
Here is an incomplete list of recently launched/upcoming Chinese autofocus lenses:
Thypoch already makes several manual focus lenses for Leica M-mount and the company is expected/rumored to announce new lenses also for Nikon Z-mount. Thypoch currently has the 28mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 M lenses and they will soon announce a new 50mm f/2 – these are probably going to be also the first lenses for Z-mount.
At the 2024 NAB show that started today, RED is showcasing the all-new V-RAPTOR [X] and V-RAPTOR XL [X] cameras. Both models were recently launched and are the industry’s first large-format cinema cameras featuring a global shutter – additional information is available here.
The new marketing message is also clear – Nikon, MRMC, and RED will be kept as separate brands:
