Official announcement will happen by end of 2023!

On October 5 at 9am London time Sigma will announce a new product. And I was the first to tell you ahead of time that we are likely getting a new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens for both Sony E and Leica L-mount ;) Below you can find the Japanese youtube teaser:

I bet this is the new 135mm f/1.8 and you?

Over a year ago Leica posted this cool Easter egg image teasing a new mirrorless medium format camera. Phototrend now got an official confirmation from Leica that the medium format camera will be mirrorless. Phototrend also writes that the this camera will “retain the S-mount and remain compatible with SLR lenses”. I am surprised it keeps the S-mount. I would have expected it to have a new mount with shorter flange distance and just add a free adapter for S-mount lenses!

The TTartisan CEo talked to Richard Wong and was very open about their future roadmap. There will be new 35mm and 55mm f/1.8 FF autofocus lenses, new MFT autofocus lenses…but what’s a lot more intriguing is that they are working on a new CAMERA too! I would love to know what mount they will sues as I suspect they will not launch new mount.

A source (Thanks!) sent me this info about the DJI mini 4 PRO. The drone will be announced on September 25 at around 15:00 London time.

Thanks A.!

Two new rumors to report:

• Samyang might soon announce a new 16-35mm FE lens (and maybe L-mount version coming later?)
• Nikon ZF confirmed to be announced on September 20 at 5-6am London time.
