Photokina announced their show dates for 2018 and 2019. As you probably know Photokina is now taking place on a yearly basis in May. With the next 2018 event being the last taking place in September.
At Dpreview there is an interview with the Photokina manager that explains why we see those changes. What’s clear is that “classic” photography is going to have less of a key role the upcoming years.
Sigma issued a new firmware update (download here) for the MC-11 adapter:
This firmware update corrects the phenomenon that AF does not operate properly when some lenses that are not compatible with the MC-11 are attached. This firmware update does not guarantee accurate operation with lenses that are not compatible with the MC-11.

BHphoto launched the new Back To School deals page (Click here and than click on cameras). There are deals on many Sony cameras too!
Reminder: Macphun released a free public beta of Luminar for Windows you can download here.
We have been told by a source that Tokina’s next FE lenses (a Super Wide and a fast wide FE autofocus lens) will ship in very early 2018 only even if the announcement will be made in late 2017. Tokina firsts wants to have the time to evaluate the sales of the new 20mm f/2.0 FE lens (here at BHphoto).
Reminder: Tokina will also launch a Zoom FE autofocus lens in 2018.

Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
SR1=probably fake rumor
SR2=rumor from unknown sources
SR3=50% chance it is correct
SR4=rumor from known sources
SR5=almost certainly correct!
This is a roundup of rumors I got from anonymous sources and with no single hint of reliability. Unlike FAKE rumors we are here not 100% certain ALL this info is wrong. A FAKE rumor is when we 100% know the source and we know that this source keeps posting false info or fantasies like the A5 teaser source.
So have fun with this 95% unlikely to be true SR1 ranked rumors. And if one of these wil prove to be correct I will of course post their future rumors with a higher ranking.
Source 1:
Zeiss 24-105 F4 will come end of this year
Source 2:

No new APS-C Camera will be announced
a new consumer compact / travel zoom is down the pipeline and one new A7 series
also there will be a new action cam sporting ultra slowmo
Source 3:
sony will launch in this year
400/2.8
200-600
24-105(Note: that source also said A7III launch would be delayed til early 2018. The 400mm FE lens is actually a rumor which is going to happen because it got confirmed by trusted sources. But I have not heard ever from them that there is a 24-105mm FE and 200-600mm coming this year)
