Lenstip claims the Samyang 135mm f/1.8 is the better choice over the Sony GM version

Share

Lenstip reviewed both lenses and came to the following surprising conclusion:

The summary of this test should consist of superlatives only. Let’s face it, Samyang offers you an excellent lens. It’s a device that is able to rival on equal terms with the Sony model and, additionally, in many categories it prevails. Mind you, its price is two times lower than the price of the Sony. You have to admit in such a situation it would be difficult not to recommend the new Samyang.

What if (big if!) that Nikon roadmap prediction is true?

Share

I really don’t know if that Nikon camera roadmap prediction is correct (via MirrorlessRumors). But let’s assume for a moment this is the real deal and Nikon will announce:

  • November 2022: Z7III with 45MP and 8K
  • November 2022: Z6III with 24MP and 6K
  • January 2023: Z5II with 24MP and 4K
  • March 2023: Z90 with 24MP
  • June 2023: ZF with 24MP
  • August 2023: Z8 with 61MP and 8K
  • October 2023: Z50II with 21MP

What do you think about that? My short thoughts:

  • Z7III with 8k sounds great, and certainly would pressure Sony in offering an affordable 8K Alpha camera.
  • Knowing that Sony is announcing the A7rV now I would find it strange that Nikon will answer with the Z8 in August 2023 only.
