Sony has at least two GM lenses coming soon: 300mm f/2.8 GM and a new fast wide angle GM

Oh dear frustrated Sony folks. If you were hoping this was a rumor about the A7sII successor well hold your breath :)

All we got so far is some rumors about lenses that might be announced the upcoming months:

– 300mm f/2.8 GM
– Fast wide angle GM

Sony has registered a new camera code in Asia but again, this isn’t going to be an A7sIII for sure as the 2.4Ghz Wifi specs suggest this might be a new RX or entry level E-mount camera. My bet is on the RX10V.

So when are we going to get the A7sIII? I did cut the belly of my cat and used the intestine to read the future: It clear said that you should have already bought the SH1 instead of waiting like dumbasses :)

New Topaz Denoise AI released

TopazLabs announced the new DeNoise AI software. And you pay $50 only if you use the checkout code “BATCH15“. If you click on the image on top and scroll down on their website you can see how their Denoise AI software works on Lightroom, Capture One and DxO.

The new version has two new features:

  • New batch processing capabilities
  • New Chroma Noise Reduction slider

Chroma noise is easily recognized as those pesky color specks appearing across your photo. The Chroma slider allows you to target and remove this specific type of noise.

In general DeNoise AI examines the whole image and holistically determines the difference between detail and noise in that photo. (Other NR tools only look at pixel-level detail.) After understanding what noise vs. detail looks like for that specific image, DeNoise AI recovers a surprising amount of detail from noise.

Here is the official intro video:

The best news of today: Fuji finally made a 65mm f/1.3 (FF equivalent) fast lens for medium format!

My personal favorite news of today’s announcement is the fact we will finally get a super fast lens for the medium format system. The new 80mm f/1.7 is equivalent to “63.2mm f/1.34” in Full Frame. And it’s actually NOT a big lens. Here is is compared with the 23mm f/4.0:

And here it is compared with other fast Full Frame lenses:

Now, the bad news is that the lens will be available in 2021 only. No listen to me dear Fuji managers: I am willing to jump into your GF system if in 2021 you will launch me exactly this prototype you showed us last year:

Yes, a medium format X-T styled camera for $5,000. That’s what I want! And believe me this would kick all current FF cameras in their butt :)
