Anyone working in architectural photography knows the true value of the Canon 17mm TS-E f/4L Tilt-Shift lens.

You can already preorder it via Amazon US&EU and the TTArtisan store.

Key specs:

  • Tilt-Shift Ultra-wide ASPH lens
  • Ultra-large image circle
  • +8° Tilt & ±8mm Shift
  • Metal lens body
  • Clicked aperture ring

As suspected the new Canon R6III will use the same (very good) Canon C50 sensor! Here are the key specs:

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications

  • Effective 34.2mp (Same as the Cinema EOS C50)
  • 32mp for stills
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with multiple subject detections
  • IBIS: 6.5 Stops
  • Pre-capture
  • Max Framerate: 40fps E-Shutter
  • Max ISO: 64000
  • Open Gate
  • Price: €2899
  • Announcement November 6
  • Shipping late November (Tentative)

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM

  • Price: €599
  • Announcement November 6

By comparison, the Sony A7V is expected to be announced around mid-November, likely priced just under $3,000 and featuring either a refined or newly designed 33MP sensor — though unfortunately, still no Open Gate support.

Share

A Vietnamese retailer is so confident in the upcoming Sony A7V that they’ve already started accepting preorders for it! They are asking 66,990,000 ₫ (Vietnamese dong) which is around $2600. As image of the camera they actually used an old rendering I made many months ago :)

Sony A7V specs known so far:

  • A7V has been registered in Indonesia with the code “WW824259”. The camera is manufactured in Thailans
  • Leaked image seems to suggest it has 33Mps sensor (we don’t know if it’s a tweaked A7IV sensor version or a new partially stacked)
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • Same Sony A7rV body design. This means same 4 way fully articulating screen and same controls
  • It does NOT have the Sony A1II/A9III grip design
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement likely in November at earliest with shipment start in January/February

Inside Sigma’s Vision: LensVid Interviews CEO Kazuto Yamaki at IBC 2025

Share

Lensvid sat down with Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki — here are a few key takeaways:

1. 2025 Lens Lineup

  • Nine new autofocus lenses: 200mm f/2, 12mm, 17–40mm, 300–600mm, 135mm f/1.4, 20–200mm, plus two cine zooms (28–105mm, 28–45mm).
  • Small, motivated R&D team of photographer-engineers; long tenures enable efficient development.
  • Market is saturated; innovation is essential for adoption and survival.

2. 135mm f/1.4 Highlights

  • First 135mm f/1.4 AF lens on the market, about 1.4 kg.
  • Challenge: top optical quality while keeping size and weight reasonable.
  • No optical stabilization; relies on camera IBIS which performs well up to ~150–180mm.

3. 20–200mm Zoom

  • Versatile travel range starting at a very wide 20mm; addresses users accustomed to smartphone wide angles.
  • Aim: high optical quality with useful close-focus at some focal lengths.

4. Cine Lenses (Autofocus)

  • Two AF cine zooms (28–105mm and 28–45mm) inaugurate a mirrorless-focused cine line.
  • No immediate plan for cine primes, but strong customer interest may influence future development.
  • May reuse still-lens optics if they satisfy video needs (e.g., minimal focus breathing).

5. AI and Industry Outlook

  • Current AI termed “baby AI”; role will grow but creativity remains human-led.
  • AI creates from existing data; truly new, innovative work still requires human creators and real cameras.

Key Takeaway: Sigma is aggressively innovating with passionate engineers, launching bold optics while keeping human creativity at the core.
