If this ever will become a real product I swear I will run naked on the street :)

Nikon patented a 35-50mm f/1.2 and 50-70mm f/1.2 lens! I guess they are only doing this for fun, just to show off what could be technically possible but still financially crazy. Below you can find the schematics and exact specs mentioned by the Japanese patent:

Focal length: 35.00-51.60
F value: 1.23
Angle of view: 72.14-46.70
Image height: 21.70
Overall length: 210.04-168.19
Back focus: 17.77-25.82

Focal length: 51.60-70.00
F value: 1.23
Angle of view: 48.78-34.53
Image height: 21.70
Overall length: 210.03-169.53
Back focus: 18.93-26.72

Starting from today you can preorder the new 60mm T2.9 1.33X Anamorphic lens with 1.35X Anamorphic Adapter on Kickstarter (Click here). Here is the review from Matti Sulanto:

Today we also got two Nikon news:

1. We got the new 18-140mm DX lens (info here at BH).
2. And after a couple of hours Nikon Japan unveiled the second teaser ahead of the Z9 launch:

This week Apple (Macrumors), Audi (Automobilwoche), Sony (Press here) and a lot of other companies announced their products will have considerable shipments delay because of the shortage in chips.

This means that not only you will have issues finding current cameras in Stock (like the Sony A1 for example) but also that future new cameras like the A7IV, GH6, Z9 and so forth might be hard to get the first months after their announcement.

The situation is expected to improve only by late 2022 :(

You can preorder the new Lumix BS1H Cinema Camera at BHphoto and Adorama.

Hands-on reports can be read at Explora and Dpreview.
