SG-image is a relatively young Chinese company that makes affordable lenses for various camera systems. The company's latest lens is a 75mm f/1.2 lens for medium format cameras. Specifically for Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD.
What really makes the lens special is the price. It is expected to cost less than 500 euros. That's a bargain for such a fast medium format lens. At Fujifilm, you pay around 2,200 euros for an 80mm f/1.7, while at Hasselblad you pay as much as 4,788 euros for the 80mm f/1.9.
The SG-image lens does not offer autofocus, and its quality still has to prove itself, of course.
Despite its metal housing, the lens is said to weigh just 642 grams.
The f/1.2 aperture gives you a depth of field on medium format that should be comparable to f/0.95 on full-frame. The 75mm works out at approximately 60mm when converted to full-frame.
The official announcement is expected next week. SG-image gave a first look at the new lens on their Instagram account. Of course, it remains to be seen what the difference in quality will be, but it could be an interesting purchase for medium format photographers.
