On Rednote I found this image of the new Yongnuo 50mm lens (on the left) with VCM focus motor. It has the same size of the current 50mm lens (right on the image) but obvisouly much improved AF performance.

Apple announced the 2nd Generation AirTag you can buy now on Amazon (Click here). Precision Finding works from 1.5x further away than before and the speaker is 50% louder. This makes it easier to find lost or stolen equipment.. I track all my camera gear and my kids (LOL).

This AI generated transparent Sony camera has been generated using AI by a Rednote user. I think this looks actually cool. Keep in mind that some companies like Nothing has built its entire brand identity around transparency.

Sony Japan has launched their official CP+ event page. The curiosity here is that they did not list the Sony A7sIII, A7cR and A6700. Don’t think we should interpret this as a sign the A7sIV, A6900 and A7cRII launch is close. It’s near certain that Sony will NOT announce a new camera in February. We are getting one or all of these lenses by end of February:

• 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
• 100-50mm G (don’t know if aperture is f/5.6-8.0)
• 16-28mm f/2.0 GM
