The Japanese website Hi Lows Note spotted two newly published Nikon lens patents. It describes the design of a 50mm f/0.9 and 35mm f/1.2 lens for a Full Frame mirrorless system camera.

Hasselblad announced the new X1D Field Kit. And this is the press text:
Within the comprehensive package, photographers will find all the equipment they need for a variety of photographic conditions, including the X1D-50c and 3 XCD lenses (30mm, 45mm, and 90mm), which deliver edge-to-edge sharpness in a compact form to elegantly match the slim build of the body.
The inclusion of cleaning equipment (a cleaning cloth, dust blower, and lens pen) ensures that photographers can easily keep their kit in perfect condition, so it’s always clean and ready whenever creativity strikes.

And this is the unboxing by Matt Granger:
Back in 2014 the German company Ibelux launched the 85mm f/0.85 lens. it was designed for all different mirrorless system and it’s actually the world’s fastest lens available for those system. The price ($2,000) was heavy and the sales were not as good as expected. Fujirumors reports that the company will launch a new upgraded version:
Now the Ibelux 40mm f/0.85 MarkII is coming. The red version you can see here is not for sale, but the black one will ship in October. There will be improvements in the mechanical design, a better smoother bokeh, and let’s see what else. Photographers from all over the world are testing the new version right now, and I will feature their reviews here on Fujirumors as soon as they are out. So stay tuned. :)
I hope they will slash the price too!
