The possible three next Sony FE lenses: 16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss 90mm Sony G macro

Well, we don’t know yet what the exact upcoming FE lens specs will be. The roadmap only says the next three will be a wide angle zoom from Zeiss, a fast prime from Zeiss and a Sony G macro lens. People over at Kakaku claim to have got “unofficial” words from Sony managers that these are the exact specs of the three lenses:

16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss
35mm f/1.4 Zeiss
90mm Sony G macro

The lenses could be announced in Spring. All we know for sure is that Sony scheduled a new press release in late March. 4K cameras coming for sure but they could also announce some new FE lens too!

 

HastaLosMegapixels: Only 3% of the World Press Photo winner pictures have been taken with a Mirroless camera!

Hastalosmegapixeles (Click here) checked the full World Press Photo winner list and noticed that about 90% of the pictures have been taken with DSLR cameras. Only 3% with Mirrorless, and 7% with rangefinder or film cameras.

There is still a long way to go for Mirrorless System Cameras before they become as popular as DSLR. But the first goal has been achieved already: On a pure tech level cameras like the Fuji X-T1 and Olympus E-M1 are on par with the best APS-C DSLR cameras.

Fuji managers says: Focus on APS-C now, but in future we could go Full Frame.

Fuji manager Toshihisa Iida has been interviewed by the Dpreview team. And these are the interesting things he mentioned:

– X-T1 preorders are twice as high as expected

– Focus is on high end market. Low end market is only important in Asia.

– Mirrorless camera share (all manufacturers) is 40% in Japan, 25% in Asia and 10% in US and Europe

– X-E2 firmware upgrade will improve the refresh rate of the EVF

– At the moment we focus on APS-C but we don’t rule out the possibility to use larger sensor in future.
