By end of May Sony will announce a new Full Frame E-mount camera.. A new source told me that this new Sony camera will have a tilting EVF that works like on this Lumix camera. I’m still waiting for confirmation from trusted sources about this. But it would definitely be cool if it turns out to be true!

Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE Review by Opticallimits: “impressive lens”

Share

Preorders: Amazon USA (Click here), Pergear, Viltrox store, €1,099 at Amazon DE, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES, and £959 at Amazon UK.

Opticallimits tested the new Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE lens and concluded:

Viltrox delivered another impressive lens – this time the ultra-fast Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE. It’s not only fast, but also capable of producing great image quality. It’s very sharp at f/1.2 and reaches greatness from f/2. Lateral CAs are low. Axial CAs are noticeable at large aperture settings, although not excessive. The vignetting is typical for such a lens. Images shows a slight pincushion distortions – and our pre-prod sample didn’t have a correction profile to eliminate them. The background bokeh is very smooth and out-of-focus highlights are nicely rendered.

The build quality is up to professional standards thanks to a weather-sealed all metal housing. The focus control ring is smooth. We wished that Viltrox had used a marked aperture ring instead of “infinite scrolling” but that’s a matter of taste. A more precise aperture change per “click” would have been nice, though. The AF is quick and noiseless.

Some may find it almost suspicious that we rated many (although not all) Viltrox lenses so highly. However, most of our rating depends on data, and it matches with what we can see in sample images. So, it is once again … highly recommended!

And here is one more review from Mathieu Stern:

Sony FX3a announced with new 2.36 million-dot screen

Share

The new Sony FX3a has been announced an dis now listed on stores like BHphoto, Jessops.

  1. LCD screen resolution upgrade: from 1.44 million dots to 2.36 million dots
  2. USB-C connection in place of the older USB 3.2 Gen 1 port
  3. Standard charger from BC-QZ1 to BC-ZD1 model.

That’s it.

The good news of this news: Our sources were spot on. They told us that today we would get the FX3a and therefore also the second part of their rumor is correct: In late May a NEW camera that is somehow related to this camera and this camera lineup.
