You can get this lens now for $329 or 300 Euro at Meike store. It should be available any time also on their Amazon page.

This week the new new pancake lens became available at Amazon US, BHphoto, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon IT, Amazon ES, Amazon FR, Pergear, Viltrox.

I quickly checked the various Amazon popularity rankings and that’s the current situation of the Viltrox lens sales (note…ranking changes hourly):

Amazon US (2nd place)
Amazon DE (6th place)
Amazon UK (6th place)
Amazon IT (13th place)
Amazon FR (44th place)
Amazon ES (74th place).

So it’s doing pretty well! Dear Sony, now it’s your turn to gives us a proper Full Frame pancake lens like that wildly rumored 28mm f/2.8 ;)

A Vietnamese store is accepting reorders on a Sony A7V that does yet NOT exist. The listed specs are those of the current Sony A7IV and the image is hilariously photoshopped. But I appreciate that they at least tried to design something new.

Personal note: I am a fan of top screen…hope one day Sony will add this feature for me :)

Press text:

Gigapixel 8 brings powerful new models that push the limits of image enhancement, offering unmatched control for both restoration and creative upscaling. Whether you’re recovering lost details or generating imaginative visuals, Gigapixel 8 has the tools to elevate your images like never before.

  • Redefine Model (Creative Upscaler): This new model pushes the boundaries of creative upscaling while staying true to your input image. With diffusion-based generative output and text prompts available for more specific results, this tool offers a new level of freedom for producing imaginative visuals.

• Recovery Model: This model goes beyond the capabilities of our standard models, restoring missing details in images that would have been unusable otherwise. It’s especially useful for restoring old photos, scanned images, and improving faces and text, delivering results that were previously impossible.
• Gen2 Face Recovery: With two modes—Realistic and Creative—this model offers enhanced results for faces, even in low-quality or damaged images. Whether you’re refining details to stay true to the original or creating imaginative reconstructions, this feature delivers high-fidelity, creative enhancements.

New Gigapixel Cloud Service

Alongside Gigapixel 8, we’re introducing Cloud Rendering, a credit-based, server processing option. Cloud Rendering allows anyone to offload processing tasks for faster and more efficient image enhancement, making it ideal for those with lower-powered hardware or users wanting quicker results with our Recovery or Redefine models.

Key benefits include:

• Faster processing speeds for higher-quality results
• Allows simultaneous enhancements for multiple images
