I have been told that this week Samyang will announce a new autofocus zoom lens for the Sony E-mount system. My source also said that “there would be a surprising news anyone expected about the brand“. No idea yet what this means…
I think you should take a close look at the new Sigma BF camera (here at BHphoto). The main reason is that it has a radically minimalist design, which I personally really like! Here is some important information:
carved from a single block of aluminum
minimalist controls
230 GB of internal memory
No EVF, no SD slot, no HDmi, no IBIS and NO to a lot of things you usually have on a camera!
Sigma BF Stands for ‘Beautiful Foolishness’
From a technical perspective, this really is a ‘boring’ camera, but the novelty here is the radical new design and user interface. I would love to see Sony produce a ZV or RX FF camera with such high build quality and a simplified, solid button layout. I’m seriously considering buying the WHITE model :)
Here you can see images of the Aluminum block used to carve out the new BF camera:
