There seem to be two threads going now on this lens. I posted this over on the other one:
I wonder why they changed the design of the focus ring for the E-mount, but kept the "traditional" knurled design for the Z-mount?
It's going to be the "ugly duckling" amongst my other CV lenses
The other thread is review thread of VM version of the lens and this one is discussion thread about the upcoming E-mount and Z-mount versions (cross-posted in Sony & Nikon forums).
They have used this new design style for all their new E-mount releases since 2024 (this is the 5th release with this new styling), and it seems they decided to stick with the new styling rather than go for consistency with the existing E-mount APO-Lanthars. I personally like the new styling even better. I have the other APO-Lanthars too and all the new releases they have already put out with this new styling (50/1, 75/1.8, 28/1.5, 75/1.8).
