The first new MFT product we should get is the new Olympus 150-400mm lens…what’s after that?

The next new MFT product we shall get is the Olympus 150-400mm lens  in January-February. But what’s coming after that one?

Olympus officially stated that they plan to release at minimum of two new cameras and two new lenses every year. While it’s easy to  guess that  we will have a new E-M1III in 2020 I don’t know  what other MFT cameras we should expect to get in 2020. The PEN-F line has been axed and the E-PL and OMD line was just updated.

Panasonic on the other hand might  announce their new flagship camera in late 2020…the GH6! If it has 8K video it surely would be a stunner!

All this doesn’t sound too bad for a system that has been called “death” so many times in the past years :)

Some lens rumors….

Slow day folks so let me catch up with some lens rumors/news:

LEAKED: This is the new Tokina ATX-M 85mm f/1.8 FE lens! (SonyAlphaRumors).
The Laowa 12mm f/1.8 MFT will likely NOT make it into production (43rumors).
Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 launch Postponed to Next Year (Fujirumors).

Tamron will announce up to six E-mount lenses in 2020?

Tamron is fully committed to the E-mount system. And that’s certainly a good news for Alpha shooters and not so good news for the expensive Sony made lenses :)

Here are  two rumors:

1) SAR confirmed the Tamron 70-180mm FE lens will ship out in Spring.
2) Tamron will announce up to six more FE lenses in  2020. Most of them will be pancake f/2.8 lenses and zooms. All affordable but still high quality glass!

And I bet Sigma will release a large number of new E-mount lenses too..

And here comes the next Canon EOS-R high rez camera specs rumors…

Sooner or later that long rumored High Resolution EOS-R camera will be released. We still got no solid info but here is the next bunch of specs floating on the web today:

  • 75mp full-frame CMOS
  • Sensor “focused on the dynamic range”
  • Frames per second “… Sounded similar to the EOS R”
  • DIGIC 9
  • Dual Card Slots
  • Joystick the same as the EOS-1D X Mark III
  • Larger and higher resolution EVF than the EOS R
  • Fully articulating LCD screen
  • Fully weather-sealed
  • Similar ergonomics as the EOS R (No touch bar)
