The German brand Rollei announced a new 85mm f/1.8 autofocus full-frame lens for Nikon Z and Sony E cameras.
For now, the new lens is only available for pre-order in Germany (Foto Erhardt). In the US, Rollei products are sold at B&H Photo.
The new Rollei lens appears to be a rebadged Chinese lens. Viltrox, 7arrtisans, and I am sure a few other brands have a similar lens already. The new Rollei 85mm f/1.8 appears to be very similar to the 7artisans 85mm f/1.8 lens. DJ Optical designs all Chinese lenses, they just use different branding for marketing purposes. DJ Optical is a huge state-owned enterprise in China with a very strong optical technology design department and appropriate production lines. They also have military contracts.
