There is a new ME20F-SH review at Explora BH (Click here):

While it isn’t necessarily meant to be an “A” camera for most productions, I’m sure wildlife and nature documentarians, cave and deep-sea videographers, and astrophotographers in particular, will be champing at the bit to try out the camera. With its ability to capture previously impossible shots, the ME20F-SH could help reinvent the very look and feel of ultra-low-light videography. Exciting times are ahead.

Fuji X-E2s is coming after the X-PRO2

Fujirumors reports the X-E2s is coming for sure. Their sources do not mention when the camera will be announced. I just guess that it will happen at the same time or shortly after the X-PRO2 announcement of January 15.

There is yet also no clue about the possible specs of the camera. But the “s” addition makes it surely appear a very minor upgrade to the current version.

Sigma announces a new kind of water-repellent and scratch resistant Ceramic Glass filter

Sigma launched a new water-repellent and scratch resistant Ceramic Glass filter. This is the official press text:

Interchangeable lenses are the most important element of photographic expression, and to the photographer they are a valuable personal asset. To help photographers continue to use for many years the lens systems in which they have invested their time, knowledge, and budgets, SIGMA has developed original lens filters that meet the company’s high standards of excellence. In developing its new protective lens filter, SIGMA has leveraged an unprecedented cooperative relationship with a glass manufacturer, resulting in a completely new type of glass called Clear Glass Ceramic. Featuring this advanced material, the SIGMA WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR is a highly reliable filter with outstanding protective capability.

With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramic is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramic. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramic the ideal material for protective lens filters.
