Iconic Russian lens manufacturer Zenit has announced the release of four new full-frame manual prime lenses, two for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and two for Canon EF- and Nikon F-mount DSLRs.

The two Sony E-mount lenses – a 35mm f/2 and a 50mm f/1.5 – are silver and distinctively retro looking, the 50mm (above) in particular looking it has just flown out of a Fifties sci-fi B-movie.
