Matt Granger got quite some heat from this video. But I kindly ask to make rational arguments why you agree or disagree with him. Personally I asked some time ago to make a sort of Sony A99 styled E-mount camera. I understand many do NOT need this…but there might be some that need a bigger for the reasons Matt and I did mention in our videos.
So let me know in the comment system what your thoughts are about this!
PGYTECH launched this new card readers case you can buy on their Amazon US&CA&EU page.
Here is a review from David Zhou:
This is one of the weirdest deals ever! You have to do this to get it:
And now it gets crazier….you want a bigger discount? Add 500 cards to the cart and you will pay only $2,5 per card!
Now, I realize those are slow cards. But still, if you have kids and friends that don’t need max speed for their cameras you can make some nice presents for them :)
Photorend interviewed Kota Misawa, Marketing Planning manager in the Imaging Products BU at Tamron.
A couple of key info he shared:
About the Tamron Utility and possible iOS APP:
The Tamron Lens Utility was updated on September 21 last year, improving operability and supporting Z-mount lenses. And we plan to update the app twice this year. New functions will be added.
On the other hand, regarding the version for iOS, we have difficulty doing so. It’s quite difficult to develop.
About the possibility of making fast prime lenses:
For now, we cannot say what our roadmap will be. But if there is strong demand for wide aperture prime lenses from our users, we will definitely look into this topic.
About adding an aperture ring on future lenses:
We believe that whether or not to add the aperture ring depends on the concept of each lens and the target audience. Until now, we have favored compactness and lightness.
But we would like to consider adding one for users who need an aperture ring. It is therefore possible that we will develop this type of objectives in the future.
About video optimized lenses:
Absolutely, we think that suppressing focus breathing , quiet motors and autofocus tracking performance are more important than just focusing speed. And we would like to strengthen these aspects in the future as well, while adapting to the most advanced cases.
As you know the latest financial report disclosed that Tamron wants to launch six new lenses in 2024. But not all of them will be new lenses. Some of them will be Z or X-mount version of current E-mount lenses.

But there will be any more E-mount lenses coming from third party manufacturers too! One of them will be very exciting and I hope to be able to post this rumor soon!
Reminder: When it comes to cameras we will get a new ZV-E10II first, FX camera after that but also some exciting Alphas during the second half of the year ;)
