Veydra Announce the 85mm T2.2 M4/3 Mini Prime

By technical editor Matt Allard:

Veydra have unvailed the latest addition to their M4/3 Mini Prime line up. The new 85mm T2.2 lens joins the 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm giving Veydra a complete 6 lens solution for M4/3 shooters.

The 85mm joins the existing 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm.

This from Veydra:
The Veydra Mini Prime 85mm T2.2 is a telephoto focal length for Micro 4/3 cameras. Equivalent to the field of view for a 170mm lens in Full Frame 35mm stills format, this lens is perfect for detail, portrait and longer shots where a tight field of view is required.

Purpose built for cinema acquisition applications, all Veydra lenses feature constant volume focus, 0.8 cinema pitch gears on the iris/focus rings, constant T-Stop, and common front diameter for quick lens changes in a production environment.

All Veydra lenses exceed 4K resolution and are constructed of the finest grade aluminum and optical glass elements with multi-coating for color consistency.
Veydra lenses are designed with quality and value in mind. All Veydra products are priced at the absolute minimum retail price to help you achieve your creative vision.

The lens will not ship until the end of 2015 and will retail for $899 US.
