The new adapter is listed on eBay and soon also on Amazon. Press text:

After 7 years of development, the Techart Leica M to Sony E Autofocus Adapter has returned with better autofocus performance, sleeker design and way more powerful motors.

• 4 radially positioned, small and light servo motors
• 4-axis support guarantees much faster focusing

• USB Update tool included
• Support in camera 3-axis image stabilisation and relies on the phase detection AF of the Sony cameras to turn your manual lenses into autofocus lenses.
• Optimal 4.5mm extension balances AF speed and usability.
• Stack additional adapters to enjoy autofocus with literally ANY lenses (EF / F / OM/ PK/ FD / LR / L39, etc)
• not applicable to LTM/M mount lenses that are with the infinity lock button.

In recent years, Sony has often announced new cameras at its Creative Space events, usually held in late October or early November. But this year Sony seems to not have planned such an event. It might be that in very last minute they will announce it but this is really odd and a sign that they might have NO camera ot announce this year? If you happen to have some info about that please drop me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

As I reported last week, the Sony A7V will be launched in the first quarter of 2025. The Sony A1II will also be on the market in 2025. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there’s something I don’t know yet and we might get an announcement in October-November, like every year!

DJI announced the new impressive Osmo Action 5 that is already in Stock(!) at Amazon, BHphoto, DJI, Adorama, WexUK, FotoErhardt. A hands-on report can be read at Explora.

OK, this is not yet a competitor for a Sony camera. But DJI has once again shown us how to make impressive new devices. And if the rumors about the development of a mirrorless FF camera are true, Sony (and all other Japanese companies) should be really worried!

P.S.: And I still wonder why Sony is not present in this market…

The new flash is now in Stock at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama.

• Includes Speedlite & Bare Bulb Heads
• Wireless Sync with Optional X3 Trigger
• Compatible with Most TTL Systems
