I received the first test report of the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens. I was told we shall get some more “official” news about this lens soon. In the meantime I can share this:
- Lens MTF at f/2.8 shows that at least at 70mm and 180mm the lens is sharper than the Sony GM 70-200
- VXD motor is incredibly fast and is able to focus across its focusing range almost instantly
The lens tested was close to final production version. If confirmed this is indeed great news. Now let’s hope Tamron will share full pricing and shipment start info next week…
Nikon closes in on Sony by adding Animal eye AF via firmware update
Today Nikon issued a new firmware update for their Z cameras. It adds Animal Eye AF feature like you have on the Sony’s. This was one of the few remaining advantages in Sony’s autofocus system. Seems like Nikon Canon and Fuji are quickly catching up.
I hope Sony pulls out a new rabbit from their R&D hut :)

RUMOR: Coronavirus outbreak is affecting all camera and lens manufacturers
A couple of company and store managers told me that more or less ALL camera and lens manufacturers are affected by the coronavirus outbreak. While some cameras and lenses might be assembled in Japan or Vietnam there are always parts coming from China. And this will be the bottleneck int he production.
What exactly the effects will be are now impossible to tell. We have to hope for the people’s sake that this outbreak will be contained soon. And only after that companies will know how many months of production delay they will have to expect.
