Dear Sony readers you will be amazed to learnt hat you will get a total of three new 85mm FE lenes this month :)
First lens: Samyang 85mm f/1.4 autofocus FE (image leaked here)
Second lens: Meike 85mm f/1.8 manual focus DE (listed at Amazon here)
Third lens: Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus FE (rumor here).
I think we will have enough new 85mm lenses for the upcoming 5-6 years :)
Fujirumors reports that the new X-PRO 3 will definitely be announced in 2019. There are no rumored specs yet but I expect this to be a sort of X-T3 in rangefinder styled body :)
But before the X-PRO 3 we will get the new GFX100 which will be released in 2-3 months from now!
All specs and info on BHphoto, FocusCamera and Adorama. Looks like it uses the same Panasonic S1R sensor…
Fujirumors reports the two new GF 50mm and XF 16-80mm lenses will be on market this fall. And they also spotted the pricing of the 33mm f/1.0 on a Czech store:
$3,100! Damn!
Nikon on the other hand confirmed the 58mm f/0,95 lens will be released within 2019 but gave no specific timing and no pricing details.
Japanese companies shipped -25,3% compared to January 2018. There is a two digit drop for both DSLR and Mirrorless saless too. And this is particularly worrieng because Nikon and Canon’s new camera launches may could have stopped the trend but this was not the case.
What you see on the image on top is a unique OM-D BrassEdition prototype. Olympus has no plan to bring this to the market. What’s really on their roadmap is the new E-M5III. They confirmed in an Imaging Resource interview the E-M5III will be launched soon!
