Viltrox, Laowa, Meike Teasing New Lenses at China P&E 2026

Viltrox is about to have a big week. A tilt-shift lens from a third-party brand at this price tier would be genuinely interesting for architecture and product shooters who can't stomach the Laowa or Canon TS-E asking prices. The L-mount expansion also matters: if Viltrox brings its autofocus lineup across properly, that's real competition for Sigma and Panasonic glass on L-mount bodies. The MFT entry is worth watching too, since that system has been starved of affordable fast primes lately. Nothing confirmed yet, but May 15 is days away.
