CineD had a chat with Tim Helweg-Larsen, an engineer and camera enthusiast from the UK – who claims to have invented a better (easier) way how to master the manual controls of any digital camera. This is how it works:

UPDATE: Tim just contacted me and shared some more videos and details:

Thanks Tim!

It’s rare to see something truly new in the photography market. Most of the time we see many small evolutions. But this got my attention: In an interview published by Phototrend Fuji said they are working on the fifth generation medium format camera. And this one will be the world’s first Sports camera in this segment.

As you know all medium format sensors are made by Sony. So it will be interesting to see if the new GFX will have a newly designed Sony sensor inside. Maybe a sort of upscaled Sony A1 sensor?

Here are my thoughts on this news:

One of my best contacts was at the 50mm f/1.4 GM launch event organized by Sony. He asked the Sony manager when he can hope to get the rumored 85mm f/1.2. The manager answered it’s coming within the next 3 months.

I don’t know how seriously we can take fro granted the managers answer, but my contact told me that the managers sounded very honest about this. Let’s hope!

You can buy the lens at MeikeGlobal and at Amazon US&CA&EU.
