3 weeks ago Sony announced it would have a Cine focused product launch event on April 20. A week after Canon said they would also have such an even on April 20. That was quite an odd move from Canon. But today Sony quietly decided to postpone the event to April 30.

Anyway, most of us couldn’t care less. On both event we will likely get new Cine lenses and Camcorder stuff only. Do not expect to get an A7sIII or a new EOS-R camera :(

In addition, these lenses have excellent close-up ability, which is conducive to the dramatic exaggeration of the picture. And these three lenses all adopt the design of low distortion or even “zero” distortion, which can reduce the correction work in the later period.
