Within the next 24hours Oprema will launch their second E-mount lens: The Biotar 58mm f/2. 0. The current Biotar 75mm Kickstarter campaign now mentions this lens too. The image above shows the silhouette of the lens profile.
We still find it somewhat amazing that no one has yet challenged Sony in the full frame mirrorless market. It is to the point now that any serious contender to the FE system will need to be pretty great right out of the gate, as Sony has had many years not to perfect and work the kinks out of their system.
Sony invited filmmakers on a big press event on September 6. They will finally unveil the new CineAta Full Frame cinema camera.

The current E-mount cameras do have a 10 pin communication terminal on the mount. But this brand new Sony patent describes an 8 pin version.

Maybe some patent expert can […] The post Brand new Sony patent describes a new 8 pin mount terminal appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
I got two info about a possible new Sony A77III A-mount camera: Source 1: the development for a77 mk3 is finished, it is now already in deep real-life testing cycle and it will be astonishing good and really, but really fast ;) A SAR reader had a talk with a Sony manager who told him […] The post (SR3) First rumors about a new Sony A77III A-mount camera (Same A6500 sensor and 4K) appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
A source at Nikongear spilled out the possible Nikon D850 specs. And it really seems like it will NOT use the same Sony A7rII sensor. Instead it will feature a Sony made (and Nikon tweaked?) 46 megapixel Full Frame sensor.
Fuji GFX vs Sony A7rII So far all past Sony medium format rumors from non-verified sources were incorrect. But never the less I am going to publish this because it sounds a bit more “reasonable” and I would like to kickstart a discussion on this: Many cameras are tested and never brought to market, so […] The post An interesting Sony medium format development rumor…and a poll for Sony engineers and managers. appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

Image Sensor World spotted this new 20.4MP curved sensor from CEA-LETI. It’s a prototype for astronomical applications: “By directly correcting the field curvature in the focal plane, curved detectors help saving about one third of the optics, usually used as field flatteners, and then avoids undesirable distortion effect either in the image and also on […] The post CEA-LETI Presents Full Frame Curved Sensor Prototype appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

Zeiss 35mm f/1. 4 and the Zeiss 35mm f/2. 8 via Camerasize A trusted source “heard” about a small delay of the first Sigma FE lenses Sigma FE lenses probably will be delayed (not announced in summer but still this year) So we can expect the announcement to happen in Q4 instead of Q3.

Sony’s next A7III camera will be announced in October-November. And it will be in the same pricing class of the soon to be announced new 6DmarkII (full specs and images at CanonWatch).

Sony retracted the statement they left on BHphoto saying that they will add S-LOG on the A9. Pity if true that they will not add S-LOG.

Batis 135mm f/2. 8 vs the (CameraSize) While we have to wait til fall to get the new A7III Summer is still going to be exciting with the launch of the new 135mm and 400mm FE lenses. I still have no 100% confirmation on the aperture but the 135mm is likely to get a f/1.

It’s no secret that Nikon is suffering big losses in the camera market. And unlike so many other companies Nikon depends very much from the camera business. Now here come the unexpected rumor posted by Fujirumors: Japanese government is directly involved in finding a company that can help Nikon.
Ten days ago Sony China launched that teaser for a new camera launch. But we still got no news about the camera specs. By the way, this is a legit teaser. They made the same a year ago for the A6300 launch (teaser here).
Sony support at the BHphoto Q&A page confirmed the Sony A9 will get S-Log. We should get this soon with the next firmware update.
