No existing 300mm tele prime lens goes beyond the f/2.8 aperture. But Canon is playing with the idea to break that barrier and patented a 300mm f/2.3 lens. The overall length of that lens would be close to 18cm (not bad) thanks to the Reflex. The trade off is surely a image quality drop compared to classic designed lenses. Still, I hope they will really make this lens!

Fujirumors reports that Fuji’x next camera will be the new Fujifilm X-S20. No specs have yet been rumored..

Digicameinfo said the next new Sony lens will be a 50mm f/1.4 GM. Not that we really needed another 50mm lens in the E-mount range. But you got to understand their current Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 option is very “old” and it needed to get a decent update!
