Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 RXD lens announcement June 11
Dear Tamron product users and potential purchasers,
Thank you for choosing Tamron products.
We would like to announce that we found the performance of the floating system which corrects the field curvature may be insufficient (*) in a part of our 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056) products for SONY mirrorless cameras.
For affected products, we will inspect them and either readjust or exchange them.
How to check affected products To confirm if your product is one of those affected, please click the Check Serial Number button below and enter the serial number of your lens. If your lens is affected, please follow the instructions provided. If your lens is not affected, you may continue to use it without concern.

We sincerely apologize to all users and potential purchasers for any inconvenience this issue may cause. We appreciate your continued support for our products.
(*) Supplement of the issue Model A056 achieves a high optical performance utilizing the aberration correction by the floating system. By optimizing the value for each lens, we can achieve the maximum effectiveness. We found that some lenses have already been shipped out without the value being optimized.
The Japanese site Fujiablog posted the first review of the new Voigtlander NOKTON 35mm f/1.2 Aspherical SE Sony E lens. On their website you can find many image samples. Here is their google translated conclusion:
Voigtlander NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical SE Sony E was a very fun lens to use with its unique and wide range of expressions. The unique bokeh, combined with the extremely bright f-value of f1.2, was very attractive.
When I used the same M-mount lens, I had the impression that it had a slight purple fringe, but this time it didn’t happen because of the optimization for the Sony mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera.
The characteristic of the image changes when the lens is fully opened and when the aperture is stopped down, and I think that the joy of taking the lens according to the image can be enjoyed and the joy of using it doubled.
There lens is not available for preorder on BHphoto.
