Don’t get excited. It would be too good if true. The 70-200mm GM sells for 1.200 Euro at Amazon Germany (Click here). This is certainly an error made by the store. The price and in Stock status indicates this must the older f/4.0 FE version!

Note: The new 24-70mm and 85mm Gm lenses will ship in 1-2 weeks from now.

(SR2) Sony rumored to announce a new 18-105mm PZ E-mount Cine Lens.

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2016-03-27 um 10.49.13

Current FS5 and FS7 owners certainly miss a PZ lens which suites for the sensor size of their camcorder. The current Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens is not wide enough for them. So let’s hope this rumor is correct. I got this from an anonymous source who also sent me the new FF E-mount camcorder rumor (article here). I have no confirmations from reliable sources so pelase take it as usual with a grain of salt. The source writes:

Just heard from an industry source that Sony are producing an updated G-Master E PZ Cine Lens 18-105mm due around Nab 2016 (Editos’r note: Updated version of the Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens)
My Source was not sure of the final f-stop except that it would be Parafocal and maintain the same f-stop throughout the zoom range. Their own personal feeling was that would still be about f3- f4 but with improved image resolution and performance to warrant the G moniker.

World’s first test: Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 on the new Sony 101 Megapixel Medium format sensor!

Share

1966932594a

SAR reader Egmont is the first that tried to use the Superb Otus 85mm lens on the Alpa and new Phase One back with Sony 101 Megapixel sensor. This is what he wrote to me:

“Since you guys seem to be big fans of both the Zeiss Otus 85/1.4 and the new Phase One 100MP digital back, I thought I would share this with you. A few days ago we tested the Otus 85/1.4 on an ALPA 12 FPS with Canon adapter and Phase One’s new 100MP digital back.


Full Size image sample can be downloaded via Wetransfer (Click here)

As you can see by the attached image shot at f1.4 of a good friend of mine, it seems to me that besides the vignetting at the corners due to the massive dimensions of the new Sony sensor, the Otus is more than ready for the 100MP+ sensors of the future! I was blown away by the revolving power of the Otus 85mm even at its biggest aperture….”

And if you wonder if the Otus can cover the full medium format sensor size area when you stop down the aperture. He says: “The vignetting is much more controlled at f4 and then almost all gone at f8. ”

You can download the massive full size image samples via Wetransfer (Click here). Be aware that it contains more than 1GB images!!!
