Sirui is teasing the launch of new autofocus lens. The lens will be available for different mounts including E-mount. Sirui is well known for their good quality anamorphic manual focusing lenses. No idea yet about the possible specs of their first autofocus lens but I certainly expect it to have high optical quality.
One new source sent me this:
Good news! The a6700 will have focus stacking in camera! Really looking forward to it!
Let’s hope this one is spot on!
Reminder: The new High End APS-C camera will be announced next week on July 12. Specs and name are still not 100% confirmed. But it might be named A6700 and might use the same 26MP sensor of the FX30.
Opticallimits reviewed the Sony FE 100-400mm GM and concluded:
The Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS is interesting for users who prefer a more compact size, lower weight and higher versatility compared to the current breed of 500mm/600mm zoom lenses. However, it isn’t as superlative as the high price tag and the GM label may suggest.
I also do think the 100-400mm GM is one of those lenses that are in need for an update!

TTartisan new 100mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift 2xmacro lens you can preorder on their shop page at Pergear shop and Amazon worldwide store.
SonyAlphaBlog published the full TTartisan 100mm review and concluded:
The TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 Macro 2:1 Tilt shift (400$ / 499 euros) try to do it all in one lens. It is quite big and heavy and ergonomics are average with very hard focusing and aperture rings and a not enough dampened tilt shift mechanism
If you close down by one stop you can reach excellent sharpness performance in the centre. Closed to F5.6 and it will be very good to excellent on the entire frame
Macro , Tilt Shift results are very good but some specialised lens in macro do better (e.g. Laowa 90mm F2.8 macro 2:1 – 659 euros)
The bad resistance to flare and vintage colors outside make it no well suited outside of macro work for me
Although Tilt shift is interesting the Shift is mostly to be used on wide angle, so you should primarily look this lens as macro and a bit of Tilt
The camera I do own actually wins the battle…LOL.
Yes, I do own the A7rV since late 2022 and I am super happy with it! It’s a solid real photographers friendly camera!
