14hours left to gran the new Roller Pro Carry-On Luggage by Peak Design that raised 12+ million dollars on Kickstarter (Click here).

The companies Vexcel and Ximea have just announced their new industrial camera using the new Sony 247mp medium format sensor. Don’t think we are going to see that sensor in a more classic camera for photographers.

Sony lenses keep “disappearing” from BHphoto. Now we have three lenses that are no more available for reorder:

• 40mm f/2.5 G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 28-60mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-300mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 24-240mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-350mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/2.8 macro -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 12-24mm G FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-200mm G FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 135mm f/1.8 GM -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/2.5 FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 400-800mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 10-20mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 11mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 15mm f/1.5 G E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 16-55mm G E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 18-105mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 18-135mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 24mm f/2.8 G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 30mm f/3.5 macro -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 35mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon

UPDATE: Also Adorama marked some lenses as “closeout”:

• 70-300mm
• 12-24mm
• 24-240mm
• 16-55mm
• 70-200mm G II

Again also those lenses are manufactured in China. The pattern is clear…

I would strongly suggest to order the lenses you need now before you these are gone: Here are the links to the E-mount lenses at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto.

There is a firmware update also for the eight year old Sony A7rIII (firmware page here). Here are the improvements:

• Allows the camera to display a notification when new software is available
• WPA and WEP functionalities are no longer supported. You will no longer be able to select WPA or WEP when connecting to Wi-Fi. Please use the more secure WPA2 moving forward
• Improves the operational stability of the camera
  Note: This update is only available for Windows and macOS. A memory card version is not provided.

Nice to see Sony updating an old model! We want to see more of that :)

UPDATE: Also theses cameras got a firmware update: ZV-E10 (firmware here), A7rIV (firmware here), A7c (firmware here) and A7III (firmware here)

Here are some youtube reviews:

A new Sony lens patent has been published yesterday (Source Asobinet). it discloses the design of five GM lenses:

• 400mm f/2.8 (available at Amazon, BHphoto)
• 400mm f/4.0 (more affordable version of the existing f/2.8 GM)
• 500mm f/4.0
• 600mm f/4.0  (available at Amazon, BHphoto)
• 800mm f/5.6

A patent is not proof that Sony will actually mass produce these lenses. But it definitely shows that Sony is thinking about making them. I would be happy if Sony would produce an 800mm f/5.6 and you?
