I am working to get you the full lens specs and also a leak image of the 16mm G …stay tuned!

On the CP+ show page, the Cosina/Voigtlände event is officially listed for the launch of new lenses. No idea what’s coming, but I own the 40mm f/1.2 and the 50mm f/1.0 FE lens. So I’m very excited to see what else they have in store for us manual focus enthusiasts.

Tamron has announced its annual financial results (January to December 2024). In its new mid-term plan, the company revealed plans to increase the pace of new lens releases from the current 6-7 per year to 10 per year by 2026. In addition, the company will proceed with establishing a sales structure for four mounts (E mount / Z mount / RF mount / X mount).

Sony holds a stake of 14.99% Tamron (Source here). If Tamron is doing well, Sony is also doing well. Tamron had to revise the forecast upwards(!) because they expect more sales than planned:

Now I do hope some the exciting patents will make it into reality:

Sandisk launched a new Creator storage series you can see and preorder at BHphoto. An article about those products can be read on Explora.

If you order the Sony A1II today you are likely to get it in April only according to the latest update posted on Adorama. No US or European store has any A1II in Stock right now:

Sony A1II at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, BestBuy, FotoErhardt, FotoKoch, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton, CameraPro. Sony Australia.

I wonder if the reason for this is high demand (as reported by Sony) or if there is a supply chain issue that is slowing down camera production.
