New MF Lenses
New MF Lenses You Can Buy
For anyone anxious about used-lens variation, fungus, or haze. We've hand-picked, by brand, manual-focus lenses that mount directly on your camera (no adapter), new and warrantied. Focus and aperture are manual, but on mirrorless, magnified view and peaking make focusing easier than you'd expect.
Choosing a mount: Pick the version for your camera's mount, and it attaches directly, no adapter needed. Unlike vintage lenses, these native lenses generally can't be moved to other mirrorless mounts (the flange distances are too close, and APS-C lenses don't cover full-frame). Be sure to pick your camera's mount when buying.
