Four New Z-Mount Lenses From Chinese Brands: Songraw, TTArtisan, Viltrox, Sirui
Four Chinese brands are adding to the Z-mount lineup simultaneously. Songraw's AF 85mm f/1.2 'Youth Edition' is machined from aviation-grade aluminum and available via Amazon US. TTArtisan's AF 85mm f/1.8 Neo is a budget-tier addition, announcement imminent. Viltrox is teasing a 26mm f/2.8 EVO pancake for Z mount with no release date yet. Sirui's three new Vision Prime cinema lenses — 15mm T1.6, 75mm T1.4, and 150mm T4 Macro at 1.5x — use interchangeable RF/Z/L mounts without shims and are already open for orders at B&H and Sirui's own store.

Songraw AF 85mm f/1.2 Gets All-Metal 'Youth Edition'
Songraw's existing AF 85mm f/1.2 MS prime now has a Youth Edition variant built entirely from aviation-grade aluminum. The lens itself is unchanged spec-for-spec: 18 elements in 10 groups including an APO element and nano-coating, 13-blade aperture, STM with closed-loop position tracking, eye-recognition AF, and weather sealing. The metal build adds roughly 120g over the plastic version, landing at 870-900g. Songraw lenses are sold via Amazon in the US. Sirui and Songraw are both flagging additional lens announcements for next week.
