Popular YouTuber Michael The Maven has just launched the new MAVEN Filters – WAVE 3 on Kickstarter (click here). In this 24-minute video, Michael gives a full rundown of all the new filters:

Reminder: You have three days left to grab the Peak Design Pro Tripod on Kickstarter (Click here). It has nearly 5,000 backers and collected nearly 4 million dollars

The pats hours I got some more additional info about the new lens and here are the specs we know:

Sigma 200mm f/2.0:

• weight 1850g without hood and collar
• takes no teleconverter
• 105mm filter size
• White finish and similar look to the 300-600mm lens.
• super fast autofocus (according to sources)
• Full Frame
• For Sony E and Leica L mount
• Announcement August 19, price unknown

At 1850g, it weighs 150g more than the next Laowa 200mm f/2.0. Of course, we don’t know if this is due to Sigma using a more complex and superior optical design.

At about 8:00 a.m. on August 11, 2025, a collision happened around 10.5 nautical miles east of Huangyan Island in the South China Sea. A Chinese Coast Guard ship and a Chinese Navy destroyer were chasing the Philippine Coast Guard’s BRP Suluan when the destroyer made a risky turn. The crash badly damaged the Coast Guard ship’s front, leaving it unable to operate, and the destroyer also got some damage.

All this was recorded by a Sony Alpha Photographer. The still images in this video are shot with what appears to be a Sony A7IV with Sony 200-600mm G lens. Impressive how calm he was while recording everything!

Note: Avoid political discussions…thanks!
