Shawn C. Steiner tested the new Sony 135mm f/1.8 GM lens: “Beautiful Bokeh and Tack sharp”

Share

Shawn C. Steiner published the full 135mm GM lens review:

Sharp glass with beautiful, smooth shifts into the out-of-focus areas are ideal. Classic bokeh lenses used to have to sacrifice some sharpness to get that creamy look. Examples would be the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. and the more recent Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM.
All of these characteristics, combined, result in what I think is the absolute best portrait prime in Sony’s lineup. It’s also, unfortunately, priced accordingly. If you are a professional photographer who shoots portraits or weddings, I think this is one of those lenses that could easily become a staple in your bag.

Preorders: Sony 135mm GM at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and FocusCamera. EU at ParkCameras, WexUK and Calumet DE.

There is one lens in Stoock right now at Amazon.com and ABT.com:

Elementary: Sony confirms one more time new A7s camera is in development…

Share

Also Sony China confirmed in this interview that a new A7s camera is in development. Sony already did say in the past that the A7sIII “will exceed expectations” their customers with features that are unexpected…

If what I am receiving is true this fall we should finally have the new A7sIII in our hands. And the main reason of the delays seems to be the fact that the A7sIII will use a new Sony codec which is still in final testing.

(SR4) Sony goes Full Monty: Three new E-mount cameras to be announced very soon!

Share

 

Exactly a year ago Nikon, Canon and Panasonic launched their first Full Frame Mirrorless cameras to compete with Sony. It was weird that Sony did not react to those announcements immediately. No new products at Photokina and no new FF E-mount camera for a whole year until the recently announced A7rIV.

Well, a year after Sony is finally ready to launch a total of three new E-mount cameras in August/September!

Nokishita reports

Sony has new product pages that are currently “locked” for three models of interchangeable lens cameras, it seems that there is a possibility that all three models are interchangeable lenses cameras.

Our sources told us that Sony will have a first BIG press event the last week of August. With two new cameras to be unveiled to the press. I also heard about another announcement in September/October.

It’s unclear yet what Sony could announce. But hot candidates are the A6700, A7sIII and A9II…unless Sony wants to surprise us like they did with the A7rIV launch….in that case…what could it be?
