A newly published patent discloses the design of a new Viltrox 28mm pancake lens. It’s an autofocus Full Frame lens but there is no info about the possible aperture. Hope it’s f/2.8 like that nice Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM Lens!

Pentax officially announced the new Pentax 17 film camera. You can reorder it now at BHphoto, Adorama, FotoErhardt. A hands-on report can be read on Explora.

Call me crazy, but I have always dreamed of a Sony E-mount film camera. Imagine being able to use all the superb E-mount glass on a film camera. I think it would create instant excitement among the community. Feel free to laugh at my proposal in the comment system, but I remain convinced that Sony needs some out-of-the-box thinking. And whether we like it or not, young people today love to buy film cameras.

Nikon announced the new Z6III (specs and preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, WexUK). The one curious new feature is that it features the world’s first “partially stacked CMOS sensor”. PetaPixel writes:

While highly performant, a fully stacked image sensor is also costly. Nikon says a partially stacked design offers some of the benefits of a stacked sensor without all the expense. These benefits include faster autofocus performance, reduced rolling shutter, a smoother electronic viewfinder experience, swifter shooting speeds, and expanded video modes with higher frame rates.

This camera aims to compete with the Sony A7IV. A specification comparison table is available on the BHphoto page (Click here). I beliebe the Z6II edges the Sony in the video features. The Z6III is only the second mid-range camera to feature internal RAW recording (first was the Lumix GH7 announced last week). Below I will post the review from Chris Niccols and Gerald Undone. But here comes the big question:
