Rollei lenses for mirrorless system cameras are actually nothing new. Until now, however, the company has relied on a co-operation with the manufacturer Viltrox. With the AF 85 mm F/1.8, Rollei is now presenting its first own lens for system cameras. And this is only the beginning, as the new VAF series is to be expanded step by step in the future...

  • PositiveIdeal fixed focal length (not only) for portraits with very pronounced and harmonious bokeh thanks to the large aperture.
  • NegativeIf you focus manually, you have to check very carefully where to focus at f/1.8 - you should also keep an eye on the autofocus.

The new portrait focal length from Rollei produces images with a real character of their own and a high recognition value. The bokeh at open aperture is perfect without compromising on resolution. We are looking forward to this first addition to the family soon!
