Lens and lens adapter manufacturer Kipon has announced a new series of lenses for the latest Canon and Nikon full-frame mirrorless cameras.
 |
The Elegant series, as it’s called, consists of five prime lenses in the following focal lengths and apertures: 24mm F2.4, 35mm F2.4, 50mm F2.4, 75mm F2.4 and 90mm F2.4. Each lens comes in both Nikon Z and Canon RF mount options and is entirely manual. The lenses features a focus ring, a physical aperture dial, and focus guide markings. The exact optical construction of each lens remains unknown, as the press release is vague and short on details.

The lenses will be available by the end of December 2018 with the following pricing:
• 24mm F2.4 — $ 499 USD
• 35mm F2.4 — $ 468 USD
• 50mm F2.4 — $ 325 USD
• 75mm F2.4 — $ 355 USD
• 90mm F2.4 — $ 386 USD
Although not currently available for purchase, the lenses will be listed on Kipon’s Adorama and eBay shop when they become hit shelves later this month.
Update (12/10/2018 247pm EST): As pointed out by diligent readers, these five lenses are effectively rebranded and re-mounted versions of the IBE-Optics HandeVision IBERIT 24, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm f/2.4 lenses available for Fujifilm X, Leica L, Leica M and Sony E mounts.
