New Sigma lens patent. Samyang autofocus lenses soon!

Egami spotted a new Sigma patent for a 28-85mm f/3.5-5.6 lens designed for APS-C and MFT mirrorless cameras. Not really an exciting lens.

Much more interesting is the news hat Samyang will announce on March 21. They will likely introduce their first autofocus lenses and if we are lucky some of them will be designed for mirrorless system cameras!

Fuji’s new 85-300mm fast XF zoom patent!

A brand new Fuji patent (JP2013/004636 published on 02/27/2014) describes a rather spectacular new 85-300mm f/2.7-3.7 XF zoom! It’s terrific fast for such a zoom range!

These could be the characteristics of the “Super Telephoto zoom lens” pictured on the official Fuji roadmap:

Obviously, the real production lens could have slightly different specs than the patented version. But would you buy a lens like that? I guess it will not be cheap! But it will suite fine on your new Fuji X-T1 which by the way keeps selling wonderfully according to Amazon US (click here to see the ranking).

 

 

New Leica system camera has APS-C sensor!

This won’t happen: A Leica branded Panasonic MFT camera :)

The.me confirmed to us that the new Leica system camera will have an APS-C sensor. The camera will be made by Panasonic and Leica will stick their logo on it :)

I can add via my sources that price will be in between $1,500 and $2,000!

 

 

New big Sony announcement in early May! FE lenses to be announced?

We got words from very highly trusted sources that Sony will have a big announcement event in May! While there will be likely one new camera only (An A-mount A77II) there should be also a new FE lens announcement! And if the Sony roadmap is still valid than this should be two new Zeiss lenses: A f/4. ultrawide zoom and a fast prime lens (probably a 85mm f/1.8 or f/1.4).

Sources also told me Sony is pushing the FE lens development. It’s the first priority in their imaging division!
