Leica’s chairman Dr. Andreas Kaufmann confirmed the company is once again developing its own image sensor. After using AMS sensors through the M10 and switching to Sony sensors for the M11 generation, Leica appears set to return to an in-house solution—a process that typically takes around five years and is reportedly already well underway.

Airusan launched their new 512GB VPG400 Type A card on Amazon (Click here). Their previous generation cards have not been officially tested and approved by the CF association. So I don’t know if this card really meets the VPG400 standard. If they keep their promise, this would be the most affordable VPG400 Type A card on the market.
SG-image made it clear on this teaser the 35mm f/2.2 pancake FE lens is coming soon. Still no info about pricing tough. SG-images are usually found on Amazon and Aliexpress.

I ordered a new Sony 16–35 f/2.8 GM II on Amazon (possibly a bad decision), and the box arrived pretty beat up, like a raccoon went at it. The lens itself looks new and in good condition, but it didn’t come wrapped in bubble wrap. Some lenses I’ve bought in the past did, so I’m unsure whether this box had been opened before.
Can anyone confirm whether these lenses normally ship with bubble wrap inside the box when new?
Would you send it back just for peace of mind?
I think it’s ok to keep it…and you?
