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?

Samyang 85mm f/1.4 FE test by Lenstip: “grateful to independent producers for their good quality lenses”

Share

Samyang 85mm FE lens at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon. Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.

Lenstip tested the new Samyang 85mm f/1.4 FE lens and liked it a lot:

I think we don’t even have to write a very lengthy summary in this case. If a lens of an independent producer three times cheaper than its well-done brand name rival fares in most categories better than the said brand name lens, you really don’t have to be verbose. 

We should be grateful to independent producers for their good quality lenses which are sold at normal prices. While developing new systems, brand name manufacturers are climbing new heights of absurdity with pricing new lenses launched on the market…

And now a funny side story:

Somebody in China modified the new Samyang lens in a way that it looks close to the Sony 85mm GM lens :)

Links to all Samyang/Rokinon FF E-mount AF lenses:
14mm f/2.8 at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon. Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.
