Neewer announced a new 35mm f/1.2 APS-C manual focusing lens. You can buy the Fuji X version on Amazon US. The E-mount version is not available yet.

Leica has recently announced this new $5,500 SL 16-35mm lens. Well I spotted a new patent application from Konica Minolta which describes the exact same optical design. It’s interesting to see that Leica is selling expensive lenses they have NOT designed. Still, if the lens proves to have superb performance owners shouldn’t be disappointed.

This is a very useful tool to calculate the crop factor calculator for both the focal lenght and aperture. Joe posted this on Reddit:

I recently re-did my website mmcalc.com.

mmCalc is a 35mm lens equivalent and crop factor calculator. Simply input your lenses focal length, the size of your sensor, and what the maximum aperture of your lens is and you’ll get what the lens would be in terms of 35mm full-frame. mmCalc also provides a crop factor calculator that allows you to input the dimensions of your sensor and find out what the exact crop factor is. If you’re unable to calculate for you lens with the pre-defined values, mmCalc also provides a completely customizable calculator that allows you to input your own crop factor, aperture, focal length, and even sensor dimensions.

In addition to standard sensors (m43, aps-c, 1/2.3″, etc), mmCalc also provide calculations for medium and large format sensors. It also has both an Android and iOS app.

Nikon is very actively patenting all sort of lenses for the future Nikon Full frame mirrorless. The design you see here is for a 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens (PCTJP2015086328).

This is the first time i see this Coca Cola Film Camera. This looks like it has been used as a sort of spy camera. Smart :)

Fig.1 is the figure which looked at the mount part of the camera of the first embodiment concerning the present invention from the lens side. As for camera body side mount and 1A, in the figure, 1 is [ a mount lock pin and 3A of the camera body side attachment surface, 1C1, 1C2, and 1C3 ] the camera body side electric connection terminals a camera-body-side-mount nail and 2, respectively. 

Thew new Japanese patent application number 2018-084713 describes what could be the new Canon Full Frame mirrorless mount. Sadly Canon did not share info about the exact mount size. All Canon writes is that it has a “high-speed electrical connection”.
