Viltrox announces it has joined the L-Mount Alliance. This collaboration empowers Viltrox to design L-Mount products that open new creative horizons for both photographers and filmmakers.
Viltrox now stands alongside the alliance’s founding members Leica Camera AG, SIGMA, and Panasonic, as well as Ernst Leitz Wetzlar, DJI, ASTRODESIGN, SAMYANG Optics, Blackmagic Design, and SIRUI.
L-Mount offers flexibility for the future
The L-Mount standard offers flexibility, with a continuously growing portfolio that now includes over 20 cameras and more than 120 lenses. This system allows all lenses to be used on any L-Mount compatible camera without adapters, showcasing the power of a unified system.
Engineered for product diversity, reliability, and performance, the L-Mount’s 51.6mm diameter and short 20mm flange (register) distance enable a more compact design for a wide range of cameras and lenses. Wear-resistant stainless steel construction and a standardized electronic contact strip ensure a robust, stable connection and seamless communication, readying the system for future technological advancements through firmware updates that can enhance performance. The L-Mount standard was first announced at the Photokina event in 2018.
At this time, Viltrox hasn’t stated what lenses they will offer with the L-Mount, whether it will be new models going forward or adopting their current lineup.
