Viltrox Negotiating to Join Growing L-Mount Alliance [Video]

Chinese lens maker Viltrox is attempting to join the L-Mount Alliance, which would pave the way for the company’s lenses to work on full-frame Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma cameras.

As spotted by L-Rumors, on a recent YouTube video about the new Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens, a YouTube viewer noted there was no mention of an L-Mount version. The excellent and relatively affordable 135mm f/1.8 prime lens is only available for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. However, expecting the lens to venture to other mirrorless mounts at some point is reasonable.

Viltrox replied, “We’re trying to connect and negotiate with Leica for the licensing,” suggesting that L-Mount could be among these other mounts.
