Tamron issued a firmware update for the 35-150mm FE lens: tamron.com/global/consumer/support/download/firmware/a058/sony_e/. Here are the benefits:

• Improved AF performance during zooming
• With α9 III, when its focus mode is set to AF-S, DMF, or MF, it will support continuous shooting at up to approximately 120 frames per second
  * Update can be done with TAMRON Lens Utility™.

But as noticed by PetaPixel:

While yes, the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is now able to shoot at 120 frames per second on the Sony a9 III, it can only do so in AF-S, DMF, or MF focus drive modes. The lens remains capped at the 15 fps rate when using AF-C, as is typical with third-party lenses used on Sony mirrorless cameras.

Over the past few days, I’ve leaked the full images and specs of the new Zeiss Otus 50 and 85mm f/1.4 lenses. But Zeiss is being very cagey about this and has been having fun backing up the rumors. They just posted this on Instagram:

Cool ;)

The new Zeiss OTUS 50mm and 85mm f/1.4 E-mount lens preorder page is online at BHphoto (Click here). The interesting note is that they write that the rearrangements will start at 8am ET on 25 February.

Hot deal reminder:

For a limited time the OWC Generation 4.0 Type-A 480GB card sells for $159 only at BHphoto and Amazon.

It’s rumored we might get a Sigma 800mm f/6.3 Sony E and Leica L-mount lens…but maybe there something more?
