TTartisan will launch a new series of lenses called Neo – and the lenses lack both a focus ring and an aperture ring. The brand kicks the series off with a 50mm f/1.8, with an 85mm f/2.8 to follow. Both lenses are autofocus (AF) primes for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount.
The announcement was made on Instagram, and while part of me likes the idea of lenses with minimal functionality to keep costs down, these ringless kits mean that aperture settings can only be adjusted via the camera body, which I’m not a fan of.
