Light Lens Lab's 300mm f/1.9 Apo could be the wildest lens of the year

Light Lens Lab (LLL) has announced that it's developing a 300mm f/1.9 Apo telephoto lens – and yes, it's just as wild as it sounds. Not only does this optical beast promise an incredibly fast aperture at this focal length, but it's also designed to cover the sensors of medium format cameras!

A 300mm lens with an f/1.9 aperture has been nearly unheard of outside military optics or prototype designs. Combine that with apochromatic (Apo) correction – minimizing chromatic aberrations – and you've got something that could be a genuine optical landmark. As shared by trusted site Photo Rumors, LLL is working hard to get this telephoto lens on the market.
